Program Professional Framework
Wireline Operations & Techniques (Slickline & E-Wireline)
Program Overview
Wireline is the most frequent form of well intervention, used for gauge runs, plug setting, valve change-outs, logging and perforating. This programme covers slickline, braided line and electric line operations: surface pressure control equipment, rig-up and pressure testing, toolstring design, jarring, running and pulling flow control devices, e-line logging and perforating, fishing and contingency planning. Safety and well control during live-well interventions receive particular attention, reflecting the operating practices of onshore and offshore operators in the region.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants prepare a complete job programme for a slickline intervention to replace a gas lift valve or set a plug: well data review, pressure control stack and test plan, toolstring diagrams, pull limit calculation, step-by-step procedure and a fishing contingency plan.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
