(Elevator side)

Sheave Hangar: Also known as a spade is used to

connect between the upper sheave wheel and the
Elevator of the rig.
SLING: Safety device used to tie the
Sheave hangar to the Elevators in
case the elevators come open

Tie-Down Chain and Gooseneck

TIE-DOWN CHAIN
A tie-down chain is used to anchor the lower
sheave to the rig superstructure. It has 5/8-in.
diameter links and is available in 10-, 20- and 30ft. lengths.
Shackles
Shackle is used to tie the
Lower sheave wheel to the
Tie-down Chain

Gooseneck

The gooseneck is used to create a

smooth bending radius between the
cable and tool head. This prevents cable
damage at the head when lifting tools
from the catwalk. The longitudinal arm
prevents the gooseneck from passing
through the rotary table.

Multi-Meter [Simpson]

This meter is used to measure resistance,

voltage and Current.

It is used to check continuity of electronic
cartridges
and circuits in Logging tools
Safety Meter
These are specially designed meters to limit the current
output (<25 mA).
This is the ONLY meter that can be used to check
EXPLOSIVES circuits.

Megger
(Megohmmeter)

The Megger is designed

to check electrical
insulation by sending 500

3, section 3

Logging Cables

The logging cable is the basic tool required for

Wireline work
The primary Functions of the cable are :

Used mainly for

OPEN HOLE
Operations

Provide mechanical support of the down hole

tools
Electrical Connection and communication with
down hole tools

There are 2 main types of cable represented

by the number of wire conductors;
HEPTACABLE (7 conductors shown above)
and MONOCABLE (1 conductor shown right
).
Within each type, there are a number
variations depending upon the material used
for the INSULATION and JACKET and also
the treatment of the ARMOUR. These
changes will give the cable different electrical
and
mechanical properties.

Cable Identification

3, section 3

All logging cables have a standard nomenclature (naming format) that

tells you the properties of the cable. It is important to use the right cable
for the right type of job. Here is the nomenclature:

To connect the logging cable to the logging head
To bear the weight of the tool string
The pins provide the electrical connection to the logging
head (and
therefore the down-hole tools)

RITE Methodology

3, 5

RITE: Routine Inspection of Tools and Equipment:

This is a system of procedures (METHODOLOGY) to sustain operations through

preventative maintenance and product modifications.

There is a RITE database program used to track all the TOOLS and Equipment
in the location, their maintenance and modifications.

RITE also records all the history of the jobs done by the tool and any failures
that have occurred.

SYSTEMS THAT MAKE UP RITE:

FIT and TRIM

Q-Checks : detailed inspections and quality check of tools at specified intervals
(usually Quarterly)
Tag system to ensure that only fit and worthy tools are in operation:
1. Green Tag :

Tools fit and ready to go on a job.

2. Yellow Tag :

Intermediate tags to specify things such as repaired.

3. Red Tag
:
Equipment that has failed to function. Must be accompanied
by a Failure report.

(WRS)
WIRLINE JOB CYCLE INFORMATION:

The WRS is a platform that captures all the critical information about a job.

As an engineer, you will use the WRS system in your daily operations to
record the services and products that you have delivered to the client.
You will also use it to make the invoice ( Service Ticket) for the client
according to the contract.

The data from WRS is collected and is sent to various parts of the
Schlumberger Organization. It provides key information when
developing sales and marketing strategies as well as when designing
new tools and technology.

As a Field Engineer you are

critical to the success of the WRS
system
REMEMBER, the information you
input is used to make decisions
in Schlumberger!
Always remember to make your
