Coiled Tubing

An Easy Guide To Coiled Tubing
2

• Coiled Tubing is a long metal pipe that is
  surrounded or rolled over a large reel that is
  brought to the well site when any well repair or
  workover activities are to be performed. There
  are no joints in between the coiled tube which
  means that its a continuous long metal pipe that
  can be taken inside the borehole to the depth of
  up to 15000 feet.
• Coiled tubing has been a key technology in the
  hotbeds of activity for North American
  unconventional gas production, including shale,
  tight-gas sand, and coalbed methane wells.
  Worldwide, coiled-tubing units number more than
  1,700, about half in North America. Advancements
  in the last 10 years in manufacturing,
  inspection, and quality control methods are among
  the technologies that continue to help move CT
  forward.

Why Do Oilfield Services Companies Around The
World Are Choosing CTD Over Conventional Drilling
In Oil And Gas Recovery Worldwide?

• Coiled tubing oilfield technology was initially
  developed for working on live, producing wells.
• More recently, this technology has gained wider
  acceptance among operators for an expanding range
  of workover and drilling applications and for its
  ability to reduce overall costs.
• The trend toward extended-reach wells favors CT
  for its capability to drill or to convey tools
  and equipment in high-angle wellbores.
• Coiled tubing optimizes drilling across a wider
  array of well conditions and is a better option
  for horizontal wells.
• Coiled tubing operations yield higher levels of
  producibility, performance, well control, and
  safety, and shorter times to mobilize.

• Coiled tubing can help the operator avoid the
  risk of formation damage inherent in killing a
  well by allowing continuous circulation during
  well intervention operations.
• The additional advantages, including faster
  tripping time and rig-up/rig downtime, less
  weight-on-bit, and reductions in personnel and
  environmental impact associated with fewer
  cleanup activities.
• Proven time and again, these benefits translate
  to a smaller footprint with higher revenue for
  the operator, leading more operators to embrace
  and expand the opportunities for CTD market
  growth in coming years.
• The advantages of CT include existing completion
  tubular remaining in place, minimizing
  replacement expense for tubing and components.
