Slickline Basics.51 60

Lead impression blocks are used to determine the type and orientation of objects stuck in wells. They provide information on the profile and orientation of obstructions by creating impressions in the blocks when run downhole. However, experience is required to properly interpret the recovered impressions. Downhole cameras can also transmit images to identify fish, but they require clean fluid and have temperature and time limitations, making the service expensive. It is best to set lead impression blocks only once to avoid confusing the imprint.

Set down once and retrieve. Multiple set downs only
confuse the imprint.
Also known as a confusion block - generally for good
reason.
