COURSE OVERVIEW

 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. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Slickline Well Intervention. It covers the importance of slickline well intervention in the oil and gas industry; the types of well intervention and the comparison between slickline, wireline and coiled tubing operations; the basic principles, applications and components of a slickline system; the personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, hazard identification, risk assessment ad emergency response procedures; the wellhead components, pressure control equipment (PCE) and blowout preventer (BOP); and the basic slickline tools and their functions including of jars, pulling tools and running tools. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the tool selection criteria based on well conditions; the memory gauges, depth control, mechanical setting tools and explosive and non-explosive cutting tools; the detailed step-by-step procedures for common slickline operations and running and retrieving subsurface control devices; assembling a tool string for various operations; handling and maintaining slickline tools; the types of wires and cables used in slickline operations; and handling, spooling and maintaining slickline cables. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the common operational challenges in slickline interventions and proper troubleshooting techniques and best practices; the advanced techniques in perforating with slickline, safety considerations and operational procedures; setting and retrieving plugs and packers and fishing operations; using slickline for well integrity checks; the common diagnostics tools and techniques; the logging and data acquisition, assembly and disassembly of tool strings and best practices for tool handling and maintenance; the simulated slickline operations, pressure control equipment handling and safety drills and emergency response; planning a slickline intervention job from start to finish; preparing job safety analysis (JSA) and operational procedures; the best practices and industry standards; and adhering to regulatory and company guidelines.
