As the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Halliburton continues to provide high-quality slickline service tools.

Wireline Socket

Stem

Slickline Toolstring
Wireline Toolstring A wireline toolstring is attached to the wireline to furnish the mechanical force necessary for setting, pulling, or servicing subsurface equipment under pressure without killing the well. Toolstrings are available in various ODs and component lengths designed to be compatible with various tubing sizes. Otis Rope Sockets Otis rope sockets provide a means for connecting the wireline to the toolstring. The wireline is tied around a disc or dart in the socket to achieve a firm connection. Otis Stems Otis stems are used as weight to overcome stuffing-box packing friction and well pressure on the cross-sectional area of the wireline. The stem can also transmit force either upward or downward to set or retrieve subsurface controls. Size and weight of the stem are determined by the impact force required and the size of the subsurface control to be run or pulled. For normal conditions, 5 ft of 1 1/2-in. OD stem is made up by combining 2-, 3-, or 5-ft (0.61, 0.91, 1.22 m) lengths of standard stem. For high-pressure applications when additional weight is needed, lead or mallory-filled stems are available.

Otis Accelerators Otis accelerators are used with and just above hydraulic jars for shallow, weighty jarring. Accelerators help maintain constant pull as the hydraulic jars begin to open. The accelerator inhibits pulling the wireline out of the wireline socket at these shallow depths. Otis Knuckle Joints Otis knuckle joints have a special ball and socket design, allowing angular movement between the jars and the running or pulling tool to help align them with the tubing. Knuckle joints are important if the tubing is corkscrewed and when wireline work is done in a directional hole. In these conditions, joints are used at every connection in the toolstring. Where stem and jars will not align or move freely, tool operation may be impossible; however, the knuckle joint inhibits the wireline tools from hanging up. Otis Jars Otis jars are available in mechanical and hydraulic types. With a set of mechanical jars below the stem, the weight of the jars and stem can be used to jar up or down by pulling and releasing the wireline. A Halliburton wireline specialist can easily feel the jars and manipulate the wireline. Hydraulic jars are designed to provide jarring action in wells in which it is difficult to obtain good jarring action with mechanical jars. Hydraulic jars, which allow an upward impact only, are usually run just above the regular mechanical jars. They require careful maintenance for maximum use in the toolstring. Jar operation is monitored by a weight indicator. Otis B Blind Box Otis B blind box serves as the impact point when downward jarring operations are required.

Slickline Detent Jars


The Halliburton detent jar is a mechanically operated jar that is run on slickline or wireline to deliver an impact through the toolstring when the release setting is overcome by tension. This jar has adjustable stroke and release settings that are predetermined on the surface prior to running the jar. The detent jar can be run with accelerator, weight bar, and link-type or Spang jars for delivering an optimum impact load for releasing a stuck object or operating a downhole tool. The detent jar is re-settable downhole by slacking weight at the jar to a collapsed mode. The jar can be tripped and reset rapidly and multiple times downhole. There are no seals in the detent jar, so bottomhole temperature or pressure has minimal effect on the jar operation. Sometimes in deep and deviated wells, the line tension on the weight indicator at the surface is not the same line tension at the rope socket. Modeling the slickline job with Cerberus will provide calculated rope socket line tensions.

Otis Quick Connect Toolstring Connection


Before its extensive field history, the Otis quick connect was thoroughly tested in both the engineering laboratory and the Halliburton test well in Carrollton, Texas. During the design proving phase, a 1 1/2-in. (38.1 cm) Otis quick connect was jarred through 50,000 cycles at impact loads of 9,000 to 10,000 lb (4082.33 to 4535.92 kg) in both directions. Tensile testing on the tool after jarring revealed the Otis quick connect had retained full strength throughout the operation. Now Halliburton toolstring components and wireline service tools are available with integral Otis quick connects. Features Spacing of load-bearing shoulders will not allow coupling to connect until full engagement of all shoulders are in place Self-washing feature minimizes sand buildup in the locking mechanism Designed for manual operation; no special tools required Otis quick connect design ensures proper toolstring makeup Reliable disconnect, even in sandy environment Safe assembly/disassembly on location Faster turnaround on location minimizes job time

Auxiliary Tools For Use with Slickline Toolstring


Otis Gauge Cutter and Swaging Tools It is important to run a gauge cutter before running subsurface controls to: (1) determine if the flow control will pass freely through the tubing and (2) to locate the top of the landing nipple or restriction if any are in the tubing. The gauge cutter knife (larger than OD of the control) is designed to cut away paraffin, scale, and other debris in the tubing. Mashed spots in the tubing and large obstructions may be removed with the swaging tool. These tools are available in sizes for all tubing IDs. Otis Impression Tool Otis impression tool is a lead-filled cylinder with a pin through the leaded section to secure it to the body of the tool. It is used during a fishing operation to ascertain the shape or size of the top of the fish and to indicate the type of tool necessary for the next operation. Otis Tubing Broach Otis tubing broach is made up of three major parts: (1) mandrel, (2) nut, and (3) a set of three spools. Spools are tapered and used to cut burrs in the tubing ID caused by perforation, rust, bent tubing, etc. A small OD spool is run first followed by the next larger size, followed by a spool corresponding to the original ID of the tubing. Broach assemblies are run on wireline. Otis M Magnetic Fishing Tool Otis M magnetic fishing tool is designed to remove small particles of ferrous metals from the top of tools in the well.

Otis G Fishing Socket Otis G fishing socket was designed primarily to extract prongs with fishing necks from Halliburton subsurface equipment, such as the Otis PS plug choke. Otis P Wireline Grab Otis P wireline grab is a fishing tool designed to extract broken wireline or cable from the tubing or casing. Otis Go-Devil Otis go-devil is a slotted stem with a fishing neck. Should the tool become stuck, the go-devil can be attached to the slickline via a small strip of metal pinned in the slot to keep the wireline from coming out. The go-devil is dropped from surface and will slide down the wire until it hits a restriction or the top of the rope socket. The go-devil will cut the slickline at that point, allowing the slickline to be retrieved. Its use is usually limited to fishing operations where the wireline socket is inaccessible and the line must be cut. Otis go-devils designed to cut the wireline at the wireline socket are also available. Expandable Wirefinder The expandable wirefinder is designed to locate wireline lost below a tubing restriction (such as a TRSV). The expandable wirefinder is held retracted in a sleeve which is run, located, and preferably latched in the restriction in the tubing. The wirefinder is then sheared out of the sleeve allowing it to expand to the ID of the tubing. Once the lost wireline is found and deformed, the wirefinder can be returned to its running sleeve and retracted for retrieval. A wireline grab is then run to latch and retrieve the lost wireline.

Running Tools
Otis X and R Running Tools Otis X and R running tools are used to set Otis X, XN, R, RN, and RQ lock mandrels in their respective Otis landing nipples. These tools are designed with locator dogs, serving to locate the proper landing nipple and positioning the lock mandrel before locating and locking. By selecting the position of the running tool, the lock mandrel keys may be placed in the locating or retracted position. Otis RXN Running Tools Otis RXN running tools set Otis X, XN, R, RN, RPT, and RQ lock mandrels in their respective landing nipples. This tool is generally used for installing wireline-retrievable subsurface valves in the uppermost landing nipple in staggered bore nipples such as RPT. With this tool, the lock mandrel may be run with the keys in the control or locating positions. The lock mandrel keys or no-go serve to locate the nipple rather than the dogs on the running tool. When a non-no-go lock is being run, the keys must be run in the locating position and the lock must be set in the first nipple in the bore of that lock size. The tool gives a positive indication when the lock is fully set. Otis SAFETYSET Running Tools Otis SAFETYSET running tools are used to set Halliburton surfacecontrolled, wireline-retrievable safety valves on Otis RP and RQ lock mandrels. Two independent conditions must exist in sequence before the running tool will release the valve and lock. First, the SCSSV must be pressured open to activate the running tool. Second, only when the locking sleeve is moved upward into its locked position will the running tool release. A running tool retrieved to the surface without the lock and valve indicates a functional valve securely locked in the landing nipple. Otis UP Running Tool An Otis UP running tool is also available for running SAFETYSET lock mandrels and subsurface safety valves, which utilize staggered sealbores. The UP running tool is entirely mechanical and does not require control line pressure to activate. Otis MR Running Tools Otis MR running tools are used to run Otis XNS and RNS soft set bomb hangers. This running tool is designed to carry weight exceeding the 140-lb (63.50 kg) weight limit of hydraulic running tools because no preset force needs to be overcome. The lugs of the running tool hold the fish neck of the bomb hanger during the running of the bombs. The lugs are held in the expanded position by the core in the fully down position. When the bomb hanger locks into the nipple profile, the lock moves upward, pushing the core up by means of the core extension. Once the core is pushed up, the lock-out lug can then be pushed into the core recess by the leaf spring, thus locking the core in the up position. In the up position, the core no longer holds the lugs out and the running tool is disengaged from the hanger. The bomb hanger and pressure gauges are left suspended in the well.

Pulling Tools
Fishing Neck

Internal Fishing Necks Otis GS pulling tools are used during wireline operations to unlock and pull a variety of subsurface controls with internal fishing necks, such as an Otis G pack-off assembly. Designed to shear with a jarring down action, this pulling tool is used where excessive jarring upward is necessary to retrieve subsurface flow controls. In the running position, the dogs are designed to seat and lock in the internal recess of the mandrel being retrieved. If the device cannot be retrieved by upward jarring, the GS pulling tool can be released by jarring down which shears the pin to allow the pulling tool and toolstring to be removed from the well. With this tool being a shear-down-to-release, it can be used in many cases as a running tool for certain devices. Otis GR pulling tools are used during wireline operations to unlock and pull a variety of subsurface controls with internal fishing necks, including: Otis D bridge plugs, Otis X and R lock mandrels, Otis D mandrels, and Otis D collar stops. Designed to shear with a jarring up action, this pulling tool is used during routine wireline operations on controls when shear-down is not possible. The Otis GR pulling tool is assembled by incorporating an Otis GS pulling tool with an Otis GU shear-up adapter. External Fishing Necks Otis S pulling tools are designed for jobs in which extensive upward jarring is required to pull a bottomhole control. This tool is designed to pull any subsurface equipment with an external fishing neck. The core is manufactured in various lengths and may be changed in the field to accommodate the fishing necks of various controls. These are referred to as SS, SB, or SJ. The tool is designed to shear and release by downward jarring. With this feature, the tool may also be used as a running tool to run collar stops, pack-off anchor stops, and various other Halliburton tools.

Otis R pulling tools are designed for jobs in which extensive downward jarring is required. Tools use upward jarring to release when necessary. Dogs in the R pulling tool engage the fishing neck of the device to allow it to shear with upward jarring. The R pulling tool can be modified as follows: Otis RB pulling tool (R body with a B core) pulls Otis B, C, and W lock mandrel assemblies and mandrel assemblies with full relative motion Otis RS pulling tool (R body with S core) pulls Halliburton S mandrel assemblies Otis RJ pulling tool (R body with J core) pulls all controls that do not have full relative motion

Plugs For Wells Without Landing Nipples


Monolock Plug The Halliburton Monolock plug is designed to be set anywhere in a given size of tubing, casing, or liner. The Monolock plug differs from a conventional lock mandrel because it does not require either a profile or sealbore in the tubing string and is retained in its set position by slips rather than keys. The Monolock plug may be used in association with the Halliburton full bore nipple system or any other selective or nipple and lock system. The plug is set and retrieved with Halliburtons DPU running and retrieving tools, which can be run on slickline, braided line, or coiled tubing. When used for plugging applications, the plug is designed to withstand differential pressure of up to 10,000 psi (690 bar) from either direction. Applications As a retrievable bridge plug placed anywhere in the tubing string Can be adapted to install BHP gauges and other flow control devices Plug tubing below hanger for well repairs Features Pressure ratings up to 10,000 psi (690 bar) Requires no landing receptacle Seals against pipe ID Slip-type anchor system Element is retracted during retrieval Belleville spring energy storage system provides positive sealing during pressure reversals Can be installed and retrieved through restrictions Run and retrieved on same DPU unit Run on slickline, braided line, or coiled tubing Element located above slips, preventing any debris accumulation around slip area Equalizing feature provided in standard assembly Barrel-slip design provides maximum slip engagement while minimizing tubing deformation Benefits Can be set anywhere in tubing, casing, or liner Quick running and retrieval Use of slickline rather than conductor line lowers installation and retrieval costs Redressable in field, reducing downtime Because element returns to original shape, assembly can be recovered back through restrictions Slip configuration ensures centralized setting of the lock even in high-angle or horizontal wells Provides same reliability as production packers Slip design minimizes tubing deformation

Test Tools
Otis selective test tools are used to test tubing, locate leaks, or set hydraulic-set packers. Designed to hold pressure from above, selective test tools may be set in compatible Otis X, XN, R, or RN landing nipples in the tubing string. With the keys retracted, the tool is run to a point below the desired nipple. Pulling up through the nipple releases the locking keys to set the tool with downward motion. Pressure from above may then be applied. Features Designed for high working pressure Located in the lowest nipples first, these tools are then moved up the tubing and set in sequential nipples until a leak is not detected, thus reducing wireline trips Otis Non-Selective Test Tools Otis non-selective test tools are designed to test the tubing string, set hydraulic packers, and protect lower zones when circulating through a Sliding Side-Door circulating device or producing a zone above the lowermost zone. Designed to hold pressure from above only by employing the use of a drop valve equalizing assembly, the non-selective test tools land in no-go landing nipples with compatible packing bores. When landed in the landing nipple, pressure from above is sealed by the drop, seal ring, and v-packing. In order to retrieve by wireline, the drop is moved off seat with a pulling tool. This equalizes the pressure across the test tool, allowing it to be retrieved. Features Ease of running, setting, and retrieving No-go OD on bottom of tool for positive location in landing nipple May be pumped into the well Designed for high-pressure ratings

Positioning Tools
Otis BO Selective Positioning Tools Otis BO selective positioning tools are used to move the inner sleeve to its open or closed position in Sliding Side-Door circulating devices.

Note: The Otis B selective positioning tool is not to be used for shifting Otis XXO or RRO surface-controlled safety valve nipples. For these nipples, use the Otis XL or RL shifting tool.
The positioning tool engages the recess in the upper (or lower) end of the inner sleeve to permit the sleeve to be shifted by a jarring action. The tool is designed to release itself only after the sleeve reaches its fully open or closed position. This automatic-releasing feature incorporates a releasing profile on the key itself that acts to compress the key spring and release the positioning tool. A shear pin is an added feature designed to release the tool in the event well conditions make it impossible to shift the sleeve. A set of positive keys is available for this tool to permit upward movement of the inner sleeve of one among several Sliding Side-Door circulating devices in one wellbore. These keys do not have a releasing profile. The positioning tool pin must be sheared to release.

Note: The Otis BO selective positioning tool will not pass through position number 1 of Otis S landing nipples.
Otis BO selective positioning tools are designed to selectively position Sliding Side-Door inner sleeves only to the down position. These tools are designed so that one sleeve can be shifted to the down position at any level in the tubing string without shifting any other sleeve. This positioning tool is designed with dogs that serve to locate the proper Sliding Side-Door circulating device and release the spring-loaded keys to engage the profile in the inner sleeve. The tool is designed to release itself only after the sleeve reaches the full-down position. This automaticrelease feature incorporates a releasing profile on the key that acts to compress the key spring and release the positioning tool. The tool can then be raised to the next Sliding Side-Door circulating device to position its sleeve down or return to the surface.

Tubing Perforators and Bailers


Otis A tubing perforators are mechanically operated and can be used with slickline (under pressure) to perforate both standard and heavyweight tubing. Applications To provide access to casing annulus to circulate or kill a well To bring in additional productive zones To permit production through tail pipe that has been plugged and cannot be opened by regular methods Features No explosives used, minimizing the possibility of perforating the casing Safety-release mechanism designed to permit removing perforator without perforating Greater tubing penetration Perforator designed to retract the punch and release automatically after perforating Service performed by Halliburton-trained personnel Otis M sand pump bailers may be used to remove a sand bridge if one is encountered during normal wireline operations. The sand bailer consists of a piston encased in an outer cylinder. By working the wireline in the same manner as used to set certain subsurface controls (lightly jarring up and down), the bailer acts to pull sand into the cylinder to remove the sand bridge. An assortment of bailer bottoms is available: Flat bottom for soft, easy-to-bail sand Chisel bottom for hard-packed sand Flapper bottom for bailing metal particles that are too large to pass the ball and seat Otis B hydrostatic bailers are designed for use when the substance to be bailed cannot be removed by a pump-type bailer. This is sometimes the case when small metallic particles become lodged on top of the locking mandrel dogs of a subsurface flow control. The Otis B hydrostatic bailer is sealed at the surface and run into the tubing bore with the internal bailer chamber at atmospheric pressure. When the bailer reaches the object to be bailed, a few downward strokes of the wireline jars act to shear a small sealing disc and admit the well pressure and/or hydrostatic head (as well as the junk) into the bailer cylinder. A ball check valve acts to contain the junk in addition to the well pressure until the bailer is retrieved. For large pieces of junk, a flapper bottom and junk basket are available.

Note: The internal chamber pressure should always be bled off through the bailer release valve before the bailer bottom is broken off at surface.

Advanced Slickline Services


Highly developed measurement and innovative downhole tools provide low-cost slickline solutions for well interventions. Halliburton Advanced slickline services let you set and retrieve packers, plugs, and monobore flow controls, and perforate, cut casing, and tubingall with depth accuracy comparable to electric line with the efficiency of slickline. Halliburtons innovative slickline technology produces depth measurements so accurate you can now use slickline procedures for many services traditionally reserved for electric line operations. Procedure for procedure, when compared to electric line, Halliburton's new slickline technology substantially lowers your total cost. Key developments make this revolutionary advance in slickline utility possible: An advanced measurement system that makes slickline depth readings comparable to electric line depth readings A slickline collar locator that pinpoints tubing or casing collars A downhole power unit that eliminates the need for explosives to set packers and plugs An electronic triggering device that fires perforating and cutting charges A data/job logger that produces real-time slickline collar logs or customer job summary A wire inspection device that detects abnormalities in slickline to facilitate wire management and reduce premature failures Unprecedented Slickline Accuracy Halliburton's Advanced Measurement System (AMS) uses microprocessor technology to take the guesswork out of slickline depth measurements. Yes, we still count wheel turns. But, the processor not only counts wheel turns, it also instantly and continuously adjusts for the effect of ambient temperature on counter wheel size and for tension-caused line stretch measured with an electronic load sensor. Depth, tension, and line speed are logged and a hard copy printed in real time, guiding the operator and providing a permanent job record. Correlate to the Original Log to Identify Collar Locations Halliburton's exclusive slickline collar locator further enhances data accuracy. As it passes a tubing or casing collar, it increases line tension. The tension spikes are recorded in real time on the permanent job log so the operator always knows the precise tool location in relation to the tubing or casing collars. Set Packers and Plugs Without Explosives The remarkable Halliburton DPU downhole power unit eliminates the need to use explosive charges to set packers and plugs. The slow controlled force provided by an electromechanical powertrain improves setting performance for downhole equipment, such as packers, where improved element compression and a more uniform slip set are obtained.

Perforating and Cutting Services Performed with Slickline The Halliburton electronic triggering device employs slickline to run and fire perforating and cutting charges when explosives are a requirement. The triggering device also can be used to fire explosive-activated tools used to set plugs and packers. The device's redundant safety system prevents premature firing. Produce a Permanent Job Record Data recorded through the job logger can either be a printed hardcopy or stored to floppy disc as a permanent well file. The data can also be merged with data from downhole memory tool surveys to produce API quality production well logs for diagnostic or flow analysis. Even More Built in Reliability Halliburton's new wire inspection device and wire management software has prevented fishing trips and has greatly reduced lost production time caused by slickline failure. The device can be used for periodic electronic inspection to detect line abnormalities. The wire management software tracks wire usage and provides a permanent record of each line's job history, when utilizing AMS. The software provides a basis for predicting wire failures due to normal, job-related stresses, and exposure to hostile well environments.

The state-of-the-art Advanced slickline service system offered by Halliburton provides the most efficient means for precise depth correlation, setting plugs and packers, perforating, and producing high quality memory production logs. Advanced Slickline Service System This system provides services traditionally performed by e-line services, but with slickline. Save With Halliburton Advanced Slickline Services You can substantially save on your electric line costs for comparable services with Halliburton's Advanced slickline technology. And the Halliburton wire inspection device in conjunction with wire management software can cut the costs of traditional slickline services by significantly reducing the potential for line breaks.

DPU Downhole Power Unit


Halliburtons DPU downhole power unit is an electromechanical downhole electric power supply device that produces a linear force for setting packers using downhole electric power. The tool is self-contained with a battery unit and an electrical timer to start the setting operation. The unit consists of three functioning sections: the pressure sensing actuator, the power source, and the linear drive section. The slickline version of the DPU unit uses batteries to provide the energy to the motor and timing circuits. An electric line version without the timer, circuits, and batteries is also available. Shifts: Sliding Side-Door circulation/production devices Internal control valves Releasing mechanisms/sleeves

Note: Both slickline and e-line DPU units include conversion kits to allow the use of existing Baker setting adapter kits.
The DPU unit and attached subsurface device are run into the well on slickline or braided line. The timer initiates the operation. The setting motion is gradual and controlled (about 0.7 in./min) allowing the sealing element to conform against the casing/tubing wall and the slips to fully engage. The controlled setting motion allows the sealing element to be fully compressed. Once the setting force is reached, the DPU unit shears loose from the subsurface device and is free for removal from the well. The DPU unit is designed to help set and allow for dependable operation of downhole flow control devices, reduce well completion costs, and improve safety at the wellsite.

CollarTrak Slickline Collar Locator


The Halliburton CollarTrak slickline collar locator consists of a standard electric line collar locator, an electronic subassembly, and a magnet/drag sub-assembly. When the collar locator senses a tubing or casing collar, it signals the electronic sub-assembly, which instantaneously activates magnets in the magnet/drag assembly. The magnets increase frictional engagement to the pipe wall, creating a brief but significant increase in line tension. Halliburton's advanced measurement system detects the tension increase and sends the data signals to the data/job logger, which records it as a well-defined spike on the log. The advanced measurement system automatically and continuously compensates for line stretch, assuring log accuracy. The tool, which is powered by alkaline batteries, locates collars in up to 13 chrome pipe and in flush-joint tubing.

Advanced Measurement System (AMS)


The electronic advanced measurement system (AMS) measures tension and depth, compensates for wire stretch and temperature effects on the measuring wheel, and reports a corrected depth reading. This model of the AMS system is designed to be mounted inside a wireline operator cabin. Other features also help improve the quality of a service job. A differential load indicator indicates small changes in pickup weight. Digital displays can be switched between English and metric measurements at any time. The approaching surface alarm warns the operator as the tools near the surface. The excessive tension function works with the hydraulic system to limit the maximum line tension to an adjustable preset value. The system allows the operator to input a rig-up angle for accurate line tension readings. When used with a Halliburton two-wheel counter with a universal measuring wheel, the AMS gives accurate depth readings for any size wire, in English or metric, without changing wheels. This model has digital and analog displays with switch input controls and RS-232 output for data acquisition with a laptop computer. Panel AMS will not work with IS (Class 1 Division 2) counter. This system requires an electronic strain gauge load sensor and an optical encoder.

SmartETD System
The Halliburton SmartETD system is an advanced electronic triggering device that provides an accurate, safe, and reliable method to run and fire downhole explosive tools using slickline. With its built-in sensor and memory capabilities, it can record and store downhole temperature and pressure data that can be used by the slickline specialists to program firing parameters. The SmartETD tool requires four parameters to be met prior to firing. These are time, motion, pressure, and temperature. The timing sequence begins when the tool is exposed to pressure. After the tool stops, any motion resets the electronic timer. After the SmartETD timer has remained motionless for a specific period of time and has simultaneously encountered the preset temperature and pressure windows, it initiates the firing sequence. The SmartETD tool will fire the Halliburton RED rig environment detonator, as well as API RP-67-compliant devices.

Computing center analysis of the MPL data reveals that the bottom set of perforations is producing mostly water and only 2% of the total oil production and 6% of the gas. Remedial work to plug off the bottom zone should decrease water production and reduce water disposal costs without greatly affecting hydrocarbon production.

LineTrak Slickline Inspection Device and Wire Management Program


The Halliburton LineTrak slickline inspection device spots problems that simply would be impossible for even a veteran slickline technician to detect. The device is used to provide continuous inspection of the entire line not just selected areas and provides inspection of both in-service lines as well as new lines as it is spooled. Wire Management Program In addition to periodic inspections for line abnormalities, a permanent record of each lines job history, when utilizing Halliburtons AMS advanced measurement system and the JobTrak data logger, provide a basis for predicting line failures due to normal job-related stresses and exposure to hostile well environments. Wire inspections have become an integral component of Halliburtons extensive Wire Management Programa program designed to prevent on-the-job failures. The LineTrak slickline inspection device spots problems before they cause downhole line failure. The following are examples of problems detected by the LineTrak device.

During inspection, the slickline travels through a coil matched to its size. A high-frequency, low-power alternating current running through the coil produces an alternating magnetic field which generates an electric current, or eddy current, in the slickline. Any changes or discontinuities in the slicklines conductivity affects the eddy current, changing the coils impedance. The inspection device detects the impedance change. Pass-fail criteria are based on notched reference wires. Impedance changes that exceed the established limits identify line sections that require more detailed inspection or cause a line to be taken out of service. Although the LineTrak inspection device cannot guarantee you will never have another parted line, it can minimize the chances of a line failure causing a fishing job in your well.
