What sort of cable?

Does someone actually descend by cable - I can't imagine, or is this simply an electric cable connected to some sort of sensor?

wireline or wire rope
Explanation:

please check definitions , and decide which one fits


Wire rope
A cable composed of steel wires twisted around a central core of fibre or steel wire to create a rope of great strength and considerable flexibility. Wire rope is used as drilling line (in rotary and cable-tool rigs), coring line, servicing line, winch line, etc. It is often called cable or wireline. However, wireline is a single slender metal rod, usually very flexible. Compare wireline.


Wireline
A small-diameter metal line used in wireline operations; also called slick line. A system in which a flexible cable and reel is used to lower log or maintenance equipment down a well, rather than a rigid drill string, with considerable savings of equipment, manpower and time.

findings

Bien que l'on puisse les considérer comme des opérations d'entretien, citons aussi les opérations de test des dispositifs de sécurité de subsurface et de surface.
1.1.2 Dans le tubing
C'est principalement le calibrage pour vérifier qu'une opération de travail au câble (telle que la descente d'un enregistreur, ...) est possible ou vis à vis d'un problème de corrosion ou de dépôt.
Dans les puits en gas-lift, on peut aussi réaliser une thermométrie à l'aide d'un enregistreur mécanique pour vérifier le bon fonctionnement des vannes.

1.2.3 Interventions en fond de puits et sur la liaison couche-trou
Ce sont les opérations que l'on peut réaliser à ce niveau là :
soit au câble comme le "nettoyage" du fond du puits avec une cuillère à sédiment, la réalisation de perforations complémentaires, ....
soit par pompage depuis la surface, comme un lavage des perforations à l'acide, ... (mais cela nécessite de réinjecter tout l'effluent du puits dans la formation).

wireline n: a slender, rodlike or threadlike piece of metal usually small in diameter, that is used for lowering special tools (such as logging sondes, perforating guns, and so forth) into the well. Also called slick line.
