Slickline Service Tools Overview

Slickline operations have been used since the early days of the oil and gas industry to aid in well completion, remedial and workover operations. Slickline tools are used for tasks like depth determination, pressure and temperature surveys, paraffin cutting, cementing, and manipulating valves. Specific slickline tools include gauge cutters for clearing obstructions, blind boxes for heavy downward jarring, and impression blocks for determining the shape of stuck objects to plan fishing operations.

Slickline Service Tools – part 1

Slickline operations have been in use since the early days of the oil and gas industry. The
development of equipment and technology for slickline operations has kept pace with the
development of new methods and tools used in well completion, remedial and work-over
operations. Slickline is used for depth determination, deviated hole surveys, temperature and
pressure surveys, paraffin cutting, and cementing operations. Slickline may also be used to set,
retrieve, and manipulate chokes, circulating plugs, gage cutters, swaging tools, safety valves and
gas-lift valves.

Gauge Cutter Operations:


A gage cutter should be run prior to running or pulling a subsurface control. This assures the
operator that the tubing is unobstructed. The bottom shape of the tool is designed to scratch, jar
and cut paraffin, sand or other obstacles from the tubing wall. This may request several runs with
different sizes of gauge [Link]’s often used to tag top of Landing nipples, SSD’s or to
determine total well depth.

Blind Box Operations:


A blind box is a service tool used when heavy downward jarring is required. The tool is flat on the
bottom and hardened so as not to damage easily.
A blind box can be used to tag top of liquids in the well. When something gets stuck in the well a
blind box can be used to jar it down and move it out of the way.

Impression Block Operations:


An impression block is a lead-filled cylinder and secured with pins in the body. This tool is used
during fishing operations to ascertain the shape or size of the top of the fish and may indicate the
type of tool necessary for the next operation.

By the mean of the appropriate weight control of a Slickline Unit, you will get an accurate replica
of the downhole situation.
