Abstract
A wireline system includes a control system, a downhole tool, and a wireline cable coupling the downhole tool and the control system. The wireline cable includes a plurality of conductors, which includes a core conductor and a concentric conductor disposed around the core conductor, wherein two of the plurality of conductors form a conductor pair, and wherein each of the plurality of conductors is configured to transmit power, data, or both, between the control system and the downhole tool. The wireline cable further includes one or more insulative layers, wherein at least one insulative layer is disposed between any two conductors.
Claims7
A method of manufacturing a concentric wireline cable, comprising:
- providing an insulated core conductor;
- helically wrapping a first conductive strip around the insulated core conductor to form a first conductor;
- helically wrapping an insulative strip around the first conductor to form a first electrically insulative layer, the first insulative strip comprising a magnetically permeable material.
