User friendly wireline solutions

Friday, Nov 09, 2012

Eztek will be showcasing their range of wireline instrumentation products on November 14th and 15th at the SPE ICoTA European Well Intervention Conference in Aberdeen.

Eztek has developed a reputation for innovative solutions to wireline, slickline and e-line problems. They design and manufacture a range of products from the 2 Way TalkBack Rig Intercoms, ideal for use in wireline operations, to perforating panels, safety keys and purpose-built data logging equipment, such as the TallyBook Winchman and Ezi-Pod.

The TallyBook Winchman has been a major seller for Eztek, with 14 sets shipped to two major Wireline Truck manufacturers earlier this year.

Designed in response to client requests, the TallyBook Winchman completely mimics the industry standard mechanical gauge while recording all data.

“All Eztek products are designed to be user friendly and the TallyBook Winchman is no exception,” says Eztek’s General Manager Robin Hunter. “It requires minimal training and provides extreme reliability, which maximizes efficiency for our clients.”

The Ezi-Pod data logger is another product designed with the demanding nature of wireline operations in mind. It is compact, inexpensive, and suitable for use in ATEX Zone 2 hazardous areas. It is again easy to use and automatically records when powered on.

Primarily used as a back-up (black box) logger, synchronized with a winchman panel, the Ezi-Pod comes with either 66 or 102 hours of battery power, and has enough memory capacity to store 300 days of logging information.

Graeme Montgomery, Operations VP/Director at JAZ-TEK Services LTD. states that the Ezi-Pod “has proved robust in operation and is reliable in the field. The simplicity of the device makes for prompt data recovery.”

The Ezi-Pod is designed to complement Eztek’s range of wireline equipment, including perforating and correlation systems, and is often used in conjunction with their TallyBook Winchman.

“I’m looking forward to ICoTA,” says Eztek’s Business Development Manager, Mervyn Newberry, “It will give us a chance to really show what we can do to improve efficiency for wireline operators.”

Eztek will be located in Booth 28 at SPE ICoTA at the AECC, November 14th-15th. They will also be offering the chance to win a top of the range bottle of malt whisky for anyone who drops their card into a bowl.
