Engineered Cable Head-Releasable


Provides an engineered mechanical weak point combined with the ease of cable-only release


Applications

  • Deviated wells


Features and Benefits

  • Engineered mechanical weak point for polymer-coated cable applications. This provides the wireline operator the ability to release the wireline cable from the releasable cable head at a predetermined tension
  • Suitable for both conventional and polymer-coated (greaseless) cables
  • Includes weight bar extension with industry standard 2 to 6-in. Acme connections


Tool Description

The releasable cable head (RCH) offers an engineered mechanical weak point combined with the ease of cable-only release rather than releasing a torpedo or partial downhole assembly. Requiring minimal field training, the RCH is strength-adjusted externally, eliminating the need to rehead.

The RCH is adaptable to inline weight bars with a weight bar extension and is compatible with conventional and greaseless lines.
