A unique digital sensor monitoring system, which can extend the life of wireline through continuous surveillance and create significant cost savings, has been developed by Abu Dhabi based Specialized Oilfield Products. Traditionally, wireline integrity has been inspected manually in stages, using an eddy current flaw detection system and the naked eye, or has been replaced after a fixed period by operators irrespective of whether or not a defect exists. Specialized Oilfield Products’ new system includes an electronic sensor, which is attached onto an eddy current flaw detection system. The sensor accurately pinpoints any integrity issues as the wireline test is run, and stores the information on a secure digital (SD) card.
