WIRELlNE VALVES
The Wireline Valve (commonly called wireline "BOP") is designed to control well
pressure by sealing around the cable and is used primarily when a cable must be
repaired under pressure, or when you are unable to regain control of seal at the
grease injection head

TWIN RAM WIRELlNE VALVE
The dual ram (Figure below) is composed of two hydraulically operated rams
mounted one above the other. The lower ram is inverted when operating with
braided lines. A grease injection port is located between the two rams where
grease can be injected under pressure to achieve a seal.

WIRELlNE VALVE MAINTENANC
Level 1 Service -To be carried out after every job
1. Wash down.
2. Initial inspection
remove rams and cylinders
- inspect all seal sand sealing surfaces
- remove valve sand inspect.
3. Grease up and rebuild.
4. Function and pressure test at working pressure.
5. Check lifting gear and record last certification type and date.

WIRELlNE VALVE MAINTENANC
Level 2 Service -To be carried out once a year
1. Carry out Level 1 service procedure.
2. Replace all O' rings, inspecting all components and sealing surfaces for
corrosion or damage along the way. Pay particular attention to the surfaces
below the rams.
3. Rebuild Wireline Valve and pressure test to Test Pressure.
4. Function test at Working Pressure

WIRELlNE VALVE MAINTENANC
Level 3 Service - Tobe carried out every 5 years
1. Carry out Levels 1 and 2 service procedure.
2. Strip Wireline Valve to component parts discarding all O' rings/back-up
rings.
3. MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspection) of all parts.
4. Rebuild using seal kit and any necessary new parts.
5. Rebuild Wireline Valve and pressure test to Test Pressure.
6. Function test at Working Pressure

- 9. EQUIPMENT
WIRELlNE VALVE TRANSPORTATION
The Wireline Valve should be enclosed in a protective cage during use and
transportation and stored in the transport frame when not in use (Figure below).
The frame is also used for lifting the valve, and provides a work platform.

LUBRICATORS
The lubricators (also known as risers) are simply a series of inter-
connected lengths of pipe, the purpose of which is to provide a space for
the tool to be contained in under pressure, when opening and closing
the wellhead.
10
- 11. EQUIPMENT
TOOLTRAPS
Hydraulic tool traps are available in all the common pressure ratings,
and for H2S or standard service. The flappers (sometimes called "stop
dogs" or "retainer plates") have a slot larger than the wireline, but
smaller than the tool string. They are spring-loaded and will be lifted as a
tool is pulled through but will fall back as soon as the tool is above the
trap.
To open the flapper externally, hydraulic pressure must be applied
The tool trap remains closed during normal operation. It is only opened
at the commencement of a job to allow the downhole tool to descend
from the lubricators into the well. It is closed again once the tool is in the
well.
11
- 12. EQUIPMENT
TOOL CATCHER (OR HEAD CATCHER)
The tool catcher is normally placed above the lubricator string and below
the ball check valve/grease injection head.
Its purpose is to save a possible fishing job should the tool be
inadvertently pulled into the top end of the lubricator and the weak point
broken. When the catcher is activated, it latches onto the fishing neck of
the cable head or slick-line rope socket, and holds the tool safely in the
risers.
It is compulsory to have at least one 'catching' system, either tool trap or
tool catcher in the WHE string.
12
- 13. EQUIPMENT
BALLCHECKVALVE
The ball valve is situated directly under the Grease Injection Head (GIH).
Its function is to automatically shut off the well if the cable should be
pulled off the tool and the cable blown out of the hole. It must be in
perfect condition to be able to serve that purpose
13
- 14. EQUIPMENT
GREASE SEAL FLOWTUBE SYSTEM
This section of the Pressure Control Equipment permits
the control of well pressure while allowing free movement
of the wireline. The pressure seal is maintained by a thick,
viscous grease, which is pumped into a small annular
space between the wireline and the flowtubes
The tubes must be matched to the size of the wireline in
use, taking into account any wear on the wireline. Thus for
each nominal wireline size there is a choice of tubes.
The supervisor must decide what size tubes are most
appropriate for the cable. For example, a brand new 7/32
cable will probably require flowtubes that have an ID of
.226". 14
- 15. EQUIPMENT
STUFFING BOX AND LINE WIPER
The second part of the GIH grease seal equipment is the Packoff (also
called the Stuffing Box), which is located immediately above the grease
tubes. It is used to seal around the wireline in an emergency or when the
wireline will be stationary for an extended period of time. The device
remains open during normal operation.
The liner wiper is mounted above the packoff and is not designed to hold
pressure. Its function is to remove excess grease from the surface of the
wireline.
15
- 16. EQUIPMENT
QUICK PRESSURE TEST SYSTEM
Best practice for multiple runs wireline operations dictates that the full
lubricator string is pressure tested before the first run in the well.
For subsequent runs, it is required to pressure test only the connection
that has been broken to introduce the wireline tool or perforating gun
into the lubricator string
The Elmar Quick Test System has been designed to save rig time when
pressure testing the Wireline Pressure Control String.
The full system comprises a Quick Test Sub - QTS, and a hydraulically
operated Venting/Glycol Injection Valve.

- 17. EQUIPMENT
FLANGED ADAPTERS
A flanged adapter is the safest method of connecting a WHE string to
a wellhead, as it distributes more evenly the weight of the entire
lubricator string, and any bending stresses transmitted through it
A flange is defined by:
. Its nominal size
. Its pressure rating
. Its ring number.

HAMMER UNIONS (WECO)
Hammer Unions, also called "Wing Unions" or WECD Unions are
quick makeup and break-out pipe and fitting connectors often used
to connect oil-field temporary piping. The original design of the
WECD connector belongs to FMC,but it has been copied by several
other manufacturers. The primary components in these connectors
are
. A male sub with a spherical sealing surface
· A female sub with external acme threads and an elastomeric seal
· A wing nut with internal acme threads to hold the components
together.
