FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

How does Enviro-Lite Hybrid E-Line eliminate grease-injection skids on live wells?
Conventional stranded wirelines have open external valleys between armour wires that require high-pressure viscous grease injection over 3–6 m flow tubes to contain well pressure. Enviro-Lite extrudes a smooth, cylindrical fluoropolymer/PEEK jacket (±0.05 mm tolerance) over the hybrid armour so it seals inside a compact slickline stuffing box.
How is the electrical ground return completed if the outer armour is covered by a polymer jacket?
The internal hybrid metallic armour wires are terminated directly to the metallic cable head (rope socket) at the bottomhole tool string and to the collector slip-ring ground at the surface winch drum, providing a low-resistance return path without needing wellbore casing contact.
Why does a 35 % lighter hybrid cable reach further in deviated and horizontal wells?
Combining 35 % lower submerged weight with a low-friction (μ ≈ 0.14) fluoropolymer/PEEK jacket dramatically reduces capstan drag around doglegs, allowing tools to descend into higher-angle wells before requiring a downhole tractor.
Can Enviro-Lite be used during live acidizing treatments?
Yes. Unlike bare galvanized GIPS wireline which is rapidly dissolved by hydrochloric (HCl) stimulation acid, the continuous ETFE/PVDF/PEEK outer barrier is chemically inert to 15–28 % HCl and H₂S.
