Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0307266A1] The present invention relates to a method for operating specialised intervention equipment (10, 14, 16, 18) in a borehole (1) having at least one zone highly deviated from the vertical, said borehole comprising at least one first tubular conduit (3), along which said equipment is installed at a distance. It involves particularly the following steps: - a control member (21) is introduced into the first tubular conduit (3), - a cable (23) is fastened to one end of said member, - said control member (21) is lowered in said tubular conduit (3) by downward hydraulic pumping, - the travel of the cable in the tubular conduit is ensured from the surface, - the control member (21) is raised by pulling on the cable (21) from the surface, - said specialised equipment (10, 14, 16, 18) is operated selectively when the control member passes in line with said equipment while it is being lowered or raised. <IMAGE>
