Wireline Cable Mechanical Performance Model with Crawler Compensation

A mechanical analysis model for wireline cable performance in deep and complex wellbores, created by Liangjie Mao and last updated in May 2026. The model integrates factors like wellbore trajectory, cable service life degradation, and frictional resistance, and its predictions for cable axial load and run-in depth achieve errors within 5% compared to field data.

Use Cases

• Predicting cable run-in depth and safety factor based on cable diameter, tool string weight, run-in speed, and drilling fluid density.
• Controlling operational risk by relating cable usage cycles to safety factor for lifetime prediction.
• Optimizing logging parameters to prevent cable sticking and buckling in complex downhole conditions.
• Quantifying the net compensation needed from a crawler to prevent cable compression under varying operational factors.

Strengths

• Model predictions for cable axial load and run-in depth are validated to achieve errors within 5%.
• Quantifies the impact of specific operational variables: cable size, tool weight, speed, and fluid density.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific field cases used for model validation.
