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

The sixth module covers basic wireline tool safety. Nothing is more important when working on a rig than safety. This module stresses the importance of good communication and double checking, and how awareness is the key to avoiding incident or injury. Also, why radioactive tools and explosive tools have their own set of stringent rules is shown. Finally, along with the risk of static electricity and fluid and pressure testing tools, the extreme dangers of H2S gas is explained and how simple safety steps can save lives.

Module Objectives

• Basic wireline tool safety
• Specific safety procedures associated with hazardous tools
