Instrument Dynamic Controller


Instrument Dynamic Controller

The Instrument Dynamic Controller (IDC) is designed to prevent a PowerTrac® conveyed toolstring from moving when stopped in a wellbore with deviation greater than 90 degrees i.e. uphill. It is also used to prevent rotation of a tool string which is being orientated. The IDC is placed above the PowerTrac® and opened when on depth. The high grip pads then provide the additional friction that prevents uphole and downhole movement or angular rotation.

APPLICATION

  • Tractor conveyance in wells with deviation greater than 90 degrees
  • Orientation of perforating guns

 

FEATURES

  • Can be fitted with different profile contact pads for different casing diameters
  • Simple open and close function via multi-purpose panel
  • Shear pin overpull release to close arms in case of motor failure

 

BENEFITS

  • Conveyance and data quality assurance in wells with deviation greater than 90 degrees
  • Improved operational efficiency
