Downhole tools attached to a wireline are frequently used to perform well operations at a selected depth. However, the downhole tools may be placed at the incorrect depth if the well operator fails to account for creep, i.e. the movement of downhole tools after the wireline is stopped at the surface. This invention provides a method for determining when the well operator should account for creep. The invention further provides methods for determining the magnitude of creep when it is determined to be present. The subsequent positioning of downhole tools may be adjusted according to the magnitude of creep, thus preventing incorrect placement of downhole tools within the wellbore. The methods use equipment and logging data that are readily available during any wireline operation.
