SuperCombo on wireline saves over 20 hours of rig time in KSA

Tool Taxis enable wireline tractor logging in very long horizontal sections

Highly deviated wells (over 60°) were conventionally logged using pipe conveyed toolstrings (TLC). Operations took over 40 hours. In addition, data quality of dual density was compromised.

Efficiency gain from utilizing wireline open hole tractor established by successfully deploying tractors in 8 OH jobs. However, the tools had to be conveyed in two descents due to length, weight and drag.

Adding Petromac ulta-low friction tool taxis enabled a single descent solution:

Rig time savings = 20hours

Reached 86°without tractoring to TD!

Operation completed in less than 20 hours

Sonic Scanner centralized without using drag inducing centralizers

Dual density data quality enhanced

Reduced risk of differential sticking
