Omega 1.75” OD Memory Camera

Description/ Application
The Omega Downhole Memory Camera enables operators
to deploy a camera system via Slickline in a cost effective
manner.
No requirement for either E-Line equipment/ personnel or
any other specialized equipment commonly required with
alternative systems, greatly enhances both the flexibility
and value of Omega’s Memory Camera.
Obtaining images of a wellbore obstruction or wireline fish,
allows operators to fully understand what they are actually
up against. Validating the downhole issues can help
determine the best course of action, increasing the
likelihood of a successful intervention whilst reducing the
operator’s overall intervention risk and associated costs.
As the tool is fully programmable at the well site, the
operator can decide when the camera will start capturing
images, the time duration between each image being
captured and also the total amount of images to be
captured. A maximum of 1000 images can be recorded
and subsequently downloaded using a laptop and
Omega’s camera software. The images can then be saved
to CD and/or emailed from location.
Compact design allows for the Omega camera to be
deployed when rig up heights are restrictive.

Camera Lens Cleaning

The Camera Lens is protected by a two piece sapphire
front port. It has two distinct areas, the camera lens
view port and the LED light ring port. A metal
separator with a sealing arrangement forms a barrier
between the two areas. A snap ring retains the front
port into the camera module housing.
The camera front port should be cleaned using a
cotton swab soaked in an alcohol based cleaning
solution that does not leave residue, see photograph
30.
Photograph 2
Important: It is crucial that the camera viewing port is
not obstructed, contaminated or damaged prior to
deployment. All these factors greatly reduce the likely
hood of gaining good quality images.

Powering up and connecting the

Camera
To gain access to the cameras battery unit the top sub
Photograph 3 needs to be removed. Hold the camera via the camera
mandrel using the flat areas as a gripping point. Using
either a firm hand grip or chain grips near the top of

APPENDIX I

WARNING!
LITHIUM BATTERIES CONTAINED IN EQUIPMENT

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING THE OMEGA DOWNHOLE MEMORY CAMERA
This information should only be used if your company has no procedure for dealing with Lithium Batteries.

If you suspect that a lithium battery has been damaged either in transit or through use contact Omega Completion
Technology Immediately for advise on Tel No: +44 (0)1224 772744

Lithium batteries if damaged can pose a serious threat to human health and to the environment. The main hazards are
through rupturing and puncturing of the battery, as well as the venting of gas from the battery and explosion of the battery.
Any of these incidents could result in exposure of corrosive substances and formation of toxic gases. A battery explosion
could cause shrapnel injury and start a Lithium fire.
DO NOT
Short circuit the battery, attempt to charge the battery, force over discharge the battery, expose the battery to heat or
humidity, or attempt to incinerate the battery, do not use excessive force on or subject the battery to a high mechanical shock
or vibration. Do not attempt to dispose of the battery. All batteries must be returned to Omega for proper disposal in
accordance with HSE guidelines.
ACTIONS
There are two obvious signs that a battery has vented inside the Camera, these are:
• Heat or hot spots on the Camera Housing
• Excessive force behind the threads. (If detected do not attempt to unscrew any further).
If you suspect that the battery has been damaged downhole, use caution when retrieving to surface. If the battery has been
exposed to the well is should have reacted with the well fluid and effectively become inert. However, if the battery was not
exposed there is still a danger of explosion. Keep the battery in the Lubricator for 2-3 hours when pulled, this will allow the
battery to cool. During this period, ensure that the appropriate personnel are informed, and that all non-essential personnel
are kept clear of the immediate area. After this time open the Lubricator and check the Camera Housing for heat, if detected
put back into the Lubricator and leave overnight. Do not transport the tool if heat is still detected.

Use additional personal protective equipment, if available, such as respirator or B.A. set, heavy-duty rubber gloves, safety
goggles, and rubber apron. If the battery vents gas while handling, immediately put the battery down and leave the area as
quickly as possible. Ensure that other personnel in the area are also evacuated to safety. HCI and SO2 gases are sometimes
formed and these become acids when mixed with water and can attack the skin, eyes and lungs. If a Lithium fire is ignited
use only a Lith-ex or Class D extinguisher. Never use Water CO2, Dry Powder or any other type.

The best method of back-loading a damaged Camera is to place it carefully inside a section of Lubricator fitted with end
caps and filled with dry sand. If possible, beforehand, place the Camera inside a plastic bag filled with Baking Soda / Soda
Lime / Bicarbonate Sodium and ship inside a mini container. Never store any other Lithium batteries or other combustible /
explosive materials in the same container. Always store in a cool dry place.
