Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops Many of today?s most vital oilfield operations depend directly on the use of wireline. Wireline is particularly important during completion and production. Field operators can run anything from a basic downhole directional survey to the most delicate gamma ray formation log on wireline. They can fire perforating charges at precisely determined downhole locations, back off a string of stuck pipe, retrieve a wrench, or manipulate complex subsurface well pressure and flow controls. Wireline operations can be done inside the tubing without killing the well, by means of a lubricator connected to the wellhead. Operations can be carried out under pressure and even without stopping production. Further, wireline operations are performed quickly due to the use of lightweight, highly mobile equipment and run by two or three specialized operators. As a result, wireline operations can be readily implemented at relatively low cost.Wireline technology has been modernized steadily, along with significant improvements in wireline capability. During the past decades, Wireline Formation Testing has emerged as one of the critical formation evaluation means in the upstream hydrocarbon exploration activities. The wireline formation test is a quick, inexpensive means of measuring pressures at precise depths in the wellbore. Wireline tests are performed mostly in open hole using a cable-operated formation tester and sampling tool anchored at depth while reservoir communication is established through one or more pressure and sampling probes. This comprehensive and up-to-date course covers the development of wireline operations and techniques. It describes wireline equipment in details and discusses the various operations performed using such equipment including diagnostic, troubleshooting, completion and production maintenance. Further, the course covers the openhole wireline testing, the wireline sampling techniques and the drawdown & buildup mobilities from wireline testers. The course ends up with a useful demonstration of the various wireline test interpretation software.
