WIRELINE APPLICATIONS

Many of today’s most vital oilfield operations depend directly on the use of wireline, a strong, thin length of wire cable mounted on a powered reel. Wireline is particularly important during completion and production. Field operators can run anything from a basic downhole directional survey to the most delicate gamma ray formation log on wireline. They can fire perforating charges at precisely determined downhole locations, back off a string of stuck pipe, retrieve a wrench, or manipulate complex subsurface well pressure and flow controls.

This training course covers the development of wireline operations, describes wireline equipment, and describes the various operations (diagnostic, troubleshooting, and completion and production maintenance) performed using wireline equipment.

DURATION: 5 days

​

LEVEL: Foundation to Skill

​

DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE...

This course is designed for engineers, senior operations personnel, and company representatives
with zero-to-intermediate well intervention knowledge who are assigned to evaluate, plan, and/or
execute coiled tubing, slickline or wireline interventions.

​

HOW WE BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE

We will use slides presentation, paper exercises and examples from real cases.

Group discussion and experience exchange.

​

THE BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING

The organization will gain, in sending their employees to attend this training course, the following:
  • Reduction in the cost of the well by proper selection of wireline operation

  • Extending the well life and control it, achieve the optimum production using wireline operation instead of normal rig operations

  • Ensuring the well integrity and avoiding all risks during wireline operations.

 

By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your understanding:

  • Introduction to the variable nature of wireline.

  • Describe the inherent risks and need for careful diagnostics, planning and supervision.

  • Know the well control barrier principles during a wireline operation.

  • Identify three barriers methodology during wireline operation.

  • Know well control barrier classification for different type of wireline method.

  • Describe the mechanisms of a wireline operation.

  • List and describe the commonly used downhole wireline equipment and tools.

  • List and describe the surface wireline equipment requirements; lubricator; BOP; stripper.

  • Describe well pressure control and safety issues associated with wireline.

  • State the limitations on successful wireline operation imposed by depth, hole angle and dog leg severity

  • Learn procedures and equipment used in wireline operation.
