Well Service Products
Service Strands - 1x16 & 1x19
Slicklines (Well Measuring Strand)
In the oil and gas industry, wireline service companies use wirelines(also called slick lines and braided lines) to perform well maintenance services. Well depth measurements, swabbing, fishing, retrieving safety valves or plugs, opening and closing down hole circulating devices, and high speed data retrieval and transmission are some of the uses. These lines come in a variety of different variations and materials, all based on the specific well conditions. Horizon carries braided lines in both conventional (1 x 16) and non-conventional (1 x 19) strands.

General Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plain Carbon (IPS) |
NA |
Very poor, may be used in very low h2s (1-2ppm) and co2 (2-3%)with inhibitors |
Good – Wire must be cleaned after use to prevent pitting |
Extremely poor due to presence of h2s + co2 |
Recommended for sweet wells |
|
Extra High Strength Carbon (EIP) |
NA |
Extremely poor, may not be used in any concentration even with inhibitors |
Good – Wire must be cleaned after use to prevent pitting |
Extremely poor. May not be used in any concentrations |
Recommended for sweet wells where higher tensile strength is required |
|
Grade 316 Stainless Steel |
26 |
May be used in concentrations up to 30% co2 with no h2s present |
May be used in concentrations up to 2 to 3 % |
May be used in concentrations of co2 up to 30% providing chlorides do not exceed 2 to 3% and no h2s |
This is a economic choice In less severe corrosion conditions. Good resistance to general corrosion. |
|
Grade 2205 Stainless Steel |
36 |
Very good in concentrations up to 35% with no h2s present |
Excellent. May be used in concentrations up to 30% |
Very good in high chloride + co2 concentrations with no h2s present |
Best choice for heavy demands on Tensile strength in Medium Sour wells with a h2s partial pressure of 3psi max. Very good corrosion resistance in chloride environments and good resistance to pitting and general corrosion. |
|
Grade 25-26 MO |
47 |
Excellent all concentrations |
Excellent. May be used in concentrations up to 30% |
Very good |
Suitable for sour wells with high concentrations of chlorides Very good Resistance in chloride environments with h2s and co2 present. Very good resistance to pitting, stress corrosion cracking and general corrosion |
