STAVANGER, Norway –Schlumberger has launched its ReSOLVE instrumented wireline intervention service. ReSOLVE is a modular system of intelligent wireline-deployed services that provide real-time measurement and control.
This system comprises a high-force linear actuator, a universal shifting tool (UST), a hydraulic setting tool, and a milling tool. The high-force linear actuator shifts downhole valves, pulls retrievable plugs, and can perform fishing operations while monitoring force and displacement in real time. The UST is a field-configurable, high-expansion shifting tool that can selectively shift devices, even below restrictions.
The plug and packer setting tool operates hydraulically, eliminating the need for explosives. The milling tool removes scale and other obstructions from wellbore tubulars while automatically controlling weight-on-bit to maximize rate of penetration.
“The downhole intelligence of ReSOLVE services enables our customers to see intervention operations at a level of detail not previously possible,” said Catherine MacGregor, president, Schlumberger Wireline. “With this unique technology, more complex operations can be performed, such as selective sleeve shifting or safety valve performance evaluation, with unprecedented success.”
