Special Services Operations Safety
Introduction
Special services are operations that use specialized equipment and workers who perform support well drilling and servicing operations.
Coordination between all personnel is critical for site safety. Therefore, prior to the start of all special services operations, the contractor should conduct a pre-job safety meeting to include all personnel on the job site.
Wireline Operations
A wireline is a slender, rod-like or threadlike piece of metal, usually small in diameter, which is used for lowering special tools (such as logging sondes, perforating guns, and so forth) into the well. It is also called slick line.
All wireline operations require special precautions. Wireline operations may include slick line and electric line operations. Operations completed through the use of wireline include logging, perforating, setting of downhole tools, fishing, bailing, and swabbing.
