Wireline services are a core part of modern oilfield operations — enabling precise measurement, well logging, perforation, and intervention. Whether you're operating in the Permian Basin, Bakken Shale, or Eagle Ford, selecting the right wireline vendor can impact both performance and safety.
🔧 What Are Wireline Services?
Wireline services use a cable (either electric or slickline) to lower tools or instruments into oil and gas wells. They're essential for well logging, depth measurements, perforation, and setting/removing plugs.
📋 Types of Wireline Services
- Slickline: Simple mechanical operations (valves, sleeves, etc.)
- Electric Line (E-Line): Delivers electrical tools for logging, sensors, or perforation
- Braided Line: For high-strength operations (e.g., heavy pulling or fishing)
🌎 Where Wireline Services Are in High Demand
These services are in high demand in the Permian Basin (TX & NM), Bakken (ND), and Eagle Ford (TX), especially for completions, diagnostics, and workovers.
