Abstract: Anchor assemblies for use on a downhole cable and processes for using same. In some embodiments, the anchor assembly can include a first anchor configured to be releasably connected to a second anchor. The first anchor can define a bore therethrough that can be configured to receive and permit a cable to move therethrough such that the cable can be connected to the second anchor. The second anchor can include one or more switchable magnets each configured to switch between a non-magnetized state and a magnetized state. When the anchor assembly is located within a downhole casing and the one or more switchable magnets are switched from the non-magnetized state to the magnetized state, the one or more switchable magnets can be configured to secure the second anchor to an inner surface of the downhole casing.

Abstract: Sensors for imaging boreholes via the detection of electrical and optical properties may be subject to harsh conditions downhole, such as from pressure and temperature. In addition, these sensors may be subject to impact, such as tension, elongation, and compression forces, along the wall of the borehole. The harsh conditions downhole and impacts on the sensor can lead to premature wear and even breaking. The present disclosure generally relates to an apparatus for measuring electrical and optical properties of the borehole and methods for manufacturing the apparatus.

Abstract: A fiber optic thread assembly configured with a cumulative gap for mechanical responsiveness and protection from micro-bend damage. The assembly may be incorporated into a wireline or slickline cable for obtaining fiber optic readings of enhanced accuracy during an application in a well. The gap is uniquely tailored to allow for a natural reduction during deployment of the cable into the well, thereby providing the enhanced accuracy. However, the gap is also sufficient to help avoid micro-bend damage from the resulting mechanical responsiveness, which is attained upon deployment of the cable into the well.

Abstract: Various cables for cable deployed electric submersible pumping systems and methods of manufacturing such cables are provided. The cable includes a power cable core and coiled tubing formed around the power cable core. The power cable core includes one or more conductors, insulation surrounding each conductor, and an elastomeric jacket extruded around the insulated conductors. Various mechanisms, systems, and methods are described to anchor the power cable core in the coiled tubing and to transfer weight from the power cable core to the coiled tubing.

Abstract: An apparatus or system comprising, or a method utilizing, a pressure-tight head assembly coupling a multi-conductor wireline cable operable for downhole operations within a borehole extending into a subterranean formation. The head assembly comprises: an upper head attachment; a lower head attachment; an upper compression seal assembly; a gripper cone; and a rope socket. The upper compression seal assembly is threaded into and/or otherwise coupled to the upper head attachment in a manner causing the gripper cone to tighten onto the cable jacket.
