US-based oilfield services company Schlumberger has launched the MaxPull high-pull wireline conveyance system, which can be used in the oil and gas industry.
The new system has the capacity to pull from 18,000lbf to 30,000lbf in wells 40,000ft deep or more and is integrated with wireline conveyance components.

This integrity brings reliability and sticking avoidance to complex well trajectories that were not wireline accessible earlier.
Schlumberger Wireline president Hinda Gharbi said: "With the industry’s highest-pull wireline conveyance system, drillers can expect drillpipe-free wireline operations in any environment with vertical well efficiency and minimum sticking risk.
"In addition, our customers can mitigate operational risk and save time during comprehensive data acquisition by eliminating the use of conventional drillpipe conveyance."
The MaxPull system can pull up to 30,000lbf line tension and when paired with wireline tractors, it will further improve well access in complex well trajectories, reducing the number of logging runs.

By GlobalDataSchlumberger has already tested the MaxPull high-pull wireline conveyance system in various well environments and trajectories in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, West Africa, and North and South America.
Separately, the company has also introduced the Maze microfluidic saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes (SARA) analysis for reservoir fluids characterisation for the oil and gas industry.
The analysis will completely automate the process for testing oil samples for SARA and eliminates human subjectivity enabling precise SARA measurements.
