Wireline standoffs (WLSOs) are precision mechanical clamps that attach to logging cable to suspend it above sticky zones.  

When Gaia's Wire-Pro® modelling identifies cable sticking risks, Wireline Standoffs (WLSO) can be deployed. Wireline standoffs (WLSOs) are arranged in arrays to cover the risk zones in the well. The number of standoffs is dependent on the number and size of the risk zones. Wireline Standoffs (WLSO) prevent cable sticking, and also reduce friction and ensure tension applied at surface can reach tools downhole.
