Wireline Operations and Techniques

Wireline Operations and Techniques Training Course provides a complete and practical understanding of one of the most essential intervention methods used throughout the life of a well. Wireline operations support diagnostics, completion, workover, and production activities by enabling the deployment of tools and instruments into the wellbore without requiring a full rig mobilization. As modern reservoirs become increasingly complex, wireline services play a vital role in maintaining well integrity, monitoring reservoir behavior, and performing targeted interventions that reduce downtime and enhance production efficiency.

This training course introduces participants to the full spectrum of wireline operations — from slickline services that support mechanical tasks to braided line and electric line applications used for advanced downhole measurements and perforation work. The course presents a structured understanding of wireline equipment, pressure control systems, bottom-hole assemblies, tool strings, and service applications across different well conditions. Participants also gain clarity on operational barriers, safety zones, and equipment integrity that underpin safe execution.

A key focus of this training is risk management. Delegates will examine common challenges, pressure-related hazards, wire failures, downhole retrieval operations, and best practices for mitigating operational risks. With real-world examples and field-based insights, the course strengthens decision-making, job planning, and tool selection, enabling participants to manage wireline tasks confidently and effectively. Whether supporting completion, servicing, or production optimization, this course provides the foundational capabilities required for safe, efficient, and industry-compliant wireline operations.

Participants will explore the functions of slickline, braided line, and electric line systems while learning how to select, operate, and evaluate equipment based on well conditions and job demands. The training also enhances awareness of operational risks, pressure control methods, and emergency responses that are critical in live-well environments.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Identify major wireline systems, including slickline, braided line, and electric line
• Understand the operation and configuration of pressure control equipment
• Recognize wireline applications across completion, production, and diagnostic operations
• Evaluate tool strings, bottom-hole assemblies, and equipment selection
• Assess operational risks and implement suitable mitigation techniques
• Review contractor proposals with improved technical understanding
• Apply lessons learned to enhance the effectiveness of rigless interventions
• Utilize wireline tools and techniques effectively during well servicing and workover phases

This Wireline Operations and Techniques Training Course is designed for industry professionals involved in well intervention, well servicing, and production-related activities. It is particularly valuable for individuals who require a strong working knowledge of wireline systems, operational risks, and downhole applications. The course supports both technical development and improved coordination between operations teams, engineering functions, and field personnel responsible for well performance.

It is ideal for:

• Wireline Operation Engineers
• Wireline Engineers and Supervisors
• Subsurface Engineers
• Production Engineers and Technologists
• Petroleum Engineers supporting well servicing
• Well Services and Field Operations Personnel
• Facility and Process Engineers involved in intervention planning
• Geoscience Engineers supporting completion and formation evaluation

This Wireline Operations and Techniques Course is delivered through a carefully structured combination of instructor-led sessions, applied technical discussions, and practical learning activities. Participants engage in presentations supported by real-life operational visuals, tool demonstrations, and case examples that illustrate field challenges and solution approaches. The interactive nature of the training encourages delegates to analyse operational scenarios, interpret tool applications, and reinforce learning through collaborative exercises.

Video demonstrations and group problem-solving sessions help participants understand tool behavior, pressure control systems, and wireline risk environments. The training methodology promotes active participation, critical thinking, and shared field insights to enhance learning depth. By the end of the course, participants will hold a strengthened understanding of wireline operations and be better equipped to support safe, efficient, and well-coordinated intervention activities.
