The RELAY System 3 Halliburton Offers a Customized Solution for Every Unique Well Intervention Traditional Slickline RELAY System Electric Line Formation Evaluation Well logging operations with limited capacity in memory mode Real-time information and assurance of logging operations Ideal for reservoir insight in the exploration and development phases Well Integrity Tools deployed on memory mode Provides real-time feedback for greater confidence and efficiency Real-time diagnostic and solution delivery Mechanical Interventions Works well for mechanical solutions Provides advanced capabilities, greater versatility, and reduced risk Primarily used for logging and perforating services Perforating Requires time-delay triggering Real-time control of initiation Traditional perforating operations Big Efficiency from a Small Footprint In some situations, like a crowded offshore rig, operators may be constrained to working within a small footprint. Halliburton offers many solutions to help customers maximize efficiency in these situations. The combo unit contains both slickline and electric-line conveyance systems. The RELAY system is smaller, and still allows for real-time monitoring and control of downhole tools.
4 Halliburton Wireline & Perforating The RELAY System: A Breakthrough Conveyance Technology for Well Intervention The RELAY system brings real-time data and control capabilities to slickline operations. This system also provides depth and time correlation, as well as bidirectional communication with downhole intervention and logging tools. This innovative and patented technology bridges the gap between cased-hole electric line and slickline services, helping enable immediate decision making for your well intervention challenges. The system is easily adapted to existing slickline units for quick deployment and versatility. The RELAY system conveyance is built to be rugged and strong to provide activation for mechanical tools and fishing operations for stuck equipment in the well. Furthermore, this system allows operators to monitor downhole conditions and control downhole tools, improving operational efficiency, reducing uncertainty, and minimizing environmental impact. Added Value for Customers Single-system deployment saves days in unit changeovers, thereby helping reduce cost and limiting health, safety, and environmental (HSE) exposure. Real-time depth control can enable positive confirmation of plugging operations, saving time and money. Flexibility and small footprint makes the RELAY system a cost-effective well integrity solution on remote offshore platforms with limited deck space and crane capacity. The RELAY system saves time on projects involving multiple conveyances by optimizing the number of runs on well-servicing operations. Operators can reduce the overall cost of intervention through improved efficiency, less equipment, and fewer personnel on location. This system is designed to operate safely in a wide array of completion types and conditions: plastic-coated pipe, high-chrome pipe, and heavily scaled or corroded tubulars. The proprietary bonded insulating polymer coating prevents interference or signal loss, and is nonabrasive to downhole tubulars and high-end completions. Key Benefits Versatile operations Uses a single drum and pressure control equipment for mechanical, diagnostic, and perforating operations Simplified logistics Helps reduce costs and logistical challenges Reduced HSE exposure Helps minimize HSE risks by reducing the number of personnel, rig ups, and lifts Improved efficiency Helps ensure safe, efficient, and successful operations via real-time communication with downhole tools Real-time data and control Controls and monitors battery-powered tools in real time through innovative depth/time-based communication Features Streaming data to and from downhole tools Command signals travel through the RELAY system, allowing operators to communicate with downhole tools in real time. Slick, small-diameter conveyance wire for efficient pressure control. Mechanical strength comparable to traditional slickline The RELAY system wire is built to be rugged and strong enough to provide activation for mechanical tools and fishing operations for stuck equipment in the well. Reduced footprint and versatility The RELAY system unit is comparable in size to a traditional slickline unit perfect for tight spaces like offshore platforms. Certified for hazardous zone operations This system is designed to be used in all kinds of environments, including hazardous zones.
The RELAY System 5 An advanced sheave system accurately reports depth and tension information while protecting the cable. A close-coupled antenna acts as a wireless transceiver and allows for two-way communication with downhole tools. The RELAY system cable is coated in an electrically insulating polymer compound that prevents interference or signal loss.
