Camesa's service centers provide useful knowledge and insight, as they have unparalleled first-hand experience trouble-shooting and servicing a variety of cable issues. This technical bulletin offers advice on extending cable life and maintaining the best possible cable performance of your wireline operations.
The most important step in improving cable life is seasoning your cable. Wireline cables are most susceptible to damage during their first few runs into and out of a well. This damage can affect cable performance over the life of the line, so getting the first few runs right is paramount to improving cable life overall. This technical information tells you how.
In an attempt to inform our customers of operational trends or potential dangers that adversely affect their wireline operations, Camesa has issued the following technical alert to inform customers of a known hazard that has resulted in damaged cables during field operations.
This article is the first in a series that will outline how engineers at Camesa systematically examine damaged wireline cables and shed light on the telltale clues that help them diagnose how a cable has failed.
This second part of our series on forensic analysis of wireline failures focuses on looking for mechanical damage mainly on the outer surfaces of the armor protecting the wireline cable. Mechanical damage could be due to factors overlooked during operations or improper handling. This mostly affects the outer or inner armor wires causing reduced strength or wire breakage leading to cable failures.
This article describes the phenomenon known as Adabiatic Heating and its effect on wireline.
This document outlines recommended best practices for your wireline use throughout its field life as well as an example maintenance schedule. While this is just a guideline, these tips, if incorporated into your own maintenance procedures, should promote longer wireline life and reduce the risk of cable issues or failures during working conditions.
