Advancing Slickline Today

Issue #68 of the Halliburton Slickline Newletter Date 12/2011

The dawn of a new era.

By: David Larimore, Global Operations and Product Manager

For many years Halliburton’s Slickline personnel and training programs have been considered the best in
the business. Training and development of our personnel has been and will remain paramount to our
growth and success going forward. To continue this strategy and to enhance further integration of our
product lines, we have successfully completed the move of the Slickline training center in Carrollton,
Texas to the Ft. Worth learning center. The new Slickline facility and recompleted training well is adjacent
to the Cased Hole learning center. This was an important step towards bringing Slickline, Cased Hole,
and TCP training programs together in one location, thereby, furthering our personnel development
initiatives towards the Integrated Cased Hole (ICH) business model. This move will be beneficial to both
students coming through the Ft. Worth training center and the instructors to better understand each of the
ICH products and services and facilitate cross-PSL training initiatives. We have already completed one
two week SL I course and a 3 day customer workshop for BP in the new slickline training center and have
another SL I school scheduled in December. The full 2012 SL training schedule has been completed and
will be available on Halliburton University for enrollment.
Slickline has three training centers: one located in Montrose,
Scotland, another located in New Iberia, Louisiana and now
our third located in Ft. Worth, Texas. Our instructors are
Scotty Jamieson and Jeff Ross in Montrose; Gary Wellbrock
in New Iberia; and our newest member to the training staff
Allan Fraser in Ft. Worth. Each instructor will continue in the
tradition of bringing unmatched energy, enthusiasm, and a
sincere dedication to developing the best slickline
professionals with a focus on HSE, Service Quality, and
applied technology. The instructors have spent a First SL I School in Ft. Worth - Students from
around the world.
considerable amount of time this year updating and
standardizing our SL training programs across the training centers and developing new tools to facilitate
the learning process.
The new Ft. Worth Slickline training center is
state of the art providing full service
mechanical intervention and production
logging training capabilities. The center
includes brand new classroom and lab area
for hands-on tool training. The training well
has a 4-1/2” and 5-1/2” tubing completion to
about 1300 feet and includes various landing
nipples, gas lift side pocket mandrel, sliding
side door, and injection sub for injecting air for
memory production logging surveys. Training

plugs. For well site training hands-on training, the training center includes the following:

· Pressure control stack with hydraulic pack off control and grease injection control head for
slickline and braided line training.
· Integrated Cased Hole containerized skid with new AMS 95 depth panel, well control panel, and
dual drum with .125” slickline and 7/32” dycam braided line (also accommodates 7/32” eline).
· Flow skid for circulating fluid from tubing to annulus or vice versa and air compressor for injecting
air into the tubing during production logging surveys.

The update slickline training modules in 2012 will emphasize our applied learning philosophy and will
include:

· Slickline Applied Learning Program (6 months),

· Slickline I ( 2 weeks)
· Slickline II ( 2 Weeks)
· Wireline Fishing (1 Week)
· Completions for Slickline (1 week)
· DPU and Associated Equipment (1 week planned)

University.
Safety Moment.
The year-end holiday season is rapidly approaching. Historically, work place injuries and near misses
increase during this time. Employees may have their minds on upcoming holiday festivities, vacation,
gatherings with family and friends or other things that could add an element of distraction.

Another rise in incidents commonly occurs in January after the holidays. It is imperative we help each
other out and look out for each other. We must keep safety on the forefront of our minds. In doing this, we
are helping to create a safer work environment. The following suggested focus areas are highlighted in an
effort to prove the statistics wrong.

· Dropped Objects.
· Hand and Finger Safety.
· Driving safety
· Stop Work Authority

Slick Tip.
As we continue to strive to meet our goals of Zero NPT and Distinctive Service Quality, it is imperative
that we utilize all the tools and resources available and never more so, when it comes to selecting and
monitoring our means of conveyance, our Slickline. Not only should we be considering our material
composition for well environments, but also managing our wire throughout its life. Using the real time
“Wire Management” software within our AMS systems is the most effective means of doing so. The
software is the best tool we have available to monitor useful life, to mitigate risks from fatigue or failure.

Some key points to keep in mind:

· Running a Cerberus model prior to the job taking place, especially in deviated and deep
conditions.
· Utilizing our AMS and Two Wheel Counter systems.
· Maintaining line tension whilst running in hole and not overriding the toolstring weight.
· Sufficient lubrication of wire whilst running in hole.
· Monitoring load cell functionality especially when temperature fluctuation is evident.
· Conducting frequent Eddy Current inspections of Slickline.

If a failure is experienced it is of the upmost importance that all pertinent information is gathered to allow
an investigation and wire analysis to be conducted. The Slickline Operations Manual section SL 1.7 “Wire
Failure Procedure” has a comprehensive guide and lists the details of all that’s required when returning a
sample for investigation. It is important that as much detail as possible be entered into the CPI along with
wire logs, job logs and Wire Management files from AMS. With all this information in hand and samples
as described in the Operations manual, this will assist us expedite the findings of the failure.

One of the projects the group has been working on this year is the development of the DPU set
tubing/casing patch. The first product being developed is the 4 ½” patch, this prototype has already been
set and tested in the lab to 4000psi internally and 4000psi externally. This product family will grow in 2012
to cover a range of weights and sizes including 3 ½” and 5 ½” solutions.

4 ½” High Expansion Gauge Hanger.

The 4 ½” High Expansion Gauge Hanger has been completed and the first
prototypes are in the process of being shipped to Saudi Arabia for first
commercial application.

The gauge hanger is a 1.8” OD tool that has the ability to expand into 11.6#
through 13.5# liner or casing. The lower connection gives the ability to hang
memory gauges, fluid samplers etc in the well bore during well testing. The
slow, controlled, soft set of the DPU also reduces the chances of
inadvertently damaging gauges during the setting process. This product line
will also expand in 2012 with the 5 ½” and 7” following shortly.

Alaska DPU Services grow year on year.
Robert McDaniel’s team in Alaska has been working hard on growing our DPU services up the North Slope, and the
numbers speak for themselves. In 2009 the operation was running around 17 jobs a year; however 2011 YTD has seen
that activity increase to 48 runs. James Weimer and Eli Wilson have played key roles in maintaining tool reliability and
continuing to increase activity. Not only has there been a steady increase in total number of runs, but the operating
efficiency is almost flawless at around 98%. A great example of our people and differentiating technologies raising the bar.
