Hola a todos.

Quisiera saber qué es lo que en Venezuela se denomina "suabo" (en la jerga petrolera) y cómo se dice en inglés.

Ejemplos:
"válvula de suabo"
"Servicio de Suabo y Guaya Eléctrica Fina para Operaciones de Perforación ..." ("guaya" ya descubrí que es perforación)

A quien pueda dar una mano, muchísimas gracias.

SUABO - GUAYA
Swab - electrical wire


Explanation:
Es primera vez que participo en un foro de Proz.
No había escuchado el término "suabo". Sin embargo, conseguí esta definición en un sitio Web de una compañía venezolana. No sé si te ayude:
SERVICIO DE SUABO: Unidades utilizadas para recuperación de fluidos en pozos petroleros. Cada unidad cuenta con motores independientes y 12.000 pies de guaya 9/16, con una capacidad de recuperación de fluidos la cual depende del tipo de tubería y densidad del fluido que oscilan entre 800 y 1000 pies.
También conseguí esta combinación en un documento de una compañía colombiana que puede confirmarte la opción que te dieron arriba:
Operaciones de “suabeo”: Mandriles y copas (“Swab Cups”)
Sobre guaya, puedo decirte que se trata de una "degeneración" de /waIr/ (wire). Hace referencia también a un "steel cable"
Espero que esto te sirva de algo.
También encontré esto en un glosario de Schlumbeger:
wireline

1. adj. [Formation Evaluation] ID: 2967

Related to any aspect of logging that employs an electrical cable to lower tools into the borehole and to transmit data. Wireline logging is distinct from measurements-while-drilling (MWD) and mud logging.
2. n. [Well Workover and Intervention] ID: 4827

A general term used to describe well-intervention operations conducted using single-strand or multistrand wire or cable for intervention in oil or gas wells. Although applied inconsistently, the term commonly is used in association with electric logging and cables incorporating electrical conductors. Similarly, the term slickline is commonly used to differentiate operations performed with single-strand wire or braided lines.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gracias x la aclaración sobre "guaya". Ahora no recuerdo de donde saqué lo de "perforación", tal vez se me hayan cruzado los papeles.
