  • a wireline 8 is connected with the first tool end 6 and is thus arranged closest to the top of the well.
  • the downhole tool 1 further comprises a wireline guide device 9 which is arranged around the wireline so that the wireline is slidably arranged within the wireline guide device 9.
  • the wireline guide device 9 is furthermore releasably attached to the tool.

  • a driving unit such as a downhole tractor
  • wheels 27 rotatably arranged on wheel arms 28 for driving the tool forward in the casing.
  • the wireline 8 is pressed towards a transition area 31 between the main casing and the lateral or an edge 29 formed by the connection between the main casing and the lateral.
  • the wireline guide device 9 As the wireline guide device 9 reaches the transition, the wireline guide device is seated in a guide position as shown in Fig. 1b in which the wireline guide device 9 is separated from the tool body 5, and the wireline guide device 9 guides the wireline 8 so that the
  • the wireline guide device 9 has a width w d which is larger than the second diameter of the lateral in the guide position, as shown in Fig. 1b , and the wireline guide device 9 is therefore not capable of entering the lateral and is thus left behind in the transition area 31.
  • the wireline guide device 9 comprises a first part 10 and a second part 11. The first part extends in a first direction and the second part extends in a second direction, defining an angle ⁇ between the first and the second parts. The first part is longer than the second part so that the wireline guide device is not forced into the lateral by the drag in the wireline as the tool moves into the lateral.
  • the first part 10 and the second part 11 are joined or manufactured with a fixed angle ⁇ , and the second part extends into the lateral but as the angle is fixed, the first part 10 is maintained outside the lateral.
  • the wireline guide device 9 is arranged fully surrounding the wireline, and as the tool moves into the lateral, the wireline slides in the wireline guide device 9 and is thus kept at a distance from the sharp edge 29 in the transition between the main casing 4 and the lateral 3.
  • the wireline guide device 9 is forced upwards by the first end of the tool body 5, and the wireline guide device is therefore not left behind when the tool is retracted from the well.
  • the wireline guide device 9 has the shape of a hollow cone, thus matching the shape of the first end of the tapering tool body as shown in Fig. 2a .
  • the wireline guide device 9 has a through-going opening 32 in which the wireline 8 extends, and the opening has a diameter which is larger than a diameter of the wireline 8, so that the wireline can easily slide within the wireline guide device 9.
  • the wireline guide device When transported down through the main casing, the wireline guide device is in its transport position and kept in connection with the first end 6 of the tool body 5. As the tool moves into the lateral 3, as shown in Fig.
  • the wireline guide device 9 is, due to its larger width, prevented from entering the lateral 3 and is left behind, and the wireline 8 slides through the through-going opening 32. As illustrated by the dotted lines, the wireline guide device 9 may also be tilted. However, due to its shape, the wireline guide device cannot enter the lateral in the tilted position either.
  • the wireline guide device 9 has a transport position, shown in Fig. 3a , and a guide position, shown in Fig. 3b , and the wireline guide device 9 has a first width w d1 in the transport position and a second width w d2 in the guide position and the expanded position.
  • the first width w d1 is smaller than the second width w d2 so that the downhole tool 1 is capable of passing restrictions down the main casing 4, while the wireline guide device 9 is unable to enter the lateral 3 since the width w d of the wireline guide device 9 in the expanded position is larger than the second diameter of the lateral 3.
  • the wireline guide device 9 is inflated by means of a pump 33 in the tool just before the tool enters the lateral 3.
  • the opening in the wireline guide device may be conical so that the wireline 8 can run through the wireline guide device without significantly bending, as illustrated with dotted lines.
  • the lateral 3 is located by a lateral locator 24 having a sensor 34 for detecting the lateral.
  • the lateral locator 24 projects a locator arm 35, and approximately simultaneously an activation means 25 activates the wireline guide device 9 which is inflated to its second width w d2 .
  • the locator arm in its projected position will force the tool 1 to move into the lateral 3 as the tool moves forward in the casing.
  • the first width of the wireline guide device 9 is equal to or smaller than the tool width, so that the wireline guide device does not prevent the downhole tool 1 from moving forward in the main part 4 of the casing until the tool locates the lateral into which the tool should enter.
  • the wireline guide device 9 comprises an inflatable element 36 arranged around a wireline guide device body in which the wireline 8 slides when the wireline guide device 9 is seated in the opening 37 of the lateral 3 as shown in Fig. 3b .
  • the opening 37 of the lateral 3 is in most wells larger than illustrated in the drawings since the angle between the lateral and the main casing is smaller.
  • the wireline guide device 9 comprises a guide body part 14 and at least a first arm 15 and a second arm 16, the arms being projectable from the tool body towards the casing.
  • the wireline guide device 9 has a projected position or a guide position as shown in Figs. 4a and 4b , and a transport position in which the wireline guide device 9 may vary in width in relation to the guide position.
  • the first and second arms each comprises a first arm part 17 and a second arm part 18, and the first and second arm parts each has a first arm part end 19 and a second arm part end 20.

  • the first arm parts 17 are slidably connected with the guide body part 14 in a groove 38 in the body part as illustrated with dotted lines in Fig. 4a .
  • the guide body part 14 may comprise a first body part 39 and a second body part 40, the first body part being displaceably connected with the second body part, as shown in Fig. 4c .
  • the first body part 39 is threadingly connected with the second body part 40 by means of a threaded shaft 41 which may be rotated by a motor in the tool.
  • the wireline guide device 9 has an outer face 21, and a magnet 22 forming part of the outer face 21.
  • the magnet 22 is an electromagnet which is activated when the tool 1 is near the lateral 3, and as the tool 1 enters the lateral 3, the magnet 22 comes closer to the casing 3 and is thus able to attach to the metal casing as shown in Fig. 5b .
  • the wireline guide device 9 is disconnectable from the tool body 5 by means of a contact 23, and the contact is either an electronic contact or a mechanical contact as shown in Fig. 5a .
  • the tool body 5 comprises an activation means 25 for activating the contact in order to release the wireline guide device 9 from the tool body.
  • the activation means 25 may activate the contact when the locator arm 35 of the lateral locator 24 "hits" against the lateral, and thus a reaction force is created which can activate the contact.
  • the wireline guide device 9 is arranged around the wireline, and as the tool 1 is retracted from the casing, the first end 6 of the tool body 5 contacts the wireline guide device 9 and deactivates the magnet 22 which releases from the casing and thus is retracted with the tool 1.
  • the wireline guide device 9 comprises a first part 10 and a second part 11, each part having a first part end 44 and a second part end 45 and the first part ends being connected and defining an angle ⁇ between the parts.

  • the first part 10 is, in the transport position, connected with the tool body 5 and held in contact by an electromagnet 46.
  • the wireline guide device 9 comprises a spring 47 which is arranged in the connection between the first part 10 and the second part 11 for ensuring that the angle ⁇ is larger than 30° when the electromagnet 46 no longer holds the first part 10 in contact with the tool body 5. The first part 10 is thus forced away from the second part 11 by means of the spring 47 when the first part is released.
  • the first part 10 and the second part 11 are extendable in a longitudinal direction 51 thereof.
  • the first part 10 and the second part 11 comprise a spring 50 (illustrated with dotted lines) for extending the first part and the second part in the longitudinal direction 51. In another embodiment, only the first part is extendable.
  • Contacts 52 (illustrated with dotted lines) hold the first part 10 and the second part 11 in their retracted positions as shown in Fig. 7 , and upon release, the spring forces an extendable part 53 away from a main part 54 of the first and second parts.
  • the spring is arranged within the parts. The contact may be activated upon location of the lateral.
  • the second end of the first and second parts has a rounded shape.
