Abstract: A block boot (1) that has a rectangular ground plan, a bottom (5), and four side walls (2, 3). On the interior of the side walls (2, 3), ribs (10, 15) extending in parallel to the bottom are arranged. At least one of these ribs (10, 15) tapers from the respective side wall (2, 3) toward the interior of the block boot to a free end having a vertex line (24, 25). This block boot is simple to manufacture and offers improved properties with regard to static and dynamic rigidity in operation.

Abstract: Detector of Slickline Irregularities (DILA) is a electronic system to detect and assess irregularities in production wells or to a new slickline by measuring eddy currents or eddies or Foucault currents. The system lines can vary in diameter depending on the operation to be performed on each well. The electronic system includes an optical encoder, eddy current sensor, eddy current reader, an electronic module for data acquisition and a computer. The detector monitors the integrity of the slickline in the well, interprets and records the data for graphing and reduces failures in the slickline as a result of rupture caused by excessive stress or collisions within the producing wells, detects flattening and bending, lack of nickel coating, porosity and corrosion.
