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

This next Wireline module begins with an introduction to Wireline logging and what Wireline itself is. Then a history of the wireline is given, showing some of the earliest advances made using this century old technique. And how, thanks to Earle Halliburton, wireline technology pushed forward along with the logging tools. Formation evaluation is then defined, and how formations can be examined for potential profitability. Lastly, as the tools provide the foundation, this module shows what can be achieved.

Module Objectives

• Define and describe Wireline Logging
• Present a brief history of wireline logging
• Describe the different types of wireline logging and their uses
• Describe formation evaluation and its importance
