eWellGlide
Through-wired roller-centralizer sub
Overview
Reduce friction and extend wireline operating range
The eWellGlide™ through-wired roller-centralizer sub helps convey wireline toolstrings in high-angle deviated wells. eWellGlide subs can be positioned anywhere in the toolstring to lift the body and weight of the string onto the roller axles, reducing friction between the toolstring body and tubing wall.
The fluted body ensures sufficient bypass when running through fluids and provides standoff or centralization for toolstrings inside larger-bore tubulars. Rollers are available in various sizes and chosen based on job specifications. The subs are highly debris tolerant and easy to service in the field to ensure multiple successive runs.
The eWellGlide sub comes in two versions:
- The monoconductor version has a single wire through the center that enables placement at the top of the toolstring as an extension of the monoconductor cable.
- The 22-pin version has 22 wires and the same standard pin connections as downhole wireline tools, enabling the roller to be placed anywhere within the downhole toolstring without affecting intertool communication.
The eWellGlide sub replaces third-party roller bogies that are expensive to service and prone to seize up without meticulous maintenance.
Applications
- High-angle deviated wells
- Large-bore tubulars
- Perforation operations (monoconductor sub)
Benefits
Reduces friction between toolstring and tubing or casing
Increases operating range through interchangeable rollers, providing effective options to the end user
Enables multiple toolstring placement options with through-wiring
Lowers inventory requirements (standard sizes with interchangeable rollers enables a single tool to cover a range of operating needs)
Inhibits galling and extends service life with hardened, wear-resistant quench-polish-quench (QPQ) axles and rollers
Enables easy field servicing to facilitate multiple successive runs
The eWellGlide sub is available in two versions: 22-pin (top) and monoconductor (bottom).
Features
- Fluted body
- Two configurations: monoconductor and 22-pin
- Roller size selection based on job specifications
- High debris tolerance
- NACE MR0175-compliance for H2S and CO2 resistance
