Lubricating and inhibitor injection:
The cable goes through a specially designed housing with a liner and bushings fitted to the cable's diameter size. A compressor then injects a light oil which is a special corrosion inhibitor, it injects the oil to the cable inside the concealed housing, consequently, forcing the inhibitor to penetrate the surface of the outer armor and rest between the outer and inner armor wire layers, forming a seal that prevents corrosive chemicals and gases from penetrating your wireline.
The special light mineral oil used contains corrosion inhibitor package to provide total protection to the wireline cable during adverse operating conditions. This service is designed to protect the wireline cable from the effects of corrosive chemicals commonly found in down- production.
The oil protects the braided wireline cable against the corrosive effects of acids, caustics and most chemicals including H2s, CO2 and salt water, and form a seal around the inner armor to prevent salt water and other chemicals from resting between the armors.
