3. A method for reducing wireline cable drag and tension during wireline logging operations comprising:
coupling one or more wireline cased-hole standoffs (WCSOs) to a wireline cable, wherein the one or more WCSOs comprise:
a pair of cable insert halves;
a pair of opposing WCSO body halves;
a pair of outer low-friction shells configured to reduce friction between the WCSO and cased-hole; and
one or more fasteners, wherein the one or more fasteners are configured to couple the pair of cable insert halves, the pair of opposing WCSO body halves, and the pair of outer shells together onto the wireline cable; and
wherein the outer low-friction shells comprise end cutouts configured to engage a parting tool.
