Used Wireline Equipment

Overview

Wireline equipment refers to tools and systems used to run and retrieve logging, perforating, and intervention tools in oil, gas, and geothermal wells along a cable (wireline). It includes winches, logging heads, wireline trucks, pressure-control gear, and surface data acquisition units. Buyers look for reliable winch capacity, depth ratings, telemetry, and well-control components. Used wireline gear is chosen for service history, certifications, and compatibility with existing fleet.

FAQ

What should I check when buying used wireline equipment?

Inspect winch hours and cable condition, verify pressure-control components and seals, test logging heads and telemetry, review service records and certifications, and confirm availability of spare parts and compatibility with your fleet.

How should wireline equipment be shipped safely?

Use carriers experienced with oilfield gear, secure and block equipment on lowboys or flatbeds, drain fluids, lock drums, protect electronics and delicate sensors, and prepare permits and export/import documentation as needed.

What regular maintenance does wireline gear need?

Perform routine cable inspections, brake and drum checks, replace pressure-control seals as scheduled, calibrate telemetry and sensors, protect against corrosion, and follow manufacturer maintenance intervals.
