WIRELINE TOOLS

ACT Wireline Stems or Weight Bar or sometimes referred as Sinker Bar provides the weight required to deliver impacts in wireline operations and to overcome the force created by well pressure on the cross section of the wireline. ACT  Lead Filled Stems are used to provide additional weight to the tool string, without a change in & length. These are normally used in well bores with high pressures, to counter the force created by well pressure on the cross section of the wireline. However, these should not be used for heavy jarring.

ACT Rope Sockets are used to securely attach wireline / slickline to the tool string. They are available in four types. The ACT Releasable Rope Socket is designed to release in the event when a wirline / slickline toolstring cannot be recovered from the wellbore. The ACT Wireline Cutter is used to cut the wirline near the rope socket when the down hole tools have become stuck and can’t be retrieved from the well. The wireline cutter is run down under its own weight guided by the line.

The ACT Wireline Snipper is used to cut the wirline near the rope socket when the   down hole tools have become stuck and can’t be retrieved from the well. The wireline snipper is run down under its own weight guided by the line. The ACT Wire Finder is used during wireline fishing operations to locate the top of a broken wireline and retrieve it from the well bore. The fingers of the wireline retriever press against the tubing wall and locate the top of the broken wireline, and direct it up inside the finder.
