Optimization of Maintenance and Storage Strategy of CT Unit Based on Field LLs

There are a lot of field learnings that can potentially minimize the existing gaps in oil & gas industry standards and enhance safety levels of this hazardous environment. This paper will describe two different incidents in coiled tubing (CT) operations in BP Oman that led to optimization of maintenance for injector head and change in strategy of coiled tubing string storage. Both incidents were considered high-risk events, where one was an uncontrolled and sudden movement of coil into hole, and another one was a pin hole in coil during pumping.
