Abstract: A wireline well-logging data acquisition system and method with corrected depth index. The system having a winch for reeling-in a wireline cable connected to a well-logging tool. A depth index device and a cable tension meter are connected to the wireline cable. A computer system adjusts the depth index as a function of wireline tension measured by the cable tension meter. The computer system executes a method that includes a control loop for adjusting the depth index as function of the wireline tension.
