    INTEGRATING CRANE SERVICES WITH WIRELINE OPERATIONS PROVIDE EFFICIENCY AND COST-SAVINGS TO THE OPERATOR

    Decrease your logistics concerns with Renegade crane services

    Successful wireline operations depend on many variables, but foremost is a well-trained and organized crew and the right equipment. Moving and lifting equipment while rigging up and rigging down is a critical part of wellsite operations and one of the most demanding. Bringing in a third-party operator to handle this operation can lead to miscommunication, mistakes and even possible injury. Plus, the added burden of paperwork and project managing the vendor can quickly add costs to the operation. 

    Renegade Wireline Services provide a full range of cranes for wellsite support. Along with this comes the knowledge, experience and safety methods that only thoroughly trained personnel can provide.

    Northeast 50 to 110 TON  
    Gulf 40 to 50 TON  
    Rockies 30 to 50 TON  
    » Renegade has a wide range of crane capacities for every job.

    Renegade crane equipment and personnel directly support wireline operations by suspending the lubricator assembly and BHA over the well. The operator is responsible for rigging up the frac iron before the job starts and again when it is finished. This equipment is also used to hoist or move heavy equipment, as well as picking up gear such as coil tubing injector heads. Larger well pads require cranes with a longer reach, so larger capacity cranes are used in these circumstances.  

    While the lifting capacity of cranes can vary, the correct size is selected based on how heavy the equipment is and how far away it must be handled. Most cranes operated by Renegade have 50-ton and 110-ton capacity and a variety of operating ranges.    

    Bringing in a third-party crew can be both expensive and less efficient. Crew members who work together daily can anticipate challenges that arise during completion operations and remedy them with the best solution. The primary advantage of Renegade Services providing wellsite crane operations is one integrated team at the wellsite familiar with and sharing common best practices, lessons learned, and safety procedures.

    MINIMIZE RISK AND MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY WITH RENEGADE PRESSURE CONTROL EQUIPMENT 

    Renegade can manage your pressure control equipment for streamlined logistics

    Maintaining the correct pressure is critical when completing a well. You need the right equipment to make the entire system succeed, from lubricator assembly to the grease head. Pumping large volumes of fluid at high pressure can pose a risk if not done correctly. Properly maintained equipment run by qualified personnel is Renegade Services key to successful wellsite operations. 

    Oil well blowouts are easily the most catastrophic incident that can occur on a rig site. A blowout causes significant damage to the environment, the rig and significantly increases the risk of injury or even death to workers. Blowouts also cause lost production time and negatively impact the operators bottom line. Proper pressure control within the system is more than just a good practice; it’s an essential part of managing potential hazards. 

    Proper pressure control measures result in safe working conditions on location. Most companies hire third-party operators to manage this process. However, when more outside contractors are brought in, the process becomes less efficient, and the risk of mishandling pressure control equipment increases. Renegade Services provides its own highly trained staff to run pressure control equipment during completions operations. This combination reduces risk, protects the well and offers significant peace of mind.

    Production Logging Services 

    Critical Data to Help Maintain Well Performance

    Production Logging services evaluate fluid production rate and flow in producing wells and are a main indicator of well performance and problem identification. The results of a production logging services help recommend remedial treatment or workover operations.  

    Renegade Production Profile Logging has proven to be the most reliable logging technique to give operators qualitative and quantitative evaluation of injection fluids and to aid in the evaluation of the performance of field floods.  

    The same technique can be reversed for producing wells. Radioactive tracer surveys ran in conjunction with other surveys, such as temperature gradient, capacitance, velocity, bottom-hole pressure, fluid density and calipers, will give the operator a full complement of surveying techniques to help fully evaluate their wells.  

    Applications 

    • Locate oil, gas and water entry 
    • Fluid flow: no-flow check and cross-flow check 
    • Shut-in cross-flow check 
    • Injection profile log: pump-in tracer, channel-down check and CO2 composite 
    » Renegade designs the optimum production logging job with the right tools and equipment.

    While many companies may provide this service, only Renegade has the knowledge to perform a successful job every time. 

    Renegade Services has several production logging supervisors with over 25 years’ experience running production logging services. Our team will work with the operator to help ensure a safe, successful job, completed in the least amount of time.  

    • Select the right tools and equipment 
    • Make sure pressure control equipment is on location 
    • Review all well conditions such as temperature and pressure 
    • Weight bars and backup tools are available if needed 
    • Selection of radioactive isotope 
    • Safe operating procedures for handling and storage of radioactive materials  
    Step-Rate Tests

    Obtaining data is the key to planning a successful frac job. Step-Rate tests are one method for estimating the maximum injection pressure, one of the most useful parameters when planning the optimum frac treatment.  

    A step rate test can accurately measure the injection pressure needed to fracture a formation when planning a hydraulic frac job. During the test, fluid is injected into the formation at increasing pump rates. As each rate stabilizes, injection pressure data is taken for each rate. The resulting data is used to create a plot displaying injection pressure verse injection rate. From this plot, pressure and flow rates can be established to identify the fracture pressure necessary to fracture the formation and successfully place fluid and proppant.  

    Spectral Noise/Digital Temperature Survey

    The relationship between reservoir flow and wellbore flow is critical to well performance. The Renegade spectral noise log in conjunction with a high-precision digital temperature survey can accurately locate and quantify reservoir flow and wellbore flow to help determine the relation between the two.   

    This combination can diagnose unexpected well problems and also proactively ensure the well is working properly. Resulting data provides a wealth of information on well performance and can help identify zones where remediation is needed.  

    • Identify surface casing vent flow (SCVF) 
    • Identify external gas migration (GM)  
    • Identify fluid flow behind multiple casing pipe barriers 
    • Locate source of downhole leaks 
    • Help identify leaking fluids into freshwater reservoirs  
    • Identify regional lateral flows and crossflows 
    • Differentiate fluid and gas flow and amount 
    • Identify annulus leaks for sealing with Renegade Local Expander technology so P&A can commence

    Renegade can use bond logs and casing inspection logs to identify, map and further explain spectral noise/digital temperature survey data.  

    Renegade Memory Gauges

    A producing wellbore creates a tremendous amount of information that must be gathered, managed and then interpreted. A variety of diagnostic tools can help you manage the production of your well and gain valuable insights into the processes that are occurring downhole. These tools provide the data that help operators to identify what systems to use to increase or maintain production and how to adapt to changing conditions of the wellbore. 

    Memory gauges are one of the most helpful tools for well diagnostics. They detect and measure temperature and pressure at points along the wellbore. These gauges are beneficial because they provide downhole information without requiring substantial resources.

    They also eliminate the need for deploying e-line each time temperature and pressure measurements are required.  Memory gauges are powered by a battery pack and can be set downhole and left for an extended period to capture and store data and then be retrieved at a later date. 

    • Data can be used to determine the flow rate of the well 
    • Provide information to help implement the right lift systems to maintain production  
    • Help devise a cost-effective and timely program to monitor and maintain the well production

    GunhandlerLAYDOWN – LIFT ASSIST TOOL 

    This highly efficient tool—fast becoming indispensable during wireline runs—increases productivity on-site and significantly decreases risk variables associated with operations. Not only is the strain on equipment alleviated but the equipment operators are no longer positioned under a suspended load. Gunhandler is actively being used on pads across the U.S. where crews have reported “feeling crippled when trying to operate without it.” 

    GUNHANDLER™ WAS DESIGNED BY WIRELINE HANDS FOR WIRELINE HANDS, TAKING THE OPERATOR OUT FROM BELOW SUSPENDED LOADS AND INTO A SAFER, LESS STRENUOUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT.

     

    Safety

    Regardless of the amount of safety training, there is still an element of risk during wellsite operations. Reduction in operator fatigue from the use of the Gunhandler™ is pivotal in creating a shop-caliber environment in the field. More focus is put back into service quality rather than heavy lifting. This higher service quality can lead to fewer gun-misfires, less stress on tools, unexpected modes of failure and longer tool life. 

    • No more manual dolly laydowns/manual lifts 
    • No more personnel under suspended loads 
    • Clearly defined “no-go” zone 
    • Safer, less strenuous gun building zone 
    • Backup, two-position butt-stock, ratcheting lock feature 
    • No damage to the cabling at the rope sockets 
    • Picking up the tool string from vertical positions eliminates all almost flex stress on the tool 
    • Compact design keeps areas near the wellhead clear – and allows more room to work 
    • One-person rig-up/down

     

    » Gunhandler compact design was made for the congested wellsite area.

    Features

    The Gunhandler was designed with the equipment operator in mind. The hydraulically actuated lift bunk ranges from horizontal to 80º and eliminates the need for manual dolly laydowns. Taking the operator out of the line of fire removes many of the risk variables associated with near-wellhead operations.The six-pad landing gear not only provides a stable footing for anchored operation but also creates a clearly defined “no-go” zone when lifting or laying down the toolstring.

    During Gunhandler operation, the two-position butt stock has a ratcheting lock feature for piece-of-mind, so tools remain secured and is spring-retained in the event that an operator forgets to ratchet it down before use. 

    • The waist high working surface gives the wireline ground crew a more comfortable and ergonomic working environment. 
    • Wing legs open at 45° and span a width of 18 ft providing near limitless adjust-ability, a no-go barrier and secure stabilization. 
    • Compact footprint at only 6 ft wide provides the most efficient use of the allotted square footage for the wireline working area. 
    • Fully extended to the 80˚ maximum lift, the equipment will stand 23 ft vertical height. 
    • Gunhandler takes only one crew member to setup, operate and prepare for travel. 
    • Jack-legs are rated to 8,000 lb and have an 18 in. travel 

    Increases in the number of stages completed per day can put added strain on operators and increase the risk for potential fatigue-related incidents. The increased frequency of rebuilding of guns is similar to the high volume of repair at the shop level. Gunhandler has an overall height of 42 in. and provides an ideal working height for the operator. Renegade is bridging the gap to assist our field operators by providing shop-like conditions at the wellsite. 

    INCREASED EFFICIENCY

    The compact design of the Gunhandler keeps areas near the wellhead clear and allows operators more room to work. Virtually no added room is needed to place Gunhandler into the work zone, yet it provides the functional capability of 23 ft of vertical support to the tool string. With an overall width of 6 ft, it has advantages over many other industry solutions and allows workers to easily reach tools without strain during a rebuild. 

    One-person rig-up/down makes the Gunhandler one of the simplest pieces of equipment to setup, run or transport. Variable speed control allows the operator to adjust the rate of the crane operation for maximum precision. 

    Reduction in operator fatigue is pivotal in creating a shop-caliber environment in the field. More focus is put back into service quality rather than heavy lifting. This higher service quality can lead to fewer gun-misfires, fewer unexpected modes of failure, and longer tool life.
