Published purpose

The MDT is being modified to be deployable on an electric wire line system. The system will use a 20 hp three phase electric motor, a variable frequency drive (VFD), a torque increasing/speed reduction gear box, three conductor wire line cable and be mounted on a wireline truck. The electric motor will rotate a threaded pin which will engage a threaded well on the MDT tool such that the pleated steel rings can be mechanically expanded to make contact with the well casing. The gear box pin material, thread design and the MDT well detailed design needs to be completed, the tool assembled and tested.
