Hydraulics For Wireline
Question
Would a hands-on session on winch control and hydrostatic hydraulics help you with your troubleshooting?

This course is designed to be the first step in rigorous hydraulics training for wireline rig operators and maintenance personnel. Participants come away from this highly concentrated course with a solid understanding of hydraulic principles, and component design and functions. System analysis and troubleshooting skills are taught using the circuits and schematics on a slickline/wireline rig.

The ‘Ten Step Troubleshooting Process’ ( TSTP ) is taught with the goal of eliminating the “hit and miss” methods that can be so costly in terms of time and materials. Safety is stressed along with sound maintenance practices. This two-day course is taught with circuit simulation software, wireline rig schematics, and through instructor guided hands-on study of individual hydraulic components.
