  • Publication number: 20180355682
    Abstract: Oil field services apparatus and method. The apparatus comprises a conveyance system operable for lowering and retrieving a downhole tool in and out of a wellbore. The conveyance system comprises a drum operable for rotating and receiving a line connectable with the downhole tool, a motor-generator mechanically connected with the drum, and an energy storage electrically connected with the motor-generator. The motor-generator may be operable for receiving electrical energy to impart torque to the drum and receiving torque from the drum to generate electrical energy. The energy storage may be operable for storing electrical energy received from the motor-generator.

  • Publication number: 20160349302
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for monitoring the performances of a cable for carrying a downhole assembly in a wellbore, the cable having at least a conductive core and an insulating outer layer, the method including: performing on the cable a detection operation for detecting the presence of local anomalies of the cable; generating an electrical model of a predetermined configuration of an installation including the cable and the downhole assembly disposed in the wellbore, the model being defined in function of the detected local anomalies, estimating a parameter relative to a signal transmitted by the cable between the downhole assembly and a surface equipment in the predetermined configuration on the basis of the electrical model.
