Abstract

A stroker device for use in a borehole in the ground includes an actuator arranged for displacing a tool in a longitudinal direction of the borehole, and grippers arranged to anchor the stroker to the wall of the borehole, alternatively to a pipe wall, wherein the stroker is provided with driving wheels or driving belts for propulsion.

Claims (8)

1. A stroker device for use in a borehole located in the ground, said stroker device comprising:

an actuator having a actuator being arranged to displace a tool in a longitudinal direction of the borehole;

a gripper module with grippers being forced to a wall of the borehole or pipe wall to prevent displacement of the stroker device;

a propulsive module having a first and a second set of driving wheels being mutually rotated approximately 90 degrees about the longitudinal axis of the stroker device for driving the stroker device to an operation location;

a hydraulic module for commonly supplying hydraulic pressure fluid to the actuator, the grippers and the propulsive module;

a control module for commonly controlling at least the grippers and the propulsive module simultaneously; and

a power module for commonly supplying power to at least the grippers and the propulsive module.

2. The stroker device according to claim 1 wherein displacement of the stroker device to the work location does not require connecting a wireline tractor to the stroker device.
