Claim 0:
1. A method of reducing wireline cable differential sticking during a logging operation in a well borehole, comprising:
determining one or more aspects of the well borehole which may cause wireline cable differential sticking;
determining a desired number of low friction wireline standoffs based on the one or more aspects;
determining a desired spacing of each of the number of low friction wireline standoffs based on the one or more aspects;
installing each of the number of low friction wireline standoffs on a wireline to be used during the logging operation, wherein each of the low friction wireline standoffs are spaced apart along the wireline based on the desire spacing;
deploying the wireline to be used during the logging operation into the well borehole; and
reducing wireline cable differential sticking during the logging operation, wherein the reducing performed by one or more of the low friction wireline standoffs;
wherein at least one of the low friction wireline standoffs comprises adjacent opposing half shells, external wheels mounted on the opposing half shells, and cable inserts disposed in the opposing half shells;
further comprising the at least one low friction wireline standoff contacting the wireline cable by the cable inserts of the low friction wireline standoff; and
further comprising deforming the cable inserts around an outer armor of the wireline cable.
