Case Study Wireline E-Cutter Salvages Rigless Pumpdown Operation
Nonexplosive Peak eCutter wireline cutter saves fishing job and enables fracturing to resume in 24 h.
eCutter
Electronically activated nonexplosive wireline cutter
Overview
The eCutter™ electronically activated nonexplosive wireline cutter drops from surface to sever slicklines and cables when a toolstring becomes stuck downhole. Rather than being activated by impact, the cutter relies on a specialized electronic timer and trigger module to perform clean, precise cable cuts in a wide range of wire sizes from 0.108-in slickline to 0.313-in heavy-duty, high-strength cable.
Applications
- Deviated wells
- Complex-geometry wells
- Pumpdown deployment
- High-viscosity fluids
- Wells with unknown or deep fluid level
Benefits
Electronically activated nonexplosive wireline cutter provides safer, more reliable cable cutting for stuck-toolstring events.
Features
- Patented mechanical actuator
- Lithium-based, nonpyrotechnic power source
- Preprogrammed and customizable countdowns
- Remote power capabilities
