Slickline Operations Course : 10 Days

Note : A 5 day option of this course is available - without practical aspects.

Learning Objectives

• Provide a full understanding of slickline operations.

• Highlight the critical aspects of slickline and the pressure control.

• Learn the function and use of a wide range of wireline tools.

• Utilise a “hand-on” approach to learning in a workshop.

• Use cutaway tools to ensure a complete understanding of downhole operation.

• Becomeproficientintheoperationofthewirelineunit.

• Learn the “job planning” aspects of a successful wireline operation.

• Provide a venue for questions and discussion.

Who should attend• Personnel who will be carrying out slickline operations.

• Well Service personnel with a need to know more about wireline operations.

• Design and engineering personnel

Shortened 5 day option

• Well completions design and supervisory personnel

• Managers/supervisors - with a need to know more about wireline operations.

• Logistics, planning and support personnel.

Venue : Vause Training Centre New Plymouth, NZ (VTC) or clients choice of location*

Prerequisites : Somefieldexposuretowirelineandwellserviceoperationsandaprior

knowledge of well completions is an advantage for the 10 day course.

Support material Course presented in powerpoint with multi media animations, video clips and movies.

The TTC Slickline Operations Training manual is also used as courses reference.

VTC: Fully equipped class, workshop, cutaway tool demonstrator and 1000 ft well.

Course descriptionThe 10 day Slickline operations course covers Slickline Operations, Pressure Control, Downhole tools and surface equipment use and limitations. Participants consolidate the classroom theory with practical sessions in a fully equipped workshop.

Knowledge gained is then applied to learn the process of stripping and redressing tools as well as setting up actual cutaways, operated by a surface hand wince, so that the tool operation can be observed. This assists with future “visualization” of tool actions from the surface.

Detailed Contents

This 10 day course is aimed at practical field operations with “in-depth” to ensure full understanding of the tool operation, redress and maintenance.

Well Completions Brief description of down hole components as related to wireline, to ensure a good overall understanding of the wellbore and completion components

Xmas Trees Types of trees; single, dual, composite, solid block.

Wireline History and development Use and limitations of wireline. Wire types and strengths.

Wireline Units Design, function and operating procedures Surface equipment: Pressure control equipment. - stuffing boxes, lubricators, BOP’s

Braided line equipment Grease Injection systems for braided line operations

Pressure Testing Test Procedures and safety precautions

Toolstring Components Rope sockets - knot, no knot and braided Stem - sizes, selecting correct amount. Jars - mechanical, hydraulic, spring, accelerators Knuckle joints, swivels.

Final written exam Final discussion and review of course and revisiting initial objectives Issue of course certificates

General :

Each day will start with discussion of prior days activities, question and answers, then written test on topics covered.

Questions are encouraged at all times
