Dystatic-Seasoning

Single Conductor Cable

Removes the majority of the permanent stretch of the entire length thus greatly reducing the seasoning period
The cable diameter profile is reduced uniformly throughout the entire length of the cable
This uniform diameter profile reduces the uncertainty on the selection of flow tube sizes for better well head pressure control*
Reduces the frequency of normalizing (tightening) of the cable throughout the cable life
DYSTATIC-SEASONING is widely accepted by the cased hole service companies with over 8,000,000 ft. in use today
A final inspection report is provided listing the cable diameter before and after the DYSTATIC-SEASONING process which is recorded during the process by multiple state-of-the-art laser micrometers
DYSTATIC-SEASONING maintains the manufacturer’s warranty by never exceeding their maximum recommended working load

*Normal outer armor wear will eventually result in some tapering

Removes the majority of "new" cable initial permanent (constructional) stretch, reducing the cable diameter uniformly throughout the entire length of the cable
Improves accurate primary depth acquisition with new cables
Reduces the need to yo‐yo new cables on their first runs, hence saving expensive rig time
Maintains the manufacturer’s warranty by never exceeding the cable working load limit
Verifies the working condition of the cable before it is installed on a wireline unit by the detailed inspections and working load tests which is part of the DYSTATIC-SEASONING process
Includes a final inspection report listing cable diameter measurements recorded by state‐of‐the‐art laser micrometers
The existing Dystatic-Seasoning facility can safely apply up to 25,000 lbs. tension, controllable with 20 lbs. increments and can process cables up to 50,000 ft. in length
Over 3,000,000 ft. of cable has been successfully subjected to this process during its development & field use
