Slick-E-Line offers the ability to perform
traditional slickline operations as well as
offering real time depth control, push button tool
activation with verification, PLUS conventional PL
data collection.
Single crew flights - single crew beds - one
single crew for slickline and logging operations.
Hybrid technology is the future of well
intervention and ‘smart’ slickline is the key.

Slick-E-Line System
Slick-E-Line surface equipment comprises a surface
powered RxTx-comms module, electrically connected to a
close-coupled antenna, orientated parallel to the Slick-ELine for optimum antenna directivity and gain. This wirelessly
picks up the downhole logging tool signals from the
ParaComm Antenna and communicates with the downhole
tool when in transmit mode.
Slick-E-Line mechanical services enhance the quality and
operational safety of traditional mechanical operations with
its added accurate depth measurement and monitoring of
downhole tool and environment status in real time.
Slick-E-Line real-time depth correlation capabilities confirm
operations are on depth and provide the exact position
of the downhole tool at all times. This continuous depth
correlation means that slickline operations can now be
adapted in real time, and that the success of the job can be
confirmed before pulling out of hole.
Slick-E-Line run real-time production logs across a range of
wellbore environments.

Specifications
Operating
Weight with full drums approximately 8000 kg.
The winch has a control panel that is intuitive to use.
The winch is modular.
Different control modes are available:
• Rig up remote (from the rig floor the winch can be
operated safely)
• Remote control by ethernet from logging computer and/
or remote location
• Standard manual control
• Constant speed with speed range between 0.2 and
1200 ft/min (0.05 and 400 m/min)
• Automatic logging mode (running (semi) automatic
logging passes)
• Constant tension mode
Both winch boxes with the drum can be removed easily
reducing the weight by approximately 3 tonnes.
Dimensions: 3.6 x 1.6 x 2.9 m (LWH)
The winch is designed to handle the following cables/wires:
• 0.125 standard slick line
• 0.160 standard slick line
• 0.160 Slick-E-Line
• 7/32 heavy duty fishing
ParaWire
ParaWire is a polymeric precision coated alloy
slickline. The formulated polymeric coating
combines superior abrasion and corrosion
resistance with electrical insulation, enabling at the
same time normal mechanical slickline operations
AND two-way data communication with a battery
powered downhole tool string.
ParaWire is deployed using standard pressure
control equipment combined to best effect with the
ParaWinch technology.
ParaWire is made using a proprietary
coating process developed by Paradigm
and is the only one of its type in the world.

ParaLog
A unique, flexible and user friendly
acquisition software.
The difference between ParaLog and other conventional
acquisition systems is the radically different communications
architecture.
Whilst most real time systems log in the depth domain (tools
need to be moving to acquire data versus depth) and all
memory systems log in the time domain (but have to be
merged to depth versus time at surface post-log), the Slick
E-line system logs everything in the time domain…
including depth!
Features:
Simple and easy interface
• One phase, instead of multiple phases: As soon as the
program is launched, it’s acquiring.
• Time based plot at the bottom: As soon as the tool is on,
data is being received. All data Including depth.
• Ready to be selected and output to API.
Real time data acquisition and plotting
• Constant data stream, adapting data rate to
conditions: ParaLog constantly receives data as fast as
conditions allow.
• Programmable sampling rates: Maximise the
bandwidth. If some curves are not needed at the highest
sample rate, sample less.
• Dynamic data buffer indication: On any API plot,
ParaLog outputs in the depth track two tool string
representations.
• The tool can move faster than the data transmission
allows, and if acquiring at the highest sampling rate this
does not dictate the logging speed.
Data selection from time based plot
The default ParaLog interface is a time based presentation,
from which single or multiple passes can be selected and
output to single or multiple API presentations. All the data
is available at any given moment, even when the engineer
was “not logging”.
• Multiple data selections to output: Just select in the time
plot and send to API.
• Easy output and merging to any API (or multiple)
presentation(s).
• Importing reference logs (correlation) done in the same
easy manner.
• Automatic pass labelling by default: Down/up passes
and stations are labelled as such by default. Easier to
pick and rename.
Easy data manipulation and presentation on
API log
• ParaLog makes acquisition much more flexible and
simple.
• Depth matching made easy – just drag the dataset to
match the (imported) reference log and all data from
that pass is put on depth, with visual feedback that the
correct depth offset has been applied.
• Drag and drop formats: Editing formats made easy, just
drag, drop, click, stretch, etc, all visual.
• Exporting PL data on depth has never been easier, just
select all passes, output to an API log and click and
drag to visually match them to the correlation log. All of
them. All of the passes will include the resulting depth
offset and from there: Export data to LAS.
• Importantly, ALL RAW data is also available in the
dataset, without any of the above manipulations
making it easy to revert back to the original if required.
Downhole
Components
Logging
The basic Slick-E-Line logging tool
string comprises a simple logging head
and electronic cartridge connected to
a translator module above a memory
PLT. The various sensors communicate
in MODBUS with the central controller
(located in the top of the tool string)
which, as well as logging all sensor data
to the memory in the cartridge, sends the
data through the Slick-E-Line wire. All
data is recoded and stored downhole
at the highest sampling rate, and sent
to surface at a reduced rate for realtime plotting purposes. At the end of the
slickline logging run, the data from the
downhole memory can be downloaded
and merged with the surface data to
restore it to its full resolution in industry
standard format.
www.paradigm.eu
The basic tool string module is configured
to mechanically and electrically interface
with third party tool string components e.g.
Hunter RBT, MFC and PLT to allow users
maximum flexibility and choice.
Slickline
In addition to mechanical operations,
ruggedised Gamma/CCL tools capable
of withstanding normal jarring shock
loads can be run below the cable head
in cases where depth correlation and tool
verification are required.
The future
Working on an open system basis with
logging tool suppliers should allow new
exciting tools to be developed by a range
of companies which can all be run on the
Slick-E-Line or even be Slick-E-Line specific.
Technology Building Blocks
ParaControl
The new Control system built into the ParaWinch is the
latest in Human Machine Interface (HMI) technology.
Ergonomically superior to traditional systems it’s indicative
of Paradigm’s bottom up approach to the Slick-E-Line
technology. Designed to match the infinite controllability of
the direct electric drive system the ParaControl system offers
both the necessary manual controls and contains all relevant
data (depth, tension, logging speeds etc) in one easy to
read display system.
ParaSheave
The ParaSheave intelligent depth and tension system
allows the winch operator to receive the depth and tension
information from the sensors in the sheaves wirelessly.
Traditional hydraulic weight indicators require heavy
cumbersome hydraulic lines and are notoriously inaccurate
over time. In addition, in order to minimise slippage at the
traditional counter head, the wire is normally wrapped at
the counter head. With a coated wire this is undesirable
if coating life is to be optimised so again Paradigm have
drilled down to the heart of the problem. The ParaWinch has
a wire guide for spooling but no traditional counter head
assembly. The ParaSheaves each have two sensors giving
a system with 400% redundancy and the ability to cross
calibrate between the sheaves.
ParaComm Antenna
ParaComm Antenna seals on the coated wireline cable
against well pressure. The patented sealing element is
designed with a large cross sectional area which provides
this environment friendly seal and cleaning action during
well interventions. The depth and tension measurements are
gathered from a pickup on the pressure control equipment
and sent to the unit via Wi-Fi. The pressure control equipment
is pressure sensitive and automated and will react when an
increase in wellhead pressure is identified.
