Rig-up Equipment
Some of the Basic Equipment is also referred to as Rig-up equipment since these components allow us to Rig-up our equipment at the Well-Site and are essential to running a Wireline operation.2
Schlumberger Private

This basic sketch shows the rig-up equipment which will be discussed in this section.

SLING

Sheave Wheels
Cable from the Truck/Unit to the well.

Sheaves are pulley wheels with a grooved rim that allow the safe movement of the Wireline

Normally 2 sheaves are used in a rig-up (lower Sheave and upper Sheave)
Schlumberger Private

Different wheels are used depending upon the type of 36 in Upper Sheave (with no finger guard) cable used and the type of operation.
36 in Standard Sheave Wheels used in Heptacable Operations (mostly Open-Hole operations) {Shown above and below}.

13 in Stainless Steel wheels

Nylon composite
sheaves available for both MONOCABLE and HEPTACABLE operations

36 in Lower Sheave (with finger guard)

5 WLH-JDA-PRE-SCHOOL

used in Monocable, {Cased Hole and production operations}

June 06

Vertical Make-Up Plate (C-Plate)

There are several types depending upon the types of tools being connected.

These allow the safe connection and disconnection of Wireline Tools on the Rig-floor.

Schlumberger Private

Standard Open Hole C-plate

Heavy Duty Make-up Plate used for long and heavy toolstrings

Standard Mini C-plate used for cased-hole operations

Sheave Hangar and Wire-Sling

(Elevator side)

Sheave Hangar: Also known as a spade is used to connect between the upper sheave wheel and the Elevator of the rig.

Schlumberger Private

SLING: Safety device used to tie the Sheave hangar to the Elevators in case the elevators come open

Tie-Down Chain and Gooseneck

TIE-DOWN CHAIN

A tie-down chain is used to anchor the lower sheave to the rig superstructure. It has 5/8-in. diameter links and is available in 10-, 20- and 30-ft. lengths.

Shackles
Shackle is used to tie the Lower sheave wheel to the Tie-down Chain
Schlumberger Private

Gooseneck
The gooseneck is used to create a smooth bending radius between the cable and tool head. This prevents cable damage at the head when lifting tools from the catwalk. The longitudinal arm prevents the gooseneck from passing through the rotary table.

Multi-meter, Megger, Safety Meter

Multi-Meter [Simpson] This meter is used to measure resistance, voltage and Current. It is used to check continuity of electronic cartridges and circuits in Logging tools

Schlumberger Private

Safety Meter
These are specially designed meters to limit the current output (<25 mA). This is the ONLY meter that can be used to check EXPLOSIVES circuits.

Megger (Megohmmeter)
The Megger is designed to check electrical insulation by sending 500 or 1000 V through the system. It is used to check insulation of Cables/Heads/Adaptors [Must NEVER be used to check EXPLOSIVES or LOGGING TOOLS]
10 WLH-JDA-PRE-SCHOOL June 06

Electrical Logging Cables (The Wireline)

Logging Cables
The primary Functions of the cable are : Provide mechanical support of the down hole tools

3,Section 3

The logging cable is the basic tool required for Wireline work

Electrical Connection and communication with down hole tools

Schlumberger Private

Used mainly for OPEN HOLE Operations

There are 2 main types of cable represented by the number of wire conductors; HEPTACABLE (7 conductors shown above) and MONOCABLE (1 conductor shown right ). Within each type, there are a number variations depending upon the material used for the INSULATION and JACKET and also the treatment of the ARMOUR. These changes will give the cable different electrical and mechanical properties. You will learn to recognize the properties of the cable by its name and designation.
11 WLH-JDA-PRE-SCHOOL June 06

Used mainly for CASED HOLE & PRODUCTION Operations

Cable Identification
nomenclature:

3,Section 3

All logging cables have a standard nomenclature (naming format) that tells you the properties of the cable. It is important to use the right cable for the right type of job. Here is the

FIT and TRIM

FIT: Fast Inspection of Tool:
THREE TYPES: 1. 2. 3. FIT-1 Mechanical FIT-2 - Electrical FIT-3 Operational Check

Maintenance to be done on tools and equipment BEFORE and AFTER each job. : Cleaning, greasing, Change seals, O-rings changes, Filling oil. : Check insulation and continuity of the circuits. : Check the tool under simulated operating conditions
Schlumberger Private

TRIM : TOOL REVIEW and INSPECTION MONTHLY:

Maintenance to be done on tools and equipment every MONTH. THREE TYPES: 1. 2. 3. TRIM -1 - Mechanical TRIM -2 - Electrical TRIM -3 Master Calibration : Opening enclosed housings, checking internal seals. : Check insulation and continuity of the circuits. : Calibrates sensors according to design and then Operational Check.

NOW GO AND DO FIT AND TRIM OF THE TOOLS MAIN LOGGING TOOLS USED IN THE LOCATION
(under supervision of your Crew-Chief)
18 WLH-JDA-PRE-SCHOOL June 06

RITE Methodology
RITE: Routine Inspection of Tools and Equipment:

This is a system of procedures (METHODOLOGY) to sustain operations through preventative maintenance and product modifications. There is a RITE database program used to track all the TOOLS and Equipment in the location, their maintenance and modifications. RITE also records all the history of the jobs done by the tool and any failures that have occurred.
Schlumberger Private

SYSTEMS THAT MAKE UP RITE:

FIT and TRIM Q-Checks : detailed inspections and quality check of tools at specified intervals (usually Quarterly) Tag system to ensure that only fit and worthy tools are in operation: 1. 2. 3. Green Tag Yellow Tag Red Tag : : : Tools fit and ready to go on a job. Intermediate tags to specify things such as repaired. Equipment that has failed to function. Must be accompanied by a Failure report.
