1. Match the letter to the wireline part:

A

B

C

D

Submit

2. It is necessary to adjust the tension profile of the wireline on our drum to meet your expected future well conditions.

True

False

3. When would we normally utilize a powered Capstan?

When we are unable to actually see the well head from the truck

In wells containing hydrogen sulfide

Running on wells where abnormal tensions would be placed on our drum

On jobs using a RWCH

4. Why are the inner and outer armors on our wireline normally twisted in opposite directions?

It uses less material to twist them in opposite directions

It helps minimize any wireline rotation when placed under tension

It provides a better electrical shield for our conductor cable

It allows us to determine a stuck point by counting the difference in rotations

Submit

True

False

12. What does milking the line mean?

Running the line well in excess of its life expectancy

Running in the hole too fast, causing the line to unwrap on the drum
