33. Digital Slickline Technologies – Controlled Release
4/1/2017
Digital Slickline Technologies – Controlled Release
DCR digital controlled release tool
controlled, on demand toolstring separation
full cable removal
internal and external fishing profile remains
Automatic 24 hr programmable release
Another key tool available to LIVE Act services, but also can be run with the full family of services, is the DCR.
When the undesirable situation of the slickline toolstring being stuck downhole occurs, creating the possibility of cable breakage and a resulting fishing job, digital slickline can bring clarity and control to this predicament. When activated, this parting of the toolstring occurs in a controlled manner, leaving a known internal and external fishing profile downhole to facilitate subsequent fishing operations.

34. In Summary Step Change in Perforating Safety Guaranteed shot detection
Never return to surface with an armed gun
Step Change in Data
Data richness in standard configuration
Will enable real time detailed analysis and job records
All with the advantages of slickline conveyance to better service operator needs
