Expro is the leading global provider of mechanical slickline services with more than 25 years’ experience. A complete range of slickline intervention services is provided, backed-up by industry-recognised training and quality programs to ensure the highest level of personnel competency.
Slickline units and cables are available in a range of styles to meet customers’ needs, including Zone II rated units. Specialist units such as heavy duty fishing units are also available. Surface computer systems record and store well information, line history, maximum pull and depth run for each job.
Expro continually strives to expand the boundaries of what can be done with Slickline in order to offer our clients the widest possible range of options for their operations. The development of larger slicklines and the range of logging operations that can be carried out on slickline line, with depth accuracies comparable to electric line, ensure that Expro stays at the forefront of this very competitive market.
Large diameter slickline:
Expro provides industry leading 0.16” slickline systems plus pressure control equipment that allow weights and tensions not normally achievable with standard 0.125” slickline. This is used to run large diameter perforating guns as a cost effective alternative to electric line. In addition, the higher tensile load capability allows slickline to be run in deep, difficult wells where logging tensions are normally too high for standard equipment.
Heavy duty fishing:
Expro provides expert fishing services utilising experienced fishing supervisors and specialist heavy duty fishing units which in addition to 0.125” slickline, have Dycam cables ranging from 3/16” to 5/16” in size. Complete fishing tool sets are available including spring jars, hydro-mechanical jars, and accelerators. Specialized fishing tools can be built for any application.
The Expro Downhole Video Camera is also used to investigate what needs to be fished and to assist in the building of specialised tools.
Slickline depth control:
The combination of Expro’s slickline correlation system, which guarantees a depth accuracy of +/- 2 feet, and the Combined Trigger Unit (CTU), allows full-scale production perforating to be performed on slickline with no compromise on safety or accuracy.
The slickline depth control system applies corrections to each perforating run to compensate for the various factors that affect slickline depth. For example wellhead pressure, surface tension, logging tension, wire length, tool length, and tool weight are all accounted for. This step change in slickline accuracy and versatility is backed up with an extensive track record.
Where there is significant concern regarding pressure control operations, for example high pressure wells, slickline perforating presents a lower risk solution due to the improved pressure control mechanism.
