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
Patented actuator
Specially engineered mechanical actuator activates nonexplosive cutting action and eliminates risk of premature actuation—even in highly deviated wells.
Electronic activation
A small, onboard lithium battery powers the electronic timer and trigger module, reducing HSE risk and eliminating the requirement for radio-frequency silence during operations.
Custom programming
Automated countdowns and custom programming capabilities ensure precise cutting depth and activation assurance.
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
