Course Overview

The Wireline course offers detailed insight into what Wireline is and what it is used for. This course has been dynamically structured to promote the easy learning of some of the most complex techniques in oilfield drilling. Students of this course will not be taught to only memorize definitions and terms, but will be shown why certain tools and techniques are used. This allows for a deeper understanding of the material, and better overall course quality. This course will show how Wireline developed along with the tools and technology that are utilized by engineers all around the world. Students are also made aware of proper tool handling techniques to insure the safety of not only themselves, but of all those around them making a more productive and profitable work place. We understand that effectively building confidence in the way students properly and safely handle tools will pay off almost immediately.

Module Overview

How does an Open-hole become a Cased hole, and what are the different functions that cased hole tools can perform? These are some of the topics discussed in this Wireline module. As well as how the Halliburton CAST can help monitor casing integrity, which enables the borehole to remain stable and producing. Next, how cased hole tools and software tools can be used to make models of cumulative downhole mechanical and hydraulic forces. Also, how these software tools can help develop intervention programs that truly address production issues.

Module Objectives

• What a cased hole tool is
• The types of cased-hole tools
• What cased-hole tools are used for
