SlickLight-C – newest combination of electrical and mechanical capabilities

08 Jul 2021

SlickLight-C is a new design of downhole well intervention cable, which combines the flexibility and mechanical strength comparable to traditional slickline with real-time downhole electrical tool management and communication with use of central electrical high temperature conductor offering both bidirectional high-speed telemetry and power delivery.

The small round-shape slickline design offers low friction and low abrasion with no need for expensive grease and pressure control equipment on the well site. The standard slickline dual pack-off pressure control equipment is all you need. The central conductor is a stranded type. This stranding works in conjunction with the upper steel round wire stranding for a better bending performance and a longer lifetime. Various types of polymers can be applied on top of the copper wire strand, with 200°C Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) being the standard option.

The stranded steel wire layer and the final round outer steel tube define the mechanical performance of the overall construction. The low-footprint design aims to offer high-speed communication, fast battery charging and electrical powering of logging and downhole equipment.

The innovative SlickLight-C technology is bridging the gap between a cased-hole electric line and standard slickline services and represents a further step towards real-time full-length logging and profiling. This technology empowers the users to make immediate decisions at the well site, while performing both electrical and mechanical services.
