Basic Safety Concern During Slickline Job
 Permit to Work.

 Toolbox talk prior to starting the job.(JSA & HIRCA)

 Be aware of heavy lifting to and from truck / transport during

mobilization, rigging up and demobilization of slickline unit.

 Do not walk around or under suspended load.

 Do not walk under, over or touch the wire at anytime during the
operations.

 Keep safe distance from the wire, safety barrier should always ON
between the unit to the wellhead.
Special precautions
 For H2S well operations, be aware of wind directions by looking
at the windsock. BA set must be worn at anytime during bleeding
off the pressure, and disconnecting connections at the wellhead
and lubricator.

For any
y doubt should always
y ask and check with Unit Supervisor
p
/ person incharge of the operations.

Regular check and maintenance for the unit and other

equipments.

Other safety precaution refer to any specific / simultaneous

operations such as working with the rig, pumping unit, welltesting
unit, etc.
Slickline is a method for performing functions in
the wellbore while containing the wellbore
pressures. Some functions are, installing and
retrieving plugs, bailing sand, recording bottom
hole pressures, and changing out gas lift valves.
 Circular cross sectional slickline

 Most common sizes are

0.092”,0.108” and 0.125”

 Different materials depending on

well conditions

 History of Slickline

 First developed in the

1930’s
 Hand powered - wells were
very shallow then.
 Used to determine depth of
well.
 Trucks being built for this specific
service

 Pulley on rear axle of the vehicle

 No weight indicators were used

 The operator felt the tension with

his hand

 Hydraulic units we know were

developed in the 1970’s
 Our Slickline Units

 ASEP 100hp unit  Dynawell truck unit

 Double drums  Double drums 0.125” & 3-1/16”

mono wire
0.108” & .125” wire
 Crane mounted
 Compressor
 Compressor
During Well Testing

 Tubing checks ( Gauge Cutter )

 Pressure testing ( Plugs )

 TCP systems ( Drop bar / Gun Drop System )

 Samplers ( Bottom hole sampler / Bailer )

 Data acquisition ( Down hole gauges )

 Quick operation
During Completion

 Tubing checks ( Gauge Cutter )

 Pressure testing (Plugs )

 Zone/reservoir isolation ( Sliding side doors )

 TCP systems (Drop bar / Gun Drop System )

 Sub Surface Safety Valves ( Install and Retrieval )

During Production

 Monitoring ( Down hole gauges )

 Scale and paraffin control ( Star Bit / Parafine cutter )
 Gas lift operations ( Install and retrieve Gas lift and dummy
valve )
Wellhead Equipment

 Standard rig up

 Well maintenance, remedial work and

safety functions are accomplished
under pressure in the wellbore.

 Purpose - allows a “toolstring” to run

and pull tools and equipment into and
out of the wellbore on a small diameter
wire
BOP (Blow Out Preventer)

 BOP’s - known also as wireline

valve
 Must be included in all rig ups
 Emergency barrier that isolates
the well without cutting the wire
 Compulsory Hydraulic triple
rams for Gas wells.
 Lubricator

 Service ( H2S and Standard )

 Pressure rating ( color codes )

 Normal rig up is 3 to 4 sections

 All Tool string should fit into the

lubricator.

 We use light weight lubricators.

Stuffing Box
 Ensure sealing of moving or
stationary slickline

 Seals using V packing or cylinder

packing

 Hydraulic packing nut incase

seals are leaking - compresses

 Blow out Plunger

 Sheave guard
Pump-In Sub

The Pump-In Sub is typically installed

below the wireline valve. This allows
access for pumping fluids into the wellbore
during slickline operations.
 Weight Measuring Device
 Attached to the tree with a
certified sling or Chain.
 Sheave attached to Load cell
forming a 90 degree angle
 Heavy duty hose carries the
pressure generated to the weight
indicator
 Completely sealed hydraulic
system
 Dynawell and ASEP integrated
the cell to the measuring device
 Basic Toolstring Components

 Service Tools

Service Tools are attached to the bottom of the

Tubing Tubing
Gauge Swage
Slickline Tool String. Service Tools perform the
y tasks to complete
necessary p the jjob objective.
j The
job objective may require only one tool to be used
such as tagging bottom or it may require several
tools, each with their own task such as a running
tool to set a downhole device and the pulling to

Fishing retrieve the downhole device.

Wire Grap Tool
Gauge Cutter
It is recommended to run a Gauge Cutter first to ensure
that the required depth can be reached and that the
tubing ID is clear.

A gauge cutter is often used to remove minor scale or salt

deposits and light paraffin build-up from the tubing ID.

A properly selected tubing gauge of the correct size and

length can be used to determine if there are any restrictions
that will prevent other tools or downhole devices from
passing through.
Tubing Swage

The Tubing Swage is often used to re-open

minor restrictions that have been caused by
mechanical damage to the tubing.
Impression Tool

The Impression Tool (commonly called an

impression block) is used primarily in fishing
operations.

The tool is lowered into the well to the top of the

fish. One light to moderate downward stroke of
the jars is usually sufficient enough to obtain an
impression in the soft lead face. This impression
is then used to determine the type of tool
necessary for the next step in the fishing
operation.
Bottom View
Blind Box

The Blind Box is used to dislodge and

drive down obstructions in the tubing.

The Blind Box is often used to cut

the Slickline off the Rope Socket
during fishing operations.
Wire Grab

The Wire Grab is commonly used to catch and

retrieve Slickline that has been balled-up.

The wire grab has been used successfully in

retrieving trash from the tubing such as rubber
elements, broken springs, and other such
debris that can become entangled in the barbs.
Tubing
Broach

This illustration is a “Tapered

Broach” removing tubing scale.
Broach scale
Magnetic Fishing tool

The magnet fishing tool is practicable for

removing small pieces of ferrous metal
that may be resting on top of a fish
preventing the fish from being latched.
Tubing End Locator

The Tubing End Locator is used to locate the

end of the tubing.
g That depth
p measurement
can then be used as an accurate reference
point to relate Tubing Measurements back to
Slickline Measurements.
Sand Bailer

The Sand Bailer, often referred to as the

“Pump Bailer” can be used to remove
sand or other similar debris from the top of
a sub surface device which may be
preventing recovery of the device by
regular slickline operations.
