Disclosed are wellbore electric cables, and methods of manufacturing such cables, and in one aspect, methods of manufacturing wireline composite slickline cables. Some embodiments are methods which include preparing a slickline cable by providing an inner metallic tube containing at least one conductor (such as an optical fiber), disposing an epoxy/fiber composite strength layer substantially upon the outer periphery of the inner metallic tube, and exposing the combination of the inner metallic tube and composite strength layer to at least one technique for minimizing the variation in diameter and providing a substantially uniform circular cross-sectional shape of the combination. Further, an outer metallic tube is draw around the combination of the composite strength member and the inner metallic tube, to form a wellbore slickline. Cables prepared using such methods are also disclosed.
