In the oil and gas industry, the term wireline usually refers to the use of cable, or "wireline," to collect subsurface geophysical and petrochemical data. The subsurface information describes and allows for analysis of subsurface geology, reservoir properties and production characteristics. Wireline can also refer to the delivery of well construction services such as pipe recovery, perforating, plug s. SlicklinesUsed to place and recover wellbore equipment, such as plugs, gauges and valves, slicklines are single-strand non-electric cables lowered into oil and gas wells from the surface. Slicklines can also be used to. .
First developed by Conrad and Marcel Schlumberger in 1927, wireline logs measure formation properties in a well through electrical lines of wire. Different from (MWD) and mud logs,. .
When producing wells require remedial work to sustain, restore or enhance production, this is called workover. Many times, workover operations require production shut-in, but not always.
