Subsurface Service Tools
Slickline Service Tools
Otis designed and manufactured slickline service tools have
been the benchmark for the industry and are a requirement
for all toolboxes worldwide. Known for dependable
performance and low maintenance costs, these service tools
can help reduce your total operating costs. As the original
equipment manufacturer (OEM), Halliburton continues to
provide high-quality slickline service tools.
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.

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

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.

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

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 surface-
controlled, 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
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.
Note: When used as a running tool, the
core must be long enough to allow for
upward travel after shearing the pin
before the skirt is stopped by the
equipment being run. It is this action
that permits complete release of the running tool.
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

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

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 automatic-
release 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.

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.

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.
Slickline Service Equipment 7-19
DPU

Downhole Power Unit

Halliburtons DPU downhole power unit is an electro-
mechanical 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.
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 sub-
assembly, 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.

Memory Production Logging (MPL) Service
Halliburtons memory production logging service provides
solutions to production problems with accurate flow profiles
and downhole diagnostics. Logging data is stored in
downhole memory and played back on location after the
tools are retrieved from the well. MPL can be used in
producing and injecting wells with single- or multi-phase
flow regimes.
Features
Economical in hostile environments Using slickline
minimizes the risk in CO
2
, H

S, or high-pressure
environments. Slickline wellhead pressure control
equipment simplifies rig up and operates safely and
efficiently in demanding conditions
Proven in horizontal applications MPL is deployable
on coiled tubing for highly deviated or horizontal wells
Reduced rig space requirements Small footprint and
low weight make MPL ideal for small production
platforms and mono-pod completions. MPL also
requires less surface equipment and crane height than
electric line services
Helicopter portable MPL can be run with existing
slickline equipment, avoiding the cost of mobilizing a
logging unit
Proven reliability and resolution of electric line tools
MPL string uses the same sensors as the standard electric
line tools to deliver the same accuracy and high-
resolution data
Exclusive depth indicators ensure depth accuracy AMS
advanced slickline depth measurement system or
slickline collar locator provides accurate depth control
for the MPL string, eliminating misruns and saving
valuable rig time
Tool strings customized to meet well requirements All
services can be run with a 1 second sample rate, allowing
approximately 18 hours of logging time. Sample rates as
high as 0.2 seconds can be selected for increased data
density and higher resolution
This memory production log was obtained for an operator looking to
cut high water production in a formation with a three-phase downhole
flow regime. The MPL service captures logging data on a memory
recorder. The data is equal to data obtained with electric line services.
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.
This 0.021-in. deep crack (100x magnification)
was detected in a nickel alloy wire with
1,850 cycles.
Damage on left was detected at 462 ft and on
right at 368 ft (arrow points to pit on wire) on a
nickel alloy wire.
Abrasion damage on this cobalt alloy wire was
detected before it could cause wire separation.
7-32 Slickline Service Equipment
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.
