Prevent wireline keyseating and differential sticking.

Page last modified
April 11 2024

The Gaia Cable Protection System is our system to prevent both keyseating and differential cable sticking during open hole wireline logging operations.  It can be used to deliver efficient wireline operations in challenging wells, without the need for pipe-conveyed logging - with a resulting reduction in emissions, risk and cost.

Wire-Pro is Gaia's bespoke tension modelling package.  It is superior to other models on the market, is focused on open hole sticking potential (tool sticking and cable sticking) and integrates petrophysical data, lithology and pore pressures.

Wireline standoffs (WLSOs) are precision mechanical clamps that attach to logging cable to suspend it above sticky zones.  Wireline standoffs (WLSOs) are arranged in arrays to cover the risk zones in the well. The number of standoffs is dependent on the number and size of the risk zones.  Wireline Standoffs (WLSOs) are typically deployed on a quarter of modelled wells.

 

Pros & Limitations
1
Minimise the need for costly and hazardous wireline fishing operations.
1
Reduce or eliminate the need for Pipe-Conveyed logging, reducing rig time and emissions.
1
SAFE: Avoiding risks related to wireline fishing operations, pipe-conveyed logging and loss of data and samples.
1
CLEAN: Reducing emissions by decreasing rig time and eliminating draw works power during wireline.
1
EFFICIENT: Saving 40-60 hours of rig time per operation compared to other conveyance options.
1
COST-EFFECTIVE: Successful wireline operations at a fraction of sticking-related NPT costs.
