  • Standoff for wireline
    Patent number: 12435581
    Abstract: A wireline standoff can include a base comprising a base body having a base channel that traverses a thickness of the base body along its length, where the base channel has a width and a depth that are large enough to receive the wireline. The wireline standoff can also include an end piece having an end piece body having an end piece channel that traverses a thickness of the end piece body along the end piece length, where the end piece channel has a width and a depth that are large enough to receive the wireline. The base and the end piece are in a default position when the base channel and the end piece channel are aligned and in a secured position when the end piece is moved relative to the base so that the base channel and the end piece channel are misaligned with each other.
