Description

FOREWORD

The third edition of this manual was written to update and outline the
application of the various wireline tools, equipment, and operations
in the oil and gas industry. The manual does not cover all aspects of
the subjects presented. Instead, the basic applications and principles
of wireline work are covered in a simple and uncluttered manner.

This manual should be used as an introduction and guide to wireline
operations, not as a comprehensive treatise. An individual wishing to
learn more should go to the specialized training texts or programs
used by the various wireline companies.

Wireline equipment use and technology has been growing steadily, along
with significant improvements in wireline capability. This was a
natural evolution resulting from the variety of geographical frontiers
and well conditions in which the industry operates today, i.e.,
offshore, arctic areas, deserts, inland waters, etc.

Chapter 1 contains a brief review of early wireline work and a
description of surface equipment used in performing various wireline
operations. Tool strings and service tools are described in Chapter 2.
Subsurface equipment used in completion operations and production
control is covered in Chapter 3. Wireline operations, including
offshore procedures, are outlined in Chapter 4. Illustrations are used
throughout this manual to make the words easier to understand.

Preparation and review of all material in the third edition of this
manual–the fifth in the API Vocational Training Series of
publications dealing with various oilfield operations–was
accomplished by a Task Force appointed by the API Executive Committee
on Training and Development.
