- Verifies plug setting and release
- Eliminates uncertainty when activating a cable release device
Tool Description
The Weatherford SMART Sens tool is a wireline tension monitoring device which maximizes efficiency and minimizes risk during challenging wireline operations. The tool provides a real-time downhole cable tension measurement which eliminates uncertainty and gives the operator increased control.
Maintaining safe cable tension downhole is challenging in highly deviated and lateral wells because surface measurements do not account for friction. If the cable tension is allowed to become too low, then slack cable and released torque can cause cable damage. If the tension is allowed to become too high, during pump down operations for example, the weak point can be unintentionally broken. Increased visibility of downhole events such as plug setting and perforating guns firing can be valuable also where surface tension readings are inconclusive.
The SMART Sens tool is a robust and proven tool which is straightforward to use in the field. “Plug and Play’ compatibility with Warrior means that many service companies can use this tool directly with no additional surface equipment.
