Advanced Slickline Operations

Introduction

For a complete knowledge of the wellbore and completion components, a detailed explanation of down-hole components as they relate to wireline is required.

Targeted Groups

• Those who will do slickline operations.
• Service agents who want to learn more about wireline operations
• People in design and engineering

Course Objectives

• Give a thorough explanation of slickline operations.
• Emphasize the pressure management and slickline's crucial components.
• Learn how a variety of wireline tools work and how to utilize them.
• Use a "hands-on" method of instruction when learning at a workshop.
• To ensure a thorough grasp of downhole operation, use cutaway tools.
• Learn how to use the wired device well.
• Discover how to successfully design a wireline operation.
• Establish a forum for inquiries and dialogue.
