Wire Rope
Wire Rope Definition and Types
Wire rope is machine composed of individual wires that have been twisted to form strands and work together to achieve optimum results for the selected operation. Strands are then twisted, to form a wire rope. The parts of a wire rope illustrated in the figure below.
The core is the foundation of the rope design. The main functionality of the core is to support the wire stands and maintain them in their position during the lifecycle of the product in operation. Fiber and steel are the main materials that have been used to manufacture the core of the rope and give the appropriate properties. Flexibility is the advantage of fiber core over to steel core but it is less resistant to environmental damage. …show more content…
The maintenance of the equipment begins when the rope is purchased and is stored in a warehouse, or during installation and commissioning. The conditions of the storage should be ideal to preserve the lubrication and protect the wire from the weather elements, dirt or any other exposure to mechanical damage.
During the installation and commissioning, personnel need to ensure that all the manufacturers procedures are followed and no damages, dirt or sudden and heavy loads are introduced to the equipment. The breaking in the wire rope procedure needs to be followed; a successful breaking in operation will extend the life of the wire rope.
Maintenance of the equipment on which the ropes operate play essential role to the rope’s life. Worn parts, misalignment of sheaves, damage grooves shock loads and excessive vibration will result deterioration of the performance of the …show more content…
The liner is perforated for production. Advantages and Limitations of this method are illustrated below. [21]
Types of Completion Configuration
Some of the main conventional tubular configurations are listed below:
Single zone completion Multiple Zone Completion Single String – Single Packer Single String – Duel Packer Single String – Multiple Packer Parallel String – Multiple packer
As mentioned above there are several factors that need to be taken in consideration for selecting the appropriate configuration. The system needs to be safe, efficient and cost effective to achieve the production and financial goals of the campaign.
A single string configuration with a selective zone completion method can be selected for the E – 10 well. In this case single production tubing is used and the isolation of the different levels are kept separated by packers. The advantage of this method is that allows selective actions to take place. Production, injection, testing stimulation and isolation of the various zones can be performed based on the needs of the well. The proposed configuration can handle all the challenges that may arise due to the nature of the reservoir (sand, gas and water) [20,
