Features of Wire Line Operations
Wire line operations are measures for prevention and / or troubleshooting of underground and / or wellbore equipment.
During the use of oil and gas wells, there is a possibility of occurrence of various problems associated both directly with the work, and with the relative underground equipment.
It is necessary to take appropriate measures to prevent the occurrence of these faults, which can often lead to disturbances and even shut down of wells.
Basically, underground wells repair is preventative: its implementation is carried out in accordance with a special schedule.
When performing repair works caused by prolonged wells downtime, operating ratio should be taken into account, defined as the ratio between the actual work of each well and the relative calendar operation period with gradation by month, quarter, year.
