A first run was made with a 3,5" OD slickline fishing magnet from a non-disclosed supplier, but the magnet failed to recover the lost guide. Then Innovar Solutions Middle East was contacted and supplied a 3,3-in OD Magnum Fishing Magnet, model FMP 33ss. The FMP 33ss has a lifting capacity of up to 320 kg at full contact. The client ran the 3,3" OD Magnum Fishing Magnet on coil tubing and recovered the lost 5" guide on the first run.
