  • Patent number: 6926087
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical wireline assembly as shown for anchoring a wireline tool string in place during a wellbore under balanced well conditions. The assembly includes an upper connection for connection to the wireline leading to the well surface and a lower connector for engaging a wireline tool. An outer mandrel is attached to the lower connector. An inner mandrel is carried at least partly within the outer mandrel and is capable of axial movement within the outer mandrel. A slip gripping assembly is carried on the outer mandrel and includes slips which are normally biased radially inward but which can be moved radially outward for engaging a surrounding wellbore and holding the wireline tool string in place. An electric motor assembly is carried on the wireline assembly between the upper and lower connectors.
