Well Entry Simulation Toolkit (WEST)
WEST is an essential application for the safe planning and execution of wireline intervention in highly deviated and horizontal wells. WEST predicts the wireline and tractor forces before intervention and monitors surface and downhole forces in real-time during a job. WEST determines whether a job is viable.
The WEST output is presented graphically allowing the user quickly to assess the feasibility of wireline intervention, to identify risks by comparing expected loads with equipment limits, and to optimize the selection of logging cables and weak points.
