Why Wireline 101 Exists

Too much hard-earned knowledge dies on location. Wireline 101 is my way to document the craft, decode the tech, and answer the questions manuals never cover—so crews execute cleaner and leaders decide faster.

Who’s Snell?

Field-first wireline + downhole imaging. I’ve run crews, owned results, and learned what actually holds up under pressure. These days I translate advanced tools into simple, repeatable execution—so teams can focus on doing the job right.

  • Plain language, clear expectations, no fluff
  • Uptime, safety, and communication above all else
  • Teach the "why," not just the steps
