The Skid is an offshore skid-mounted logging unit for the conveyance of wireline tools in and out of the well. It is transportable, rugged, and self-contained.
The Skid consists of a drum for spooling the wire, a hydraulic system to power the drum, a power source or prime mover to drive the hydraulics, and an enclosed operator’s cab which houses the controls and the computer system for recording.
BenchMark Wireline’s skid-mounted logging units are built to our customer’s specifications. The functions normally found on a land-based logging truck are replicated in this offshore skid unit. These units are self-contained except for electric power which is supplied by the rig and can be stored, transported, and operated as a single self-contained unit.
The skids are very ruggedly built and are DNV 2-7.1 certified. Due to the harshness of the marine operating environment, all exposed surfaces use stainless steel hardware or have multiple coats of high-quality paint over hot zinc spray.
The diesel prime mover provides power to the hydraulic controls. Because the winch is hydraulically controlled, it can be operated at a slow constant speed when necessary. The diesel power pack is also housed within the self-contained skid unit.
The operator cab provides winch controls, measurement equipment and ample space for rack-mounted logging computers. It is climate controlled and provides safety features such as a steel mesh protective barrier between the cab and the winch.
The skid can be lifted as a single unit or broken into 2 pieces, the unit and the drum, to accommodate lifting limitations on smaller rigs.
