Patent number: 10683719Abstract: This invention relates to a wireline tractor (10) for use in a casing or tubing (4) in a well. The wireline tractor (10) includes at least one retractable wheel (14) for driving within the casing or tubing (4) and a rotatable disc-shaped cutting device (11) mounted on an actuator (13) that is coupled to the wireline tractor. The cutting device (11) and the actuator (13) are configured for pressing the cutting device (11) against a wall of the casing or tubing (4) and for cutting a perforation (100) in the wall of the casing or tubing (4), in operational use of the wireline tractor (10). The invention further relates to a method for perforating a casing or tubing (4) in a well.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2015Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Qinterra Technologies ASInventor: Arne Motland

Patent number: 10018006Abstract: This invention relates to a method for activating and deactivating a GS-tool (2) having grippers (22), tool housing (32), spindle (22), and main spring (50) arranged to pre-tension the gripper (44) towards a deactivated position as the GS-tool (2) is displaceable in a wellbore (10) in the ground. The method includes the steps of coupling the spindle (22) of the GS-tool (2) to an actuator mandrel (12) of an actuator (4); arranging an activating sleeve between the tool housing (32) and an actuator housing (14); and displacing the actuator mandrel (12) and thereby the spindle (22) relative to the tool housing (32) in a direction from the GS-tool (2) until the grippers (44) have reached activated positions by overcoming the force from the main spring (5). A GS-tool for implementing the method is also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Qinterra Technologies ASInventor: Arne Motland
