• E-lines consists of single strands or multi-strands. E-Line is a more value-added deployment method, as it covers both requirements, i.e. it can intervene on a mechanical level and collect data about well conditions too.
• The market for E-Line wire-line services has been growing, as there are a higher number of old wells (conventional) across the globe that require intervention and monitoring. In addition, a number of down-hole tools that were previously deployed by coiled tubing can now be deployed using E-Line, which is more cost-effective.
