Coiled Tubing Equipment

Objective: Provide general knowledge of CT operations, CT equipment and it’s functional requirements, operational parameters and well control requirements. Coiled Tubing Unit is a portable, hydraulically powered service system which is designed to inject and retrieve a continuous string of tubing. Coiled tubing has become a popular technology in the petroleum industry. It can be used for a variety of tasks in oil and gas operations, such as drilling and well intervention. Compared to traditional methods, coiled tubing is cost-effective and versatile, making it become a preferable technique in upstream activity. Coiled tubing is widely used due to its ability to reach inaccessible areas in wells. What Is Coiled Tubing? In the petroleum industry, coiled tubing is a continuous metal pipe with no joints ranging from 1 to 3.25 inches (25 to 83 mm) in diameter conveniently supplied spooled on a large reel. This coiled tubing serves multiple purposes, including interventions in oil and gas wells and production tubing in depleted gas wells. What Is Coiled Tubing Operation? In the oil and gas sector, coiled tubing operation is a technique used for well intervention without using traditional drill pipes. It employs a continuous coil of tubing, typically made of steel or composite material, wound onto a large spool and then inserted into the wellbore. This method allows for various tasks to be performed in the wellbore efficiently. Coil tubing is sometimes needed when the well completion and workover are performed.
