LIVE Act Digital Slickline Mechanical Services

LIVE Act digital slickline mechanical services increase the quality and safety of conventional slickline operations such as gauge cutter runs, drift runs, pulling and setting subsurface safety valves (SSVs), etc. Gas lift valve installation, for instance, can be monitored and promptly checked for possible leakage or malfunction.

In addition to accurate depth determination with gamma ray and casing collar locator (CCL), advanced sensors provide real-time surface readout (SRO) of downhole head tension, shock, and deviation. The increased knowledge of downhole toolstring status is extremely useful when abnormal or unexpected events occur, especially in deviated wells and during jarring or fishing. In addition, it is used to refine operating procedures to better match the well conditions and for improved assessment of the results. The success of the job can be confirmed while still in the hole. The following tools are exclusive to the LIVE mechanical services:

D-Jar digital downhole adjustable jar

LIVE Act technology is able to measure tension at the head of the toolstring, and the D-Jar digital downhole adjustable jar is electrically released based on that measurement. This brings unprecedented efficiency, flexibility, and control to jarring operations, reducing the stress on the line. Each stroke is initiated and monitored from the surface.

D-Rel digital downhole release tool

The D-Rel tool permits a controlled separation of toolstring head and tool assembly, leaving a standard internal and external fishing profile downhole.
