The UltraTRAC all-terrain wireline tractor readily conveys large payloads in challenging borehole conditions and across high-angle, extended-reach wells. By replacing conventional reliance on coiled tubing and drillpipe carrier conveyance in both open and cased holes, the UltraTRAC tractor simplifies and streamlines wireline operations—reducing cost, time, and risk. The UltraTRAC Mono tractor system adds logging-while-tractoring functionality to acquire data in both up and down passes.
The robust maneuverability of the UltraTRAC tractor results from three exclusive design features:
Engineered to withstand the impact of perforating gun detonation as well as the vibration generated in rugose boreholes, the modular UltraTRAC tractor has low sensitivity to well conditions. The fully integrated system incorporates multiple peripheral systems into the tractor architecture; consequently, the equipment needs only a single crew for both tractor operation and the conveyed services. The UltraTRAC tractor does not require specialized cable and is compatible with all multiconductor cables.
Optimal tractor performance across all terrains is realized by specifying the number and configuration of the drive sections. A tandem sub increases functionality by enabling independent surface control of the drives above and below the sub. Multiple wheel diameters and proprietary designs are available for the well geometry and expected borehole conditions.
