Slickline Pressure Control
Slickline Pressure Control Equipment
At Clear Cut Interventions, our Perth-based slickline services are engineered to ensure maximum precision and safety in well interventions. To achieve this, we stock state-of-the-art pressure control equipment.
Our equipment ranges from slickline blowout preventers (BOP) to grease injectors. Each piece of equipment is meticulously maintained to ensure reliable performance and guarantee safe and efficient operations in your wellbore.
What are Slicklines?
Slicklines are thin, non-electric cables used in the oil and gas industry for downhole interventions. They are critical for deploying (and retrieving) tools within the wellbore, enabling maintenance and monitoring tasks such as valve changes and bottom-hole data collection.
Slicklines are instrumental in performance evaluation, completion work and remedial interventions. This can be critical in both onshore and offshore environments, where maintaining well integrity and operational efficiency is paramount.
The simplicity and effectiveness of the slickline makes it especially valuable in activities that require high precision without the complexity and cost of more elaborate wireline systems.
Clear Cut Interventions brings extensive experience to slickline operations, backed by a history of successful interventions across Western Australia. You can click these links to read more about how we have deployed slicklines onshore and offshore:
Why Does Pressure Control Equipment Matter?
Pressure control equipment is vital for maintaining the integrity of a well during slickline activity. It prevents the uncontrolled release of formation fluids and provides a safe working environment by isolating and controlling well pressure.
This equipment is ensures safety in high-pressure well environments, where the risks associated with sudden pressure changes can be significant.
Inadequate pressure control can lead to severe issues, including blowouts – where oil or gas uncontrollably escapes from a well. Blowouts don’t just pose safety risks to personnel and equipment, they also result in environmental damage and substantial financial losses from downtime and remediation works.
Adequate and effective pressure control will ensure that operations within the well are conducted safely, mitigating the potential for catastrophic failures and enhancing the overall integrity and efficiency of the slickline operations.
Our Pressure Control Equipment
Clear Cut Interventions is equipped with a comprehensive suite of pressure control equipment, with each piece designed to address specific challenges during slickline operations:
Blowout Preventers (BOPs): Our slickline BOPs are crucial for sealing, controlling, and monitoring oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts—the uncontrolled release of crude oil or natural gas from a well. They are able to close off the well in case of unexpected pressure surges, ensuring site and personnel safety.
Grease Injectors: These devices are used to create a seal around the slickline wire as it enters the well, preventing the escape of pressure and fluids. Our grease injectors perform reliably in a different pressure ranges, essential for maintaining well integrity during interventions.
Pressure Control Valves: Our valves ensure precise control during operations by managing flow and pressure within the wellbore. These valves are designed to withstand high-pressure environments, preventing equipment failure and environmental hazards in challenging conditions.
Proven, market-leading equipment forms the backbone of our slickline pressure control solutions. Each piece is maintained to the highest standards and is regularly tested to ensure its performance and reliability.
CCI is also offers a range of slickline pulling tools to assist in object recovery, debris removal and other activities. Whether it be pressure control or pulling tools, our ancillary equipment is chosen to create a smoothly constructed, safe and efficient solution for your site.
