Mechanical oscillator frees stuck pipe strings using resonance technology. B. Bernat and H. Bernat. OGJ, 3 November 1997, 95(44), 68--71.

Resonant vibration technologies provide an alternative method for freeing stuck coiled-tubing, liners, and drillstrings. Situations where the axial reciprocation of pipe, the use of large tensile, compressive, or percussive forces; or where pipe/well bore friction prohibits movement of the string may respond favourably to the use of pipe vibration. Consideration is given to advantages of the technology, practical considerations, tubular connections, fatigue stress, and attenuation. Recent examples are presented and discussed. 2 refs.
