  • DOWNHOLE WIRELINE TENSION MEASUREMENT
    Publication number: 20150027736
    Abstract: A downhole string and method of operating where tension in the downhole string is monitored real time so that the tension in the downhole string does not exceed its yield strength. Included with the string is a tension sub for monitoring the tension that includes a sensor in the housing of the tension sub. The sensor can be a strain gauge and can be placed proximate an upper end of the downhole string so that tension in a wireline attached to the string can also be monitored. The portion of the housing having the sensor is narrowed for enhancing sensitivity of monitoring.
