How it improves well intervention
The anchor-linear actuator tool is part of
the ReSOLVE iX* extreme-performance
instrumented wireline intervention service.
Whether in HPHT, deviated, restricted-access,
or sour well conditions, it provides real-time
monitoring, dynamic tool control, and verified
downhole actuation to set new standards
for success in well intervention operations.
Sensors incorporated into the ReSOLVE iX
service tools enable the engineer to monitor
tool activity and the progress of downhole
operations while responsively controlling the
tool for optimal performance. By integrating
monitoring and control, ReSOLVE iX service
eliminates the reliance on estimates and
assumptions that is typical with conventional
winch-controlled intervention methods such
as slickline. Furthermore, its actions are not
impacted by deviation or process adherence,
as each action is controlled via an intuitive
dashboard that delivers repeatable and
consistent results. The service also detects
unexpected behavior and provides insight into
downhole conditions so you can remediate
issues using the most effective solution.
Conveyance is on wireline by gravity or on
tractor in highly deviated and horizontal wells.
Linear actuator module
How the anchor and linear
actuator work
By integrating the anchor and linear actuator
modules, ReSOLVE iX service reliably applies
controlled axial force to well components.
The linear actuator can be combined with
the ReSOLVE iX service smart shifting tool;
slickline tools; and any third-party shifting,
pulling, and interface tools.
The anchor module opens with the industry’s
largest expansion, spanning nearly 3 in
[7.62 cm] from the tool OD to the tubing. Up
to 50,000 lbf [222,411 N] of anchoring force is
precisely applied by the innovative low-stress
anchor grips that minimize impact on the tubing
and ensure linear force application. Once
anchoring is confirmed to surface by ReSOLVE
iX service’s real-time measurements, the linear
actuator module can be extended or retracted
multiple times as necessary to apply a large,
controlled force of up to 16,000 lbf [71,171 N]
to a specific well component. Continuous
measurements of displacement and applied
force validate completion of the operation.
What it replaces
Conventional winch-operated slickline tools
do not collect or use downhole measurements
within an in-tool hierarchal control ecosystem.
ReSOLVE iX service’s seamless integration
of the anchor and linear actuator modules
resolves this gap to improve operational
efficiency, reduce operational risks, and
remove need of a jar.
Furthermore, it’s integration with the
TuffTRAC iX tractor makes its application
possible in deviated sections of the well where
downward actions become uncertain or access
becomes impossible due to gravity.

Anchor module
ReSOLVE iX service integrates the anchor, linear actuator, and smart shifting tool.
How it improves well intervention
The ReSOLVE iX* extreme-performance
instrumented wireline intervention service
provides reliable shifting via an anchor,
linear actuator, and smart shifting tool (SST).
Whether in HPHT, deviated, restricted access,
or sour well conditions, these instrumented
tools provide real-time monitoring, dynamic
tool control, and verified downhole actuation
to set new standards for success in well
intervention operations. Sensors incorporated
in the ReSOLVE iX service tools enable the
engineer to monitor tool activity and the
progress of downhole operations while
responsively controlling the tool for optimal
performance. By integrating monitoring and
control, ReSOLVE iX service eliminates reliance
on estimates and assumptions that is typical
with conventional surface wireline mechanical
tension and electrical power-controlled
intervention methods.
Reliable latching in any well is made possible
by detecting diameter changes, and shifting
is confirmed by measuring shifting force vs.
the shifting displacement valve fingerprint.
The service also detects unexpected behavior
and provides insight into downhole conditions
so you can remediate issues using the most
effective solution.
Conveyance is on wireline by gravity or on
tractor in highly deviated and horizontal wells.
How it works
By integrating the anchor, linear actuator,
and SST modules, ReSOLVE iX service
reliably applies controlled axial force to well
components. Since the SST’s keys can be
closed and opened on command and the
linear actuator is bidirectional, it can achieve
Linear actuator module
multiple shifts in any direction in a single run,
whether to a single component or multiple
components in multizone completions.
First, the SST is used to seek the shifting
profile by applying low pressure to the shifting
keys, navigating through internal diameter
changes. This movement can be generated
by a wireline winch, a wireline tractor, or a
linear actuator with the tool anchored. The
anchor module opens with the industry’s
largest expansion, spanning nearly 3 in [5 cm]
as standard from the tool OD to the tubing.
Up to 50,000 lbf [222,411 N] of anchoring
force is precisely applied on surface command
by the innovative low-stress anchor grips
that minimize impact on the tubing while
maximizing traction. Once the shifting profile
is latched and anchoring is confirmed to
surface by ReSOLVE iX service’s real-time
measurements, the linear actuator can be
extended or retracted multiple times as
necessary to apply the required, controlled
force of up to 16,000 lbf [71,171 N] to a specific
well component. Continuous measurements
of displacement and applied force validate
completion of the operation.
In addition to the measurements made by
the linear actuator module, the SST provides
the profile key radial force, which is fully
controllable and adjustable. The SST can
also be used as a profilometer, providing
a qualitative profile of the completions
geometry. These measurements provide real-
time positive confirmation that a device has
been effectively shifted.
During conveyance in the well, the tool’s keys
are fully retracted, remaining closed to keep
the tool OD at 21/8 in.

How it improves well intervention
The rotary and milling tool component
of ReSOLVE iX* extreme-performance
instrumented wireline intervention service
enables regaining well access without
introducing potentially formation-damaging
fluids into the well. Whether in HPHT,

MillOptimizer system
How it works
ReSOLVE iX service rotary and milling tool
mills through debris, scale buildups, tubing
restrictions, and any downhole obstruction.
The TuffTRAC iX tractor is seamlessly integrated
to autonomously drive the toolstring forward
and resist rotation while the milling tool’s
rotating bit engages the obstruction.
Unlike when deploying conventional
uninstrumented milling tools, the engineer
is fully informed of the tool’s performance
status through real-time monitoring while
dynamically controlling the bit speed and
weight on bit (WOB). The MillOptimizer milling
system autonomously adjusts the WOB to
achieve a particular torque. Bit torque and
WOB are constantly monitored to guide
adjusting the WOB to maintain a constant bit
speed. Through the MillOptimizer system’s
coordinated control, the tractor and milling
tool operate as a single intelligent robotic
system to maximize milling efficiency. Bit
stalling is also minimized and immediately
detected by the MillOptimizer system, which
autonomously controls WOB and can stop
the tool, disengaging the milling target by
reversing the bit and the tractor, and then
resumes milling autonomously.
ReSOLVE iX service milling capabilities are
easily configurable to adapt to all potential
downhole conditions. The wide variety of milling
bits and accessories has been engineered and
qualified to suit any well configuration and

quantities of debris can be circulated out of
the wellbore by flowing from the surface using

unconsolidated debris can be bailed in vertical
sections using slickline-conveyed hydrostatic

in which a wireline debris removal tool is the
most appropriate technology.

debris removal at specific completion elements
instead of in the general vicinity, resulting in
operational time saving.
During operations, the instrumented toolstring
provides real-time monitoring, dynamic tool
control, and verified downhole actuation to set
new standards for success in well intervention
operations. Sensors incorporated in the
ReSOLVE iX service tools enable the engineer
to monitor tool activity and the progress of
downhole operations while responsively
controlling the tool for optimal performance.
By integrating monitoring and control of the
modular PCP, the active debris removal tool
of ReSOLVE iX service saves trips and time by
knowing exactly when to pull out of hole. It
also eliminates the reliance on estimates and
assumptions that is typical with conventional
turbine-powered debris removal tools.
A novel approach to wellbore
debris removal
The active debris removal tool efficiently
vacuums wellbore debris to enable access for
further intervention or tractor conveyance.
It uses a powerful downhole PCP to generate
localized circulation of the wellbore fluid
for collecting settled and cohesive debris.
Bailers remove solids from the flow through
a combination of open bailing and filtration.
A check valve embedded in the bottom nose
traps debris to eliminate the risk of debris loss
as the toolstring is recovered to surface.
The bailer system includes a system of filters,
traps, and valves for capturing and retaining
collected debris, with these elements uniquely
packaged to leverage the continuous higher-
pressure pumping capability and increase the
volume of recovered debris per run. Viscous
slurries and large solids are captured using a
check valve in the lower stage of the bailers,
and fine solids are captured using coaxial
filters in the upper stage of the bailers. This
staged approach enables the active debris
removal tool to collect a wide variety of debris
in a single run.
In addition to collection circulation for the
debris removal, the pump can be reversed and
operated in a high-pressure washing function
in the same run. This capability makes it
possible to unblock the bailer intake or stir up
settled debris as needed. It can also be used
to free the toolstring if it becomes buried in
debris and close the bottom nose check valve
to securely recover collected debris.

Pressure
The real-time measurement capability of ReSOLVE iX service during debris removal operations
enables operators to detect when the bailers are clogged or full to appropriately adjust the
pumping rate, initiate jetting, or work the toolstring. The result is optimized collection efficiency
and operational time savings.
ReSOLVE iX service’s active debris removal capabilities are easily configurable to adapt to all
potential downhole conditions. The combination of PCP suction power with a wide variety of
bailers and bottom noses ensures a best fit for various downhole debris conditions, from loose
to cohesive debris and settled on any surface.
What it replaces
Conventional debris removal tools do not collect or use downhole measurements within an in-tool
hierarchal control ecosystem. ReSOLVE iX service’s active debris removal tool resolves this gap to
improve operational efficiency and reduce operational risks:
■ Effective collection is accelerated by allowing the PCP to pump at higher rpm.
■ The service quality of prolonged debris removal operations is augmented through the
engineer’s full awareness of tool status.
■ Operational risk is reduced through advanced diagnostics that trigger tool hardware protection
actions for temperature, and overcurrent, based on real-time data rates that are unachievable
with conventional tools. The head-voltage stabilization controller adjusts the surface power
supply to prevent voltage spikes to the downhole tool and overvoltage occurring.
What else I should know
ReSOLVE iX service’s cleanout application capabilities are easily configurable to adapt to all
potential downhole conditions. The wide variety of bailers and bottom noses ensures a best fit for
