Wireline Drilling Technologies specializes in drilling solutions using wireline equipment for frac plug drilling, well conveyancing and lateral drilling.

• Sidewinder Cased Hole Well Tractor: This well tractor is used for high-angle or horizontal wellbore for the deployment of wireline logging tools and other downhole equipment.
• Frac Plug Wireline Drilling System: Incorporates a WDT SIDEWINDER well tractor, a drilling module with a circulation and cuttings removal system and a cutting capture and storage module
• Cased Hole Well Intervention Services: Rapid deployment well interventions, incorporates a local circulating system and cuttings capture system facilitate efficient well bore clean up. This drilling unit can be adapted to milling, casing reaming and brushing with no residual debris.

Wireline Lateral Drilling System:

• A small diameter polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit
• High power drilling unit provides fluid circulation and torque to turn the bit
• Cuttings capture unit that separates and stores wellbore cuttings
• SideWinder tractor to provide conveyance and drilling weight on bit (WOB)
• Wireline unit at surface to provide power and control

Service

This is one of the few commercial wireline drilling system developed. WDT provides a solution using the traditional wireline to power and have telemetry, also solving the issue of weight on bit and countering reactive torque from the drilling motor. In addition, incorporates a circulation system that can both remove cuttings from around the drill bit and separate and capture the cuttings from the circulating fluid.

WDT’s SIDEWINDER well tractor employs individually hydraulically-actuated and powered traction wheels with variable speed control and reversing capability.

Cased-hole well interventions and lateral drilling in both conventional and unconventional fields.
