Coiled Tubing Operations & Technology

Introduction

Coiled Tubing is the process of running a reel of continuous tubing into a well that is still under pressure. Coiled Tubing equipment is portable and modular although modern reels are reaching high transport weights and offer quick rig-up times.

The maximum working depth of Coiled Tubing is usually determined by the amount of tubing that can be spooled onto a reel rather than the TVD. Highly deviated wells can cause problems with Coiled Tubing as, like wireline, gravity is required to keep the tubing moving down the well-bore. This can now be overcome to a certain extent with the use of downhole “tractors” which pull the coiled tubing from the bottom. Coiled Tubing can be used for a very wide range of jobs such as Nitrogen lifting wells, Clean-up operations, Spotting acid at the perforations, fishing operations, Spotting cement and PLT.

This training course will highlight:

  • Coiled Tubing Equipment
  • Well Control Equipment
  • Coiled Tubing application
  • Job design
  • Acidizing and stimulation techniques

Objectives

    By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:

    • Manage and execute Coiled Tubing interventions
    • Increase overall operational performance during Coiled Tubing interventions
    • Select the most commonly used downhole tools and explain their function
    • Work safely with liquid nitrogen

Training Methodology

The course is delivered in a combination of lecture-style and computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set aside for small working group activity when addressing case study problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.
