slickline
Slickline is a type of lightweight steel or fiberglass wire used in the oil and gas industry for well intervention operations. It is designed for running tools into and retrieving equipment from boreholes without the use of hydraulic or electrical power. Slickline operations are essential for performing tasks such as setting or retrieving safety valves, gauges, and plug installations, as well as measuring downhole conditions.
The slickline cable is characterized by its smooth, unbraided surface, which allows it to move freely within
Operations involving slickline can be performed under various conditions, including high pressures and high temperatures, depending
Compared to other well intervention methods, such as wireline coiled tubing or hydraulic workover units, slickline
Slickline technology has evolved with advances in materials and tool design, increasing safety and operational efficiency.
