Kinley tools are held in high regard within the industry. Many experienced operators will agree that Kinley is second to none. That's why Bonnett's Wireline Services Ltd. is proud to be the exclusive provider of Kinley products in Canada.

Kinley Cutter back to topThe Kinley "Sandline Cutter" cuts stuck lines or cable in almost any size of pipe from coiled tubing to casing and any line size from slicklines and e-lines to 1-1/8" O.D. anchor lines.
Bonnett's Wireline Services can give you the option of dropping a Kinley Sandline Cutter to save the line in one piece instead of trying to pull out of the rope socket or cable head or breaking the line at the surface. Frequently, the cost of the cutting job will be more than offset by the value of the saved line.
The line is cut mechanically by a cutting edge driven by a contained explosive force, initiated by an electronic timer rather than a drop bar. With the timer, there is no more guessing whether or not the drop bar has reached the firing pin. The tool is also designed to save a fishing trip by crimping on to the end of the cut line, allowing the cutter to be recovered with the freed line as it is pulled out of the hole.
The Kinley Sandline Cutter cuts swab lines, electric lines, slick lines, control lines, guide lines, drilling lines, anchor lines and even some small coiled tubing under certain conditions. Cuts as deep as 20,000 feet (over 6,000 meters) have been successful.
The Kinley Sandline Cutter can also save you time. Most Kinley Cutter jobs in tubing take about an hour or two. This is far more time and cost efficient than parting line, and then cutting the remaining line joint by joint as the tubing is pulled.
How does it work? The Bonnett's operator attaches the Kinley Cutter to the line. The cutter is grooved so it rides down the line to the top of the rope socket. A drop weight then is sent down after the cutter, which sets off the propellant charge, forcing the knife to cut the line. Both the cutter and drop weight have a fishneck for easy recovery.
Kinley also has an Electronic Time Delay Cable Cutter for use in wells where mud, sand, kinks or other obstructions may prevent the drop bar from hitting the cutter. It is also used in deviated wells where the drop bar may not strike the cutter hard enough to detonate the charge.

Kinley Perforator back to topWhen you need to punch a circulating hole or to install a check valve for low cost gas lift and chemical injection, Bonnett's has the perforator.
The Kinley Perforator punches a round, clean hole (from ¼" to ¾" diameter) or inserts a check valve (up to ¼" diameter) or orifice in the tubing. It is available for most sizes and weights of pipe and coiled tubing from 1.315" to 7" OD. It is safe to operate, using only a small Class C propellant charge. There is no danger of damaging the casing, as it punches a round hole instead of burning. The tool is even counter-balanced to always fire toward the high side of a deviated well, avoiding penetration of adjacent strings.
It can be used to punch a hole to circulate and kill the well, drain the tubing and prevent pulling out a wet string, circulate out annular sand bridges, open alternate zones when sliding sleeves can't be opened, or for plunger lift installations. It can also be used to install check valves or orifice inserts to provide a one-way flow for an inexpensive gas lift, chemical injection point, or to circulate hot oil for paraffin removal.
The Kinley Perforator performs at temperatures up to 160°C (320°F) and at pressures as high as 72,000 kPa (10,500 PSI) and runs on Slick Line or Electric Line. It can be used in any gas or fluid, and is H2S rated.
How does it work? On Slickline, the Bonnett's operator simply lowers the Kinley Perforator to the desired depth, and either locates a collar or sets down on a stop. A Jar up and then down will shear the safety pins and ignite the propellant charge. Expanding gas then activates a limited stroke mechanism to punch the hole or install the Check Valve. On Electric Line, it's even simpler. The Bonnett's operator runs the Kinley Perforator in the hole to the desired depth, then remotely activates the charge via the control panel in the truck.

Kinley Calipers back to topHow can you tell if your downhole pipe is in good condition? It could have pitting, rings, erosion, scaling, wear and deformities. The Kinley Downhole Caliper gives reliable information on the full extent of the corrosion in the pipe, and is more thorough than iron counts or coupons. It can determine the effectiveness of an inhibitor program throughout the tubing string, not just in one point. It can also find weak tubing that may part during workovers, and can monitor the rate of corrosion by running repeated surveys.Kinley Calipers
Kinley's Downhole Caliper combines a highly dependable, time-proven mechanical design with computer-generated reporting. All the feelers are recorded all the time. The readings are never sampled, giving you a very accurate profile of the pipe. It has no known H2S or pressure limit, and can handle temperatures as high as 288°C (550°F).
Kinley has several specialized Calipers for different applications.
To locate, measure, record and define deformities, the Kinley Deformed Pipe Caliper is best fit for the job. It measures and defines all forms of pipe deformity, shows the pipe centerline movement in 3D, and can be used to determine the maximum OD and length of tools that can pass through restrictions. It can even be run in horizontal wells on coiled tubing with no cable required.
For detecting and measuring casing wear caused by drill pipe rotation, or for finding corrosion, the Kinley Mega-Data Caliper is ideal. It's feelers are closely spaced for high-density coverage, and can be run in tandem for increased coverage.
Kinley's basic Caliper Survey report format consists of a Corrosion Profile (showing corrosion damage vs. well depth), Cross Sectional Drawings (illustrating the weakest areas in the well), a Pit Depth Rank Chart (estimates deepest pit and probability of a hole) and Joint Tabulation Sheets (detailing damage found in each joint).
It's easy to see why Kinley produces the most widely used calipers in the world today.
Kinley Recorders back to top
Plunger Lift Recorder
Our Plunger Lift Recorder was made to collect accurate information from a plunger lift well by modifying the existing plunger to accommodate an impact resistant electronic memory recorder.
Advantages:
Perforator Drop Bar Recorder
The Perforator Drop Bar Recorder was made to carry two Electronic Memory Recorders inside an enclosure that is dropped into a well to fire the Tubing Conveyed Perforating Guns (TCP drop bar firing head). The basis of design is to ensure that most of the impact is absorbed by shock absorbers, protecting the electronic gauges from the full shock of impact with the firing head and the re-coil impact from the guns detonating.
The drop bar assembly has a series of shock absorbers – one hydraulic and three springs. The combination of hydraulic and spring shock absorbers reduces or eliminates any severe vibration or shock on the gauge electronics to ensure that good quality pressure and temperature data is collected while the Drop Bar Assembly is traveling inside the tubing, just prior to impact, immediately upon impact and after impact.
In addition to the hydraulic and spring shock absorbers we have also installed 9 Rubber Finger Centralizers that keep the Drop Bar Assembly centered in the tubing and reduces the velocity of the Bar Assembly through the fingers rubbing against the tubing causing enough friction to reduce the over-all speed at which the bar drops and in turn reducing the severity of the impact on the firing head.
