Nitrogen Properties & Uses

Nitrogen Properties & Uses


Nitrogen makes up approximately 78% of the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen gas is an inert
gas that is both colorless and odorless with a density of 0.0724 pounds / scf (at 14.7psia and
60F). In 1959, when techniques for using liquid nitrogen were developed, nitrogen made its
introduction into the oilfield. Nitrogen is converted into a liquid (along with oxygen) through a
gas separation and liquification plant. The liquid nitrogen (LN2) is considered a cryogenic
material. Cryogenics is a term used for materials at -150F or colder.

Temperature Characteristics
At atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia), liquid nitrogen will "boil" at -320.5F. In other words, it
begins to vaporize to a gas above -320.5F.
LN2 boiling point = -320.5F at 14.7 psia
The critical temperature (where all properties of the coexisting vapor and liquid phases
become identical) = -232.8F

Volume Characteristics
If you had one gallon of liquid nitrogen (at atmospheric pressure) and allowed it to vaporize
entirely into gas, you would then have 93.11 scf (standard cubic feet) of nitrogen gas. Standard conditions are considered to be at 14.7 psi (1 atmosphere) pressure and 70F.
Our conversion tables tell us that one gallon is equal to 0.1337 cubic feet. Our one gallon of
liquid nitrogen is also 0.1337 cubic feet of liquid nitrogen. If it is allowed to entirely vaporize
to a gas (at 14.7 psi and 70F), you would still end up with 93.11 scf of gas. This is equivalent to 696.5 gallons of gas. Remember, 93.11 cf / 0.1337 cf/gallon = 696.5 gallon.

Nitrogen Properties & Uses

Safety
Wear protective clothing to cover as much of the body as possible.

Safety goggles
Thermal or leather gloves
Long sleeve shirts
Cuffless trousers (don't stick your pants in your boots)

Avoid skin contract. Liquid nitrogen is hazardous. Contact with


human tissue will destroy the tissue in a manner similar to high
temperature burns. Freeze burns will result from contact with the
actual liquid or contact with the cold surfaces of piping and
equipment containing the liquid.
Liquid nitrogen causes immediate damage to your eyes.
damage is usually beyond repair.

Eye

A well ventilated work environment is essential. Without proper


ventilation, nitrogen can displace oxygen to cause dizziness,
unconsciousness, or even death when inhaled.

First Aid
1. Remove any clothing that may restrict blood circulation to the affected body area.
2. Do not rub the affected area as this may cause further tissue damage.
3. Apply cold compresses if possible.
4. Get to a physician for treatment.

Oilfield Applications

Freeing stuck drill pipe


Drill stem testing
Enhance perforating
Nitrogen fracs
Unload fluids from a well
Inhibit tubulars
Nitrogen acid treatments
Displace fluids down tubulars
Set hydraulic packers
Pipeline purging, cleaning, and testing
Gas lift
Cementing
Pressure testing

Treating Iron
Carbon steel becomes brittle at approximately -40F. Allowing LN2 or nitrogen gas at this
temperature in the carbon steel treating iron is one of the most dangerous mistakes an operator can make. When this occurs, any shock could cause treating iron to break like glass.
Carbon Steel cannot withstand rapid contraction. Nitrogen can shrink the inside of treating
iron faster than the outside of the treating iron causing it to separate.

question. Depth can be measured from the downhole end of a string, but
depth is not related to string position.

with coiled tubing. Some operators recommend a different freeboard for
each coiled tubing diameter. The more freeboard, the less the reel capacity.

-GGate Valve

vertical well, helical buckling begins as soon as any compressive load is
applied. The helix introduces additional bending stresses and friction, which
can lead to lockup.

Helical Buckling Load

the downhole end of the tubing to stop moving into the well, even though tubing may still be entering the well at the surface. If this occurs, the bottom of
the well cannot be reached and the job cannot be performed with the existing
configuration.

-MMeasured Depth
The current depth of the tubing following the trajectory of the well as indicated by the depth counter at the surface. The actual depth may be slightly
less due to buckling. Note that measured depth is different from True Vertical
Depth.

Minimum Wall

when engaged, prevent movement of the coiled tubing but do not isolate
pressure or control flow.

Snubbing
* Condition for working coiled tubing through an energized stripper, where
wellbore pressure applied against the cross-sectional area of the tube creates an upward acting force greater than the weight of the tubing in the
wellbore. In this condition mechanical assistance is required to apply thrust
to the tubing while injecting or to maintain control of the tubing when
extracting. This condition is commonly called pipe-light operations.

of 300 to 1,000 pounds of force.

Stripping
* Condition for working coiled tubing through an energized stripper where
wellbore pressure applied against the cross-sectional area of the tube creates an upward acting force less than the weight of the tubing in the wellbore. In this condition mechanical assistance is required to support the
tensile load of the tubing and maintain control when injecting or extracting.
This condition is commonly called pipe-heavy operations.

Surface Weight

The columns in the following tables are defined as:
Outside Diameter

Nominal OD of the CT

Wall Thickness Nominal

Nominal wall thickness

Wall Thickness Minimum

Minimum wall thickness

Weight

Weight of the CT per unit length

Yield Load

Axial load at which new straight CT will yield with


no internal or external pressure. See the Stress
Limits description for pressure correction. Axial
load is not the same as weight read on a weight
indicator. See the Stress Limits description for
clarification.

Yield Pressure

Internal pressure at which yielding begins in new


straight pipe with no axial load applied

Yield Torque

Torque at which new straight CT will yield with no


internal or external pressure, and no axial load
applied

Elastic Stretch

The amount of elastic stretch for new straight CT


of a certain length (1,000 ft. or 1,000 m) when a
certain axial load is applied (1,000 lb. or 1,000 kg.)

Collapse Pressure Fa = 0

External pressure at which new straight CT with


0%, 2% and 4% ovality will collapse with no internal pressure and no axial load

Collapse Pressure Fa = Fy/2

External pressure at which new straight CT with


0%, 2% and 4% ovality will collapse with no internal pressure and a tensile axial load of half the
yield load

Equations
The cross sectional area of the steel is:

A = ( ro2 ri 2 )
The yield load is:

Fy = A y
The yield pressure assuming the minimum wall thickness is:

Py =

y tmin
ro

Pipe Data Tables & Charts


Coiled Tubing Performance Data

The yield torque for steel is:

Ty =

0.5773 y ro4 ( ro tmin )

2ro

The elastic stretch for CT that has never been bent is:

af =

Fa L
AE

The ovality is defined as:

ro max ro min
ro

The collapse calculation is based on the equations in reference 1. Due to their length these
equations are not reproduced in this handbook.

Nomenclature
A

= cross sectional area of the CT wall = Ao - AI

AI

= internal cross sectional area of CT = ri2

Ao

= external cross sectional area of CT = ro2

= modulus of elasticity - 27 x 106 psi used for tables

Fy

= axial yield load of the CT

= length of the CT section

Py

= internal pressure required to yield the CT

rI

= internal radius of the CT

ro

= nominal external radius of the CT

ro-max = the largest radius for oval tubing


ro-min = the smallest radius for oval tubing
t

= nominal wall thickness of the CT = ro-rI

tmin = minimum wall thickness of the CT


Ty

= yield torque

af = stretch due to axial force

= ovality of the CT

Drill Pipe Yield Strength & Pressure

Drill Pipe Yield Strength & Pressure


The following tables contain the sizes, volumes, displacements, torsional and tensile yield
strengths, internal pressures and collapse pressures for new and used drill pipe (DP) of different grades. Upsets and couplings are not considered in these calculations.

Equations
The following equations are used in any consistent units. The values must then be converted to the units shown in the tables.
The internal volume is:

(1)
The external displacement is:

(2)
The tensile yield strength is:

P = Ym A

(3)

The torsional yield strength is:

0.096167 JYm
Do

Q=

(4)

The internal pressure is:

Pi =

2Ymt
Do

(5)

For new drill pipe the nominal wall thickness t in equation (4) is multiplied by the factor
0.875 due to permissible wall thickness tolerance of minus 12.5 percent.
For used drill pipe, replace

Do

by

Do

and

by

t * in the above equations as per the

following table.

The collapse pressure calculation is based on the equations in reference 1. As the equations
are lengthy, they are not reproduced in this handbook.

Nitrogen
Calculations

Nitrogen
Calculations
The density of nitrogen at a given temperature and pressure is:

MP
ZRT

Once the constants and unit conversions are included, this equation can be written for
English units as:

( scf / bbl ) =

198.6 P( psia )
Z (460+ F )

In metric units it can be written as:

( sm3 / m3 ) =

2.8416 P( kPa )
Z (273+ C )

These densities are the "volume factors" in the following tables. Note that both of these densities express the weight or mass as a "standard" volume. Standard conditions are defined
as atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia or 1 atm) and 60 F or 15 C. SCF stands for standard
cubic feet and scm or sm3 stands for standard cubic meters.
The Pressure vs. Depth for a Well Filled with Nitrogen graphs were based upon a surface
temperature of 70F (21C) and a gradient of 1.6F per 100 ft. (2.92C per 100 meters).
Variations in the well temperature from these values make relatively small changes in the
pressures.
The following examples show how the graphs in this section can be used to solve nitrogen
problems.
Example 1 E
How much nitrogen is required to fill a 12,500 ft. reel of 2" OD X 0.156" wall CT to 3,500 psia
at an average temperature of 75 F?
1. From the Coiled Tubing Volumes and Displacements table in the Pipe Sizes, Volumes and Displacements section of this handbook, read the internal volume for this
size 2.768 bbls/1,000 ft.
2. Multiply this value by 12.5 thousand feet to obtain a total volume of 34.6 bbls
3. Using the Volume Factor - Medium Pressure graph, read the volume factor as 1,200
SCF/bbl
4. Multiply the volume of the reel by the volume factor to obtain 41,520 SCF. This is the
amount of nitrogen needed.

Nitrogen
Calculations

Example 1 M
How much nitrogen is required to fill a 3,810 m reel of 50.8mm OD X 3.962mm wall CT to
24,100 kPa at an average temperature of 24 C?
1. From the Coiled Tubing Volumes and Displacements table in the Pipe Sizes, Volumes and Displacements section of this handbook, read the internal volume for this
size 1.4438 liters/m which is the same as 1.4438 m3/1,000m.
2. Multiply this value by 3.81 thousand meters to obtain a total volume of 5.5m3
3. Using the Volume Factor - Medium Pressure graph, read the volume factor as 221
scm/m3.
4. Multiply the volume of the reel by the volume factor to obtain 1,215 scm. This is the
amount of nitrogen needed.
Example 2 E
The same reel of CT as Example 1 E is being used to place nitrogen in a well. The CT will
be run to 7,500 ft. Nitrogen will be pumped until the pressure at the end of the CT reaches
3,500 psia, filling both the well tubular, which is 3.5" 12.95 lb/ft. EU tubing and the CT.
1. From the Tubing Sizes, Volumes and Displacements table in the Pipe Sizes, Volumes and Displacements section of this handbook, read the internal volume for this
size tubing as 7.35 bbls/1,000 ft.
2. Multiply this value by the depth of 7.5 thousand feet to obtain a well volume of 55.125
bbls.
3. From the Coiled Tubing Volumes and Displacements table in the Pipe Sizes, Volumes and Displacements section of this handbook, read the internal volume for this
coiled tubing size as 2.768 bbls/1,000 ft. and the external displacement as 3.886
bbls/1,000 ft.
4. Multiply these values by 7.5 thousand feet to obtain a internal volume of 20.76 bbls
and the external displacement as 29.145 bbls.
5. The total volume in the well to be filled with nitrogen is 55.125 - 29.145 + 20.76 =
46.74 bbls.
6. From the Pressure vs. Depth for a Well Filled with Nitrogen graph, find the point
where the pressure is 3,500 psia at 7,500 ft. of depth. Follow the curves upward to
read an approximate surface pressure of 2,750 psia.
7. The average pressure is (3,500 + 2,750)/2 = 3,125 psia.
8. The estimated bottom hole temperature is 70F + 1.6 * 75 hundred feet = 190F. The
average temperature is (190 + 70)/2 = 130F.
9. The Volume Factor for this average temperature and pressure is approximately 950
scf/bbl.
10. Multiplying this volume factor by the well volume from step 5 yields a nitrogen
requirement of 44,400 scf.
11. For the remaining 5,000 ft. of CT on the reel assume the pressure will be the same
as the wellhead pressure which is 2,750 psia, and the temperature is 75F. Using
the Volume Factor - Medium Pressure graph, read the volume factor as 990 scf/bbl.
The volume of this section of the coiled tubing is 2.768 * 5 thousand feet = 13.84
bbls.
12. Multiply the volume of this section by the volume factor to obtain 13,700 scf.
13. The total nitrogen required is 13,700 + 44,400 = 58,100 scf

Nitrogen
Calculations

Example 2 M
The same reel of CT as Example 1 M is being used to place nitrogen in a well. The CT will
be run to 2,285 m. Nitrogen will be pumped until the pressure at the end of the CT reaches
24,100 kPa, filling both the well tubular, which is 88.9mm 19.27 kg/m EU tubing and the CT.
1. From the Tubing Sizes, Volumes and Displacements table in the Pipe Sizes, Volumes and Displacements section of this handbook, read the internal volume for this
size tubing as 3.832 liters/m which is the same as 3.832 m3 per 1,000 meters.
2. Multiply this value by the depth of 2.285 thousand meters to obtain a well volume of
8.756 m3.
3. From the Coiled Tubing Volumes and Displacements table in the Pipe Sizes, Volumes and Displacements section of this handbook, read the internal volume for this
coiled tubing size as 1.4438 liters/m and the external displacement as 2.0268 liters/
m.
4. Multiply these values by 2.285 thousand meters to obtain a internal volume of 3.3 m3
and the external displacement as 4.631 m3.
5. The total volume in the well to be filled with nitrogen is 8.756 - 4.631 + 3.3 = 7.425
m3.
6. From the Pressure vs. Depth for a Well Filled with Nitrogen graph, find the point
where the pressure is 24,100 kPa at 2,285 m of depth. Follow the curves upward to
read an approximate surface pressure of approximately 19,000 kPa.
7. The average pressure is (24,100 + 19,000)/2 = 21,550 kPa.
8. The estimated bottom hole temperature is 21C + 2.92 * 2.2.85 hundred meters =
88C. The average temperature is (88 + 21)/2 = 55C.
9. The Volume Factor for this average temperature and pressure is approximately 170
sm3/m3.
10. Multiplying this volume factor by the well volume from step 5 yields a nitrogen
requirement of 1,262 sm3.
11. For the remaining 1,525 m of CT on the reel assume the pressure will be the same
as the wellhead pressure which is 1,900 kPa, and the temperature is 24C. Using
the Volume Factor - Medium Pressure graph, read the volume factor as 175 sm3/
m3. The volume of this section of the coiled tubing is 1.4438 * 1.525 thousand
meters = 2.2 sm3/m3.
12. Multiply the volume of this section by the volume factor to obtain 385 sm3.
13. The total nitrogen required is 385 + 1,262 = 1,647 sm3

Coiled Tubing Stress Limits

Coiled Tubing Stress Limits


Three factors cause stresses in the CT:

Internal pressure (PI)

External pressure (Po)

Axial force (Fa)

There are other internal residual stresses in the CT from the manufacturing and plastic
bending. Currently these residual stresses are ignored when determining the CT limits,
though research is ongoing to include these residual stresses in the limits calculations.
Torque is also an external force which is being ignored for these stress limits.
The three principle stresses due to these factors are:

Axial Stress - The axial stress is caused by the axial force (tension or compression)
applied to the CT. If the compressive force exceeds the helical buckling load, the
CT forms a helix in the hole. The helix causes an additional axial bending stress in
the CT.

Radial Stress - The radial stress at a given location in the CT wall is the stress
through the CT wall due to inner and outer pressures. The radial stress is the least
of the three stresses and is often ignored in stress calculations.

Tangential or Hoop stress - The hoop stress at a given location in the CT wall is the
stress around the circumference of the CT due to inner and outer pressures.

These three stresses are combined using the Von Mises Yield Criterion to determine what
pressure and axial force combinations will cause the CT to yield. Thus the limits are set
based upon incipient yield in the same manner used for other oil country tubular goods.
To simplify the limits curve, two of the three forces are combined by calculating the pressure
difference DP = PI - Po. Though this simplification makes it easier to plot the limit curve, it is
important to consider the implications of this simplification as will be discussed later for each
point of the curve.
The following figure shows an example curve based on the Von Mises yield criterion.

For the right half of the curve, Fa>0, the CT is in tension.

For the left half of the curve, Fa<0, the CT is in compression.

For the top half of the curve, DP>0, so PI > Po. making this the burst portion of the
curve.

For the bottom half of the curve, DP<0, so PI > Po, making this the collapse portion of
the curve.

When the CT is in compression, it is assumed that the CT is buckled into a helical shape.
The additional axial bending stress causes the limits to be reduced. Exceeding these
reduced limits will corkscrew the CT.
The axial force, Fa, discussed here is different from the weight as measured by the weight
indicator. The weight can be converted to the axial force as follows:

Fa = Weight + Pi A i

This handbook provides values for points Py, Fy and C through G from this limit curve.
Each or these point is discussed in detail below.

Point Py. The pressure for point Py is given in the Coiled Tubing Performance tables
under the Yield Pressure column. The equation for this value is given in the description for
that table. This calculation assumes that Po = 0. Calculations with larger values of Po yield
similar results.
Point Fy. The axial force for point Fy is given in the Coiled Tubing Performance tables
under the Yield Load column. The equation for this value is given in the description for that
table. This calculation assumes that PI = Po = 0. Note that DP is 0 whenever PI = Po. Let's
assume both pressures have the value P. As P increases, the axial force required to yield
the CT decreases. Thus, the value from the table is not conservative. For an accurate value
at high pressures modify Fy as follows:

Fy p = Fy PA
Points C and D. These points, given in the Coiled Tubing Performance tables in the
Collapse Pressures columns, were not calculated using the Von Mises incipient yield criterion. Instead they are calculated using the collapse equations given in the reference for that
table. The points shown in the above figure are for the 0% ovality case with 0 and Fy/2
loads. Note that they do agree well with the Von Mises criterion which was used to generate
the curve. Since all used CT has some ovality, the 2% or 4% ovality numbers should be
used in actual practice.

Pipe Data Tables & Charts


Coiled Tubing Stress Limits

Point E. The Po value, assuming PI = 0 is found by multiplying the appropriate value from
the following table by the yield strength of the CT. For English units, multiply the value from
the table by the yield strength in psi to obtain the value of Po in psi. For Metric units multiply
the value in the table by the yield strength in MPa to obtain the value of Po in MPa. As the
value of PI increases, the amount of negative differential pressure the CT can withstand
decreases. Thus, values from this table are not conservative. As the internal pressure
increases the collapse differential pressure decreases. Also, these values do not account
for ovality.
Point F. The axial compressive force value which will cause the CT to yield into a corkscrew when PI = Po = 0 can be found by multiplying the value in the attached table by the
yield strength. For English units, multiply the value from the table by the yield strength in psi
to obtain the compressive force in pounds. For Metric units, multiply the value from the table
by the yield strength in MPa to obtain the compressive force in MN. Increasing the PI and Po
pressure values to a higher pressure, P, has a minimal impact upon this compressive force.
Point G. The PI value, assuming Po = 0 is found by multiplying the appropriate value from
the following table by the yield strength of the CT. For English units, multiply the value from
the table by the yield strength in psi to obtain the value of PI in psi. For Metric units multiply
the value in the table by the yield strength in MPa to obtain the value of PI in MPa. Increasing the Po value has a minimal impact upon the burst differential pressure the pipe can withstand.
Safety Factors. There are several factors which are not taken into consideration in the
calculation of these stress limits:

Diametrical changes occur during the life of the CT, usually resulting in increases in
the CT diameter.

The effective yield stress of the CT decreases during the life of the CT due to plastic
fatigue.

Wall thinning tends to occur during the life of the CT due to corrosion, elongation and
diametrical growth.

As mentioned previously, residual stresses from the plastic bending of the CT are ignored in
these limits calculations.
No safety factors have been included in any of the yield stress limits in this handbook. Typically the industry uses 80% of the yield stress limit for the working limit. The results in a factor of safety of 1.25. Each company must decide what safety factor they will use.

Coiled Tubing Fatigue

Coiled Tubing Fatigue


In a typical application CT experiences 3 bending and 3 unbending events in one trip into
and out of a well:
1. Unbending off of the reel,
2. Bending over the guide arch (while RIH),
3. Unbending off of the guide arch (RIH),
4. Bending over the guide arch (while POOH),
5. Unbending off of the guide arch (when POOH),
6. Bending onto the reel.
Note that 4 of these bending events involve the guide arch and 2 involve the reel. Thus, in a
typical situation, more fatigue damage is done at the guide arch than at the reel.
The primary factors that affect the fatigue life are:

CT diameter

CT material

CT wall thickness

pressure in the CT while it is being bent

welds in the CT

radius of bending at the reel

radius of bending at the guide arch

tension in the CT while bending

rotation of the CT between bends

CT surface finish, internal and external

previous fatigue history

Calculating the fatigue life is very complex, and thus must be done with computer modeling.
Three major fatigue models have been developed to determine the fatigue life of CT.
These models have been developed by:
S. Tipton University of Tulsa
V. Avakov Halliburton
BJ/Nowsco
The model developed by Tipton is used in the CTES Cerberus (non-Halliburton) software
and the Schlumberger Dowell software. The Avakov model is used in the CTES Cerberus
(Halliburton), Maurer and Medco software. The BJ/Nowsco model is exclusive to BJ.
This section includes a series of graphs produced using the Tipton model in the CTES Cerberus software. These graphs show the number of trips to failure. In a trip, the section
of CT of interest experiences the 3 bending and 3 unbending events listed above. Failure
for most of these graphs is defined as crack initiation, when the first cracking would begin
to occur in the surface of the CT material. The Varying Failure Criterion graph shows a
comparison of this crack initiation failure criterion with a pressure loss failure criterion
where the crack has propagated through the wall thickness and pressure is lost through a
pin-hole or through crack. No safety factor has been included in these graphs.
These graphs provide a qualitative understanding of the fatigue life and how it varies as the
various parameters are varied. In actual field operations, the pressure is not constant for the
entire life of the CT. Thus these graphs cannot be used to determine the actual life of a section of CT used in the field. The computer models must be used to determine the actual
fatigue life.

Depth Correction & Stuck Point

Depth Correction & Stuck Point


There are four things which change the depth of CT in the well compared to the measured
length of CT at surface:
1. Stretch due to axial load
2. Thermal elongation
3. Elongation due to pressure differential
4. Shortening due to helical buckling
Each of these depth corrections is discussed below, followed by a discussion of stuck point
calculations.

Stretch due to Axial Load. The depth measurement systems used at surface may or

may not account for some of the stretch in the CT due to the axial load depending on the
location of the friction wheel. The axial load in the CT (sometimes called the "real axial
force") varies as the pressure inside and outside the CT varies. The stretch included in the
depth measurement depends upon the axial load in the CT under the friction wheel when
the measurement is being made.
CT stretch is much more complicated than stretch of conventional tubulars because of the
residual bending stresses in the CT. The following figure shows the stretch, which occurs as
a piece of CT is loaded from zero to 80% of its yield load, and then the load is released.

Axial Force (lb)


There are three portions of this stretch curve which must be considered:
1. During the initial loading from zero to the "transition load", Ft, the CT stretches at one
slope which includes some plastic deformation. The slope of this portion of the curve is
found in the "Plastic Stretch" table under "Stretch < Ft"
2. When the load becomes greater than Pt the slope of the stretch increases, with
increased plastic deformation. The slope of this portion of the curve is found in the
"Plastic Stretch" table under "Stretch >Ft"

Pipe Data Tables & Charts


Depth Correction & Stuck Point

3. When the load is released at any point along the loading curve, the stretch decreases
along the elastic curve, which has less slope than either of the plastic curves. The
slope of this portion of the curve is found in the "Coiled Tubing Performance Data" table
under Elastic Stretch. When the load is fully released there is still some remaining
stretch or elongation in the CT. If a load is applied again it will follow the elastic curve.
When the CT is bent again on surface, some or all of this elongation will be removed.
The above discussion applies to compressive loads as well as tensile loads. Note that the
plastic stretch values depend upon the bending radius that the CT was last bent to on surface. Usually this is the radius of the guide arch.
Example stretch calculation:
A 1,000 ft section of 1.5" diameter, 0.109" wall, 80,000 psi yield CT has been bent
around a 48" radius and straightened. (Note that these are the values used to create
the above figure). From the Plastic Stretch table and Coiled Tubing Performance Data
table obtain the following values:

Transition load (Ft) 21,551 lb


Elastic Stretch 0.0778 ft/1,000 ft per 1,000 lb
Plastic Stretch <Ft 0.1298 ft/1,000 ft per 1,000 lb
Plastic Stretch >Ft 0.1940 ft/1,000 ft per 1,000 lb

Each of the following is a stretch calculation based upon these values. Note that this
sequence of loads must be applied in this order, as some of the stretch calculations
depend on previous load steps. Also note that this exact sequence can be done in
compression, in which case all of the load and stretch numbers would be negative.
1. An axial load (Fa) of 10,000 lb is applied to this 1,000 ft section of CT. Since Fa is
less than Pt, only the 0.1298 stretch factor is needed. The stretch is this value multiplied by 10 (for 10 thousand lbs) which gives a stretch of 1.298 ft
2. The above axial load is released, so Fa=0. When the load is released the CT shortens elastically. The elastic stretch factor multiplied by 10 is 0.778 ft. The remaining
stretch (or elongation) once the load is released is 1.298-0.778 = 0.542 ft.
3. A load of 10,000 lb is applied again. The CT stretches elastically to 1.298 ft again.
4. The load is increased to 25,000 lbs. Until the transition load the stretch is 0.1298
multiplied by 21.551 (the transition load is 21.551 thousand lb) which gives a stretch at
the transition load of 2.797 ft. The remaining load (25,000 - 21,551 = 3,449lb) causes
stretching to occur at the 0.194 rate for an additional stretch of 0.669 ft. The total
stretch is 2.797 + 0.669 = 3.466 ft.
5. The load is released. The elastic shortening is 0.0778 * 25 = 1.945 ft. The remaining
elongation once the load is released is 3.466-1.945 = 1.521 ft

Elongation due to Temperature. The elongation due to temperature is simply the


change in temperature multiplied by an expansion coefficient. The expansion coefficients
are:

For degrees Fahrenheit the expansion coefficient is 6.5 X 10-6


For degrees Centigrade the expansion coefficient is 3.61 X 10-6

Example Thermal Elongation Calculation


A 1,000 ft. section of CT is 100F at surface and 350F downhole. The change in temperature is 250F. The elongation is 250 X 6.5 X 10-6 X 1,000 = 1.625 ft.

Depth Correction & Stuck Point

Elongation due to Pressure Differential. Changes in internal and external pressure


cause changes in the axial force in the CT. The axial force used to calculate the axial stretch
of the CT must take these pressures into account. When they are accounted for correctly in
the axial force calculation, the stretch due to the pressure differential is already included in
the stretch calculation for axial force discussed previously.
There is another elongation effect caused by pressure, known as the Poisson effect. However, this effect is very small, and can be neglected.

Shortening due to Helical Buckling. Sometimes when CT is in compression it buckles into a helical shape in the hole. Though the CT itself does not change length, the length
it occupies in the well is shorter when it is in a helical shape. This apparent shortening of the
CT affects the depth of the end of the CT.
Helical buckling of the CT is quite complicated. The Period and Shortening Due to Helical
Buckling table is only for a hole that is horizontal with no curvature. The Helical Buckling
Load (HBL) values are the compressive effective axial forces at which the CT will buckle
into a helix ignoring friction affects. The effective axial force is different from the real axial
force in that it does not include the effects of pressure. Given the real axial force and the
internal and external pressures, the effective axial force can be calculated using the equation given later under equations.
The HBL depends upon the buoyant weight of the CT, which in turn depends on the density
of the fluids inside and outside the CT. Two values are given in the attached table for the
HBL. The first (air) assumes that the fluids inside and outside the CT have negligible density. The second (water) assumes that a salt water with a density of 8.6 lb/gal is inside and
outside the CT.
Example Shortening due to Helical Bucking Calculation
A 1,000 ft long section of 1.5 diameter, 0.109 wall is in a horizontal wellbore with a 4
ID which is filled with saltwater. There is an effective compressive axial load of 5,000 lb
in the CT section, which is greater than the HBL of 1,083 lb from the table. Thus the
CT is buckled into a helix with a period of 18.5 ft. The length change of 0.624 means
that the shortening due to the helical buckling is 0.624 ft for this 1,000 ft section.

Stuck Point Calculation. When CT becomes stuck in a well it may be desirable to

determine at what depth the CT is stuck, known as the stuck point. To calculate the stuck
point the operator must follow this procedure:
1. Pull on the CT to the maximum weight the operator is allowed to pull which is typically 80% of the yield load.
2. Release to some lower weight at which the CT is still in tension all the way to the
stuck point. The change in depth as the weight is slacked off from the maximum weight
to the lower weight must be accurately measured. This change in depth (or length) will
be called sp.

It is important that the testing be done in this way because it causes sp to occur in the elastic range of the CT. The change in weight and sp can now be used to back calculate the
length of CT, which corresponds to the depth of the stuck point. This calculation procedure
only works for vertical wells and non-tapered CT strings. For more complicated well and CT
geometrys, a computer model must be used.
Example Stuck Point Calculation
1.5 diameter, 0.109 wall CT is stuck in a vertical well. The operator pulls to weight of
30,000 lb and then slacks-off to a weight of 20,000 lb, causing a change in axial load of
10,000 lb. The sp is measured to be 4.12 ft.

Pipe Data Tables & Charts


Depth Correction & Stuck Point

The elastic stretch coefficient for this CT, discussed in the axial load example above, is
0.0777 ft/1,000 ft per 1,000 lb of load. In this calculation the change in load is 10,000
lb, so the elastic stretch is 0.777 ft/1,000 ft. Dividing sp by 0.777 yields 5.302. Thus
the stuck point is calculated to be at a depth of 5,302 ft.

Equations
The effective axial force is calculated from the real axial force with the following equation:

Fe = Fa Pi A i + Po A o
The plastic stretch coefficients are calculated using the following equations developed by K.
Newman of CTES, L.C. The radius at which yielding begins when the CT is bent is:

ry =

R b y
E

Three geometric values required to calculate the area of yielding are:

r
r
o = arcsin y i = arcsin y
ro
ri
= ro2 o ri2 i + ro ri sin( i o )
The transition load defined in reference 1 is calculated using a = 1.0:

Ft = y ( 12 A + )
The elastic stretch is:

af =

Fa L
AE

a varies between 1 and 2. For this handbook a=1.5 was used for the following equations.
The plastic stretch for axial loads less than the transition load is:

af =

Fa L
( A2 + ) E

For axial loads above the transition load the plastic stretch is:

af =

( A2 + ) E ( A2 ) E

The plastic stretch values in the table use an axial force of 1,000 lb or 1,000 kg and a length
of 1,000 ft. or 1,000 meters.

Helical Lockup

Helical Lockup
When compressive axial forces in excess of the helical buckling load are applied to CT in a
hole, the CT buckles into a helical shape. This helical shape causes additional radial wall
contact forces, which causes additional friction. After the CT becomes helically buckled,
frictin increases as the square of the axial force. A point is reached at which this becomes a
vicious-circle and any additional axial force is lost due to the additional friction. This locking
of the CT in the hole is called helical lockup.
Helical lockup is not dangerous, in that it usually does no damage to the CT. However, it is
limiting because it limits the amount of force that can be applied at the end of the CT or it limits how far CT can be pushed in a horizontal well.
Modeling of this helical lockup is complicated. It is not possible to prepare a few tables that
show when helical lockup will occur. The graphs in this section of the paper were prepared
using the Cerberus Coiled Tubing Modeling software written by CTES, L.C. These graphs
may be used only as guides to give an indication of the effect of helical lockup. A computer
model such as Cerberus must be used for specific situations.

Horizontal Reach. The following horizontal reach graphs show how far CT can be
pushed in a straight horizontal cased hole. The CT, with no tool on the end, is pushed until
helical lockup occurs, limiting further penetration. The density of the fluid in the well and in
the CT affects the buoyant weight and thus the possible horizontal reach. Two fluid densities were used, 0 and 8.6 pounds per gallon (ppg). Four curves are shown on each graph
for the four possible combinations of these two fluid densities in the two conduits (the CT
and the well). The following points must be taken into consideration in using these graphs:

These graphs are given for only one wall thickness for each CT size. Changing the
wall thickness has a minimal impact on the horizontal reach.

The friction coefficients used in these calculations are the coefficients which CTES
has found to be conservative in cased hole and pipeline applications.

These curves assume that all of the force required to push the CT is available at the
input end of the hole. In many horizontal well applications it is not possible to transfer enough axial force to the beginning of the horizontal section of the well to push
the CT all the way to helical lockup..

Maximum Weight. The following maximum weight graphs show the maximum downhole
force that the CT can apply in a vertical cased hole. Weight is set down on the CT with no
tool on the end until helical lockup occurs. The maximum weights shown in these graphs
are the force on the end of the CT when helical lockup occurs. The following points must be
considered in using these graphs:

These graphs are given for only one wall thickness for each CT size. Increasing the
wall thickness will increase the maximum weight, and decreasing the wall thickness
will decrease the maximum weight.

The friction coefficients used in these calculations are the coefficients that CTES has
found to be conservative in cased hole applications.

The maximum weight is independent of the well depth as long as the well is deep
enough for the helical lockup to occur.

Catastrophic Buckling

Catastrophic Buckling
It is possible for catastrophic buckling of the CT to occur in the unsupported length between
the bottom of the injector chains and the top of the stripper when snubbing into a well as
shown in the following picture.

The Catastrophic Buckling tables are used to calculate the amount of axial compressive
load that can safely be applied to the CT in this unsupported length.
To use these tables:
1. Measure the unsupported length, defined as the vertical length from the top of the
stripper guide to the centerline of the lower chain sprockets.
2. Look up the value from the table in the appropriate unsupported length column for the
CT size of interest.
3. Multiply the value from the table by the yield strength of the CT material. For the
English units table the yield strength must be in psi. For the Metric units table the
yield strength must be in MPa. The result is the maximum safe axial compressive
load (including a 50% safety factor) in the unsupported section in pounds for the
English units and Newtons for the Metric table.
Example
The unsupported length is 14 inches for 1.5" diameter, 0.109" wall CT with a yield strength of
80,000 psi. The value from the English units table is 0.1381. 80,000 X 0.1381 = 11,048 lb.
In Metric the unsupported length is 350 mm for 38.10 mm diameter, 2.77 mm wall CT with a yield
strength of 552 MPa. The value from the Metric units table is 90.3. 552 X 90.3 = 49,845 Newtons.

Equations
The equation for the radius of gyration is:

rg =

Catastrophic Buckling

The equation for the slenderness ratio is:

= L rg
The equation for the buckling load is:

Pb
A
=
y 1 + ( 0.03 )2
This value is multiplied by 0.5 to provide a factor of safety of 2.

Hydraulics

Hydraulics
In most coiled tubing (CT) applications such as cleanouts, well unloading, acidizing,
stimulation, drilling, etc., fluid (liquid, gas, or multiphase mixture of liquid and gas) is pumped
through the CT to a desired depth in the wellbore, and returned up the annulus. Water, air,
nitrogen, diesel, brines, acids, gels, and foams are among the many commonly pumped
fluids through CT in these various applications. Thus, depending on the fluid type and
properties, system pressures (pump pressure, gooseneck pressure, wellhead pressure,
flowing bottom hole pressure) change and affect the pumping requirements. In addition,
system pressures are also affected by many other parameters such as pump rate, CT size
(length, diameter), reel core diameter, geometry of the wellbore, and surface roughness.
From a fluid mechanics viewpoint, flows that occur during any CT application can be broadly
classified as:

steady (flow is independent of time) or unsteady (flow is time-dependent)

laminar (flow is characterized by layers or streamlines) or turbulent (flow is characterized by random mixing and is no longer streamlined)

compressible (fluid density is a strong function of pressure such as in gases) or


incompressible (fluid density is a very weak function of pressure such as for liquids)

single-phase (only one fluid phase exists as either liquid or gas) or multiphase (at
least two phases exist as in liquid and gas or liquid, gas, and solid)

Newtonian (shear stress is linearly related to shear rate) or non-Newtonian (shear


stress is not linearly related to shear rate)

the flow direction can be either upwards or downwards; flow can occur in vertical,
inclined, or horizontal wells; and in tubing or annulus formed between the CT and
production tubing/casing.

Therefore, in order to accurately predict the system pressures in any CT operation, all these
fluid mechanics aspects and parameters must be taken into careful consideration during the
mathematical development of a wellbore hydraulics model for CT applications.
System pressures can be estimated by appropriately accounting for the total pressure
losses ( P ) in the CT and annulus. In general, the total pressure loss is comprised of
three components, namely:

Ph )

hydrostatic pressure loss (

friction pressure loss (

acceleration pressure loss (

Pf

), and

Pa ).

Moreover, the frictional component of the coiled tubing pressure loss can be further
subdivided into two parts: a part that accounts for the friction pressure loss on the reel
( PRT ) before entering the well, and a part that accounts for the straight tubing losses
( PST ) in the well. Experiments have shown that, in general, reeled tubing pressure losses
are greater than the corresponding straight tubing pressure losses. Usually, the
acceleration pressure loss is negligible as long as there is no sudden change in crosssectional area of flow, and is therefore not included here.
From a steady-state mechanical energy balance, the hydrostatic and frictional components
of pressure loss can be written as [see Bourgoyne et al. (1991)]

The friction factor in equation 2 is a function of the Reynolds number ( Re ), defined


physically as the ratio of the inertia force to the viscous force. Mathematically, the definition
of Re varies depending on the fluid type (e.g., Newtonian liquids, non-Newtonian liquids,
multiphase fluids). In addition, the magnitude of Re distinguishes a flow from being in the
laminar, transitional, or turbulent flow regimes. Thus, the friction factor is found as a function
of Re for all these flow regimes in various fluid types. Similarly, computation of fluid
properties (density, viscosity) differ depending on fluid type and will be discussed briefly in
separate sub-sections.

Pressure Losses in Liquids. Liquids are most often pumped through CT in any
application. Examples of commonly pumped liquids are fresh water, seawater, brines, acids,
kerosene, crude oil, diesel, polymer gels, and drilling mud. These fluids can be broadly
classified as Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids. Non-Newtonian liquids can be further
subdivided into many categories depending on the rheological model that best describes
their fluid behavior. Only the Newtonian model will be discussed in some detail and general
methodologies will be presented for other fluid types.
Newtonian Liquids: Fluids that exhibit a linear relationship between the shear stress and
shear rate are called Newtonian fluids. Water, brines, acids, and light oils are good
examples of Newtonian liquids. The flow is usually characterized by the Reynolds number,
which for Newtonian fluids can be written as

Re =

For internal flow of Newtonian fluids through straight tubing, the flow can be classified as
either laminar, transitional, or turbulent depending on the magnitude of the Reynolds
number. The flow is laminar if Re is less than or equal to a critical value of 2100. A
transitional flow is observed between Reynolds numbers of 2100 and 4000. If Re is greater
than 4000, then the flow is turbulent. The friction factor for straight tubing ( f ST ) in laminar
flow is given by

f ST =

In turbulent flow, f ST can be expressed as [see Serghides (1984)]

However, in the case of flow through reeled tubing (i.e., for the length of CT on the reel), the
presence of a secondary flow (commonly referred to as Dean's vortices) perpendicular to
the main flow makes the characterization somewhat complicated. In most cases, flow is
turbulent in the CT. For turbulent flow, Sas-Jaworsky and Reed (1997) have recently
provided a correlation to determine the friction factor in reeled tubing as,

d
Dreel

f RT = f ST + 0.0075
(9)

Clearly, from Eq. (9) the coiled tubing friction factors are greater than the straight tubing
friction factors by an amount specified by the reel curvature. Equations (3)-(8) are utilized in
equation (2) to compute the friction pressure losses in straight and reeled tubing.
In this section, friction pressure loss graphs for various CT sizes (diameters and wall
thickness) are presented for four common oilfield fluids pumped through CT. These four
Newtonian fluids are shown in the following table along with their properties.

The graphs depict the friction pressure loss in both straight (when the CT is off the reel) and
reeled tubing (when the CT is on the reel) for various flow rates through the CT. A pipe
roughness value of 0.0018 in. (corresponding to that of commercial steel pipes) is used in
the calculations. For the friction pressure loss plots in reeled tubing, the table below shows
the reel core diameters selected for various CT diameters.

These graphs can be readily used to estimate the friction pressure loss for a given CT size,
or conversely, select an appropriate CT size depending on the magnitude of the friction
pressure loss.
Example 1
Determine the hydrostatic pressure loss in a 10,000 ft long CT section inclined at angle
30 to the vertical. The fluid flowing through the CT is diesel.

From the table, density of diesel = 6.91 ppg. The vertical distance
h = 10000 cos 30 = 8660 ft. Thus, hydrostatic pressure loss,
Ph = 0.052 6.91 8660 = 3112 psi.

Example 2
Consider a 15,000 ft long, 1.5 in. CT with 0.109 in. wall thickness. The length of CT on
the reel is 5,000 ft. Determine the total friction pressure loss if fresh water is pumped
through the CT at 1 bpm. Use an inside pipe roughness of 0.0018 in. and a reel core
diameter of 84 in.
For fresh water, = 8.33 ppg and = 0.99 cp (see above table). The inside diameter
of the CT, d = 1.5 2 0.109 = 1.282 in. The velocity of fresh water in the CT can now be
calculated as,
v=

42
= 10.44 ft/s.
2.448 1.2822

Then , the Reynolds number is found to determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent.
Re =

928 8.33 10.44 1.282


= 104507
0.99

Since Re > 2100, flow is turbulent. Using this value of Re, d , and = 0.0018 in., the
friction factor in straight tubing can be found as f ST = 0.00584. Thus, the friction
pressure loss in straight tubing becomes,
PST =

0.00584 8.33 10.44 2 10000


= 1604 psi.
25.8 1.282

Using Dreel = 84 in., the friction factor in reeled tubing, f RT = 0.006766.


Correspondingly, the friction pressure loss in reeled tubing, PRT = 929 psi. Hence, the
total friction pressure loss becomes, Pf = 1604 + 929 = 2533 psi.
Alternatively, the friction pressure loss in both straight and reeled tubing can be found
from the graphs presented in this section. From the graph of friction pressure loss for
1.5 in. CT with 0.109 wall thickness, the pressure loss for fresh water at 1 bpm in
straight and reeled tubing is about 160 and 185 psi/1000 ft respectively. Multiplying the
straight tubing loss value by 10 gives the pressure loss in 10,000 ft as PST = 1600 psi.
Similarly, PRT = 185 5 = 925 psi. Thus, the total friction pressure loss,
Pf = 1600 + 925 = 2525 psi.

Non-Newtonian Liquids. Liquids that exhibit a non-linear relationship between shear

stress and shear rate are said to be non-Newtonian. The most widely used non-Newtonian
models in the petroleum industry are the Power-Law and Bingham Plastic models (many
polymer gels and drilling muds can be described by these two models). Friction pressure
loss calculations for Power-Law fluids are dependent on a generalized Reynolds number,
and are somewhat different from the corresponding Newtonian computations. On the other
hand, Bingham Plastic calculations are similar to the Newtonian friction pressure loss
calculations, and only differ in the criteria for determining the onset of turbulence.

Pressure Losses in Gases. Air, nitrogen, and natural gas are frequently pumped

through CT, with nitrogen used most often because of its inert properties. Unlike liquids,
gases are compressible (gas density is a strong function of pressure) and behave according
to the real gas law. Therefore, friction pressure loss for gas flow in CT must take into
account density variation with pressure appropriately. In addition, most gases are
Newtonian in their fluid behavior. Thus, the criteria for turbulence and evaluation of friction
pressure loss are similar to that of Newtonian fluids.

Pressure Losses in Foams. Foams are essentially multiphase fluids and comprise of a

mixture of liquid, gas, and surfactant. Although foams are multiphase fluids, their
rheological behavior has been observed to be similar to that of Power-Law and BinghamPlastic fluids. These multiphase mixtures can be water-based or oil-based foams depending
on the composition of the liquid medium. The gas phase is usually nitrogen, however, air
and carbon dioxide have also been used. The gas phase exists as microscopic bubbles
and, in practice, may occupy between 10 to 95 percent of the total foam volume. The ratio
of volume fraction of gas to the total volume of foam characterizes the foam in terms of its
"quality". Since gas is compressible, the quality of foam depends on both temperature and
pressure, and must be accounted for appropriately. The friction loss calculations can then
be performed similar to the Power-Law and Bingham-Plastic models, depending on the
model used to characterize the foam behavior.

Pressure Losses in Multiphase Fluids. In general, multiphase fluids pumped


through CT is a two-phase mixture of liquid and gas. The liquid phase is usually comprised
of water, acid, brines or oil, and the gas phase is most often nitrogen, air, or natural gas.
The pressure losses of multiphase fluids in any CT operation are usually computed using
correlations developed for two-phase flow through tubing. However, the fluid properties
(density and viscosity) and friction factor computations differ considerably from the singlephase calculations. The density and viscosity of multiphase fluids can be evaluated by the
simple "rule of mixtures" and is dependent on the liquid hold-up (represents the volume
fraction of the pipe occupied by the liquid phase). Similarly, the friction factor is also
dependent on the liquid hold-up through the two-phase Reynolds number. Clearly,
evaluation of liquid hold-up is a critical part of the multiphase computations and erroneous
system pressure predictions can result if hold-up is not estimated accurately. Liquid hold-up
can either be measured or calculated, and is dependent on the flow regime. Flow regimes in
two-phase flow are classified based on whether the flow is vertical or horizontal. In vertical
flow, the flow regimes are usually classified as bubble, slug, froth, transition, and mist flow,
whereas in horizontal flow, the usual classification is: segregated, intermittent, transition,
and distributed. Details on these various flow regimes and how they can be distinguished
from one another is quite complex and is not presented here.

bore pressure. Its main function is to prevent well fluids from escaping into the
atmosphere. A coiled tubing blowout preventer is designed specifically for coiled
tubing operations.
A blowout preventer consists of several
pairs of rams. Each type of ram performs a
specific function:
- Blind rams isolate well bore fluids
and contain pressure when there
is no coiled tubing in the blowout
preventer.

Single BOP

- Pipe or tubing rams seal around


coiled tubing to isolate well bore
fluids and contain pressure.
- Shear rams have cutting blades to
shear coiled tubing.
- Slip or gripping rams hold the
coiled tubing to prevent it from
being pushed out of the well or
from falling down the well.
Blind rams, and pipe or tubing rams are
also known as sealing rams.

Dual Combi BOP

The number and type of ram pairs in a


BOP is determined by the configuration of
the blowout preventer: single, double, triple, quad, or quint. The standard coiled
tubing blowout preventer is a quad. From
top down, the four separate ram pairs are
blind rams, shear rams, slip rams, and
pipe rams.
The standard coiled tubing blowout preventer has two equalizing ports, one on
each sealing ram. It also has a side outlet
between the slip and shear rams. This side
outlet can be used as a safety kill line.
Triple Combi BOP

Blowout preventers are available in several sizes. These sizes normally follow the
API flange sizes. They start with the 2 9/
16 and can be as large as 7 1/16. Currently the most commonly used size is the
3 1/16 quad. The following table is a rule
of thumb for what size coiled tubing can be
used in each BOP

hydraulic seals on the piston rods
with a weep hole between them to
prevent well fluids from entering the
hydraulic system and to indicate
leaks.
Teflon coating on the body to
minimize the onset of corrosion on
the BOP body.
Indicator rods on each piston to
indicate the true position of the
ram.
Manual non-rising stems
encapsulated in the hydraulic
chamber. A special thread on the
stem reduces galling and makes it
easier to close with full well head
pressure.
Solid block BOP body with no
welds or threads on the BOP body.
Integral equalizing valve that has
no exposed tubing.
Easy assembly and maintenance.
A BOP should have ram change
rods that make it easy for daily
maintenance. Actuators should
only go together one way so they
cannot be put together incorrectly.

Quick unions for all types of


equipment. Quick unions exist for
5,000, 10,000 and 15,000psi H2S
environments.
A debooster is a safety tool to
monitor well pressure without
having the high pressure and well
fluids in the control cabin. A 4:1
debooster is available that will
mount to the BOP body and
connect to the high pressure port
on the BOP body. Well pressure
runs to the inlet of the debooster
and is converted to hydraulic
pressure with a reduction of four.
The hydraulic line is run to the
control cabin and connected to a
Martin Decker 1:4 gauge that
indicates the actual well pressure.
Ram change rods to make it easier
to pull the rams out of the BOP.
The actuators can be pulled away
from the body without having to pull
them off. Ram change rods are
standard for some BOP models.
Booster cylinders to shear large
diameter or heavy wall coiled
tubing. If the equipment you have
cannot shear required coiled
tubing, you can add booster
cylinders to the shear actuators.
The type of model to use depends
on the hydraulic pressure.
Side outlet flange to adapt to the
treating iron.

Operation
A BOP operates with hydraulic pressure.
You must connect two hoses to each actuator for proper operation of a BOP. One
hose is used to close the ram. The other
hose is used to open it.

Preparation
1. Be sure the BOP has been fully
serviced by a competent technician. Do not assume that a serviceable blowout preventer on the
last job will be good for the next
job. Well conditions and storage
conditions are the main contributors to premature corrosion and pitting.
2. Check the operation of the manual
locks. Rotate the handwheel
counter-clockwise to open the
manual locks.
3. Check all flange and union seals for
damage that might impair sealing.

Well Control Equipment


Blowout Preventers (BOP)

3. Open the rams with hydraulic pressure. You cannot open the rams
manually.

Repair or replace items if necessary.


4. Check all sealing surfaces and ring
gaskets for scratches which may
impair sealing.

Blind Ram Assembly


Blind rams are a type of sealing rams.
They isolate well bore fluids and contain
pressure when there is no coiled tubing in
the blowout preventer. Unlike pipe rams,
blind rams will not seal on any wireline,
cable or tubing. If closed on wireline the
seals will damage the wireline.

5. Test all hydraulic functions. Open


and close each set of rams.
6. Pressure test the complete stack
before starting each job.
7. Close all equalizing valves.

Blind rams consist of identical ram bodies


positioned opposite each other in a ram
bore. Each ram assembly contains a ram
body, front seal, rear seal and a retainer
bar. The front seal contains the well pressure on an open hole and the rear seal
contains the well pressure from behind the
ram body.

Closing and Locking the Rams


After fully closing the rams, you should
close and lock the manual locks into place.
The locks hold the well bore pressure,
while slip rams hold the tubing, even if
hydraulic pressure is lost. Locking the
manual locks tightly is critical for the slip
ram if there is no backup.

Hydraulic pressure acts on a piston connected to a piston rod. The force moves
the rams to the center of the well bore. As
the force is increased, the rubber flows
and forms a seal.

The following is the procedure for closing


and locking the rams:
1. Close the rams with hydraulic pressure. If the hydraulic system has
failed, release the hydraulic fluid in
front of the piston, then close the
rams manually. To release the
fluid, either switch the valve over to
the closed position, or remove the
hydraulic fittings from the front of
the piston. Then allow the fluid to
drain.

Never open blind rams with a differential of pressure across them. The pressure above and below the rams should be
equal before opening them. If you open
blind rams with a differential of pressure, it
will damage the rubber goods and the
BOP will no longer function properly.

2. Run the manual locks in and rotate


the handwheel clockwise to lock
the rams. Tighten the handwheel
down with a pipe wrench and
torque it down to make sure it is
locked.

Unlocking and Opening the Rams


The rams must be fully opened to avoid
contact with the tool string.
The procedure to unlock and open the
rams is
1. Equalize the pressure above and
below the rams. Do not open the
pipe rams or blind rams with a
pressure differential across them.

Blind Ram Assembly

2. Unlock the manual locks by rotating


the handwheel counter-clockwise.
Note that rotating the handwheel
clockwise will lock the rams.

Blowout Preventers (BOP)

Pipe Ram Assembly


Pipe rams, also called tubing rams, are a
type of sealing rams. They seal around
coiled tubing to isolate well bore fluids and
contain pressure.
Pipe rams consist of identical ram bodies
positioned opposite each other in a ram
bore. Each ram assembly contains a ram
body, front seal, rear seal and a retainer
bar. The front seal contains the well pressure around the coiled tubing and the rear
seal contains the well pressure from
behind the ram body.
Hydraulic pressure acts on a piston connected to a piston rod. The force moves
the rams to the center of the through bore.
Guides, machined on the rams, guide the
coiled tubing into the center of the rams to
the front seal. As the force is increased,
the rubber flows around the coiled tubing
and forms a seal.
Never open pipe rams with a differential
of pressure across them. The pressure
above and below the rams should be equal
before opening them. If you open pipe
rams with a differential of pressure, it will
damage the rubber goods and the BOP
will no longer function properly.

Slip rams consist of identical rams and slip


inserts positioned opposite each other in a
ram bore. Each ram assembly contains a
ram body, slip insert and a retainer pin.
The slip insert slides into the ram and is
held in place with the retainer pin. The
retainer pin does not take any loading; it
merely prevents the insert from falling into
the well. The slips should hold the yield
strength of the coiled tubing.
The slip inserts have a special tooth
designed to minimize the stresses on the
coiled tubing. The slip insert is machined
out of a NACE material and then hardened
for gripping and holding the coiled tubing.
This process makes the slips highly susceptible to SSC (sulfide stress cracking).
Since the slips may be exposed to H2S
during coiled tubing operations, the slip
inserts are made with a soft core and hard
case. The hard outer case will be subject
to cracking; however, the softer core will
not be as likely to crack in an H2S environment.
When inspecting slip rams, make sure the
slips are in good condition, .03 flat on the
gripping edge or crest of the teeth on the
slip insert is insufficient. The insert must
be replaced. Use the following steps to
operate slip rams:
1. Close the slips with hydraulic pressure to ensure that they will hold.
The minimum hydraulic pressure
required is 1500psi.
2. Manually lock the slips by turning
the handwheel closed and locking
it in with a pipe wrench. Closing the
manual locks ensures that the slips
will hold, even if hydraulic pressure
is lost.

Pipe Ram Assembly

Slip Ram Assembly


Slip rams grip the coiled tubing holding it
and preventing it from being pushed out of
the well or from falling down the well. In
addition to having a pair of slip rams in the
BOP stack, you may want a backup set of
slips above the stripper packer as an extra
safety precaution.

Shear Ram Assembly


Shear rams have shear inserts to cut
through coiled tubing, wireline, or cable.
Shear rams have right and left hand ram
bodies. The ram assembly consists of ram
bodies, shear blades and socket head cap
screws. The blades on both ram bodies
are identical. The socket head cap screws
hold the blades in their proper place. The
blades are made out of a material that is
hardened after machining. The base
material used for the blades is a NACE
approved material, and therefore the core
of the blades remains relatively soft. The
material gives the blades the ductility
required to prevent cracking and still shear
the coiled tubing. A single set of shear
blades can cut multiple times. More than
30 cuts have been made with one set of
blades with no damage.

Shear Ram Assembly

Test Data for TOT Shear Rams


Extensive testing on shearing coiled tubing
was performed at the Texas Oil Tools Conroe factory. The results have been tabulated and are presented for your
convenience. Separate tests were conducted to confirm the additional pressure
required to close the rams under wellbore
pressure. In each case, where multiple
cuts were made, the highest observed
pressure is shown. Wireline was placed
inside the coiled tubing for many of the
cuts. Either 7/32 or 15/32 line was used
and in every case the wireline cut at a
lower pressure than the coiled tubing.
Several cuts were made with the slips set
to determine if this increased the force
required. It did not.

Shear blades for H2S service have special


requirements, as noted in the NACE specifications MR-01-75: high strength and
high hardness steels are required for ram
shear blades to shear drill pipe during
emergency conditions. However the user
shall be advised that these materials are
highly susceptible to SSC (sulfide stress
cracking). Since the blades may be
exposed to H2S during coiled tubing operations, the shear blades are made with a
soft core and hard case. The hard outer
case will be subject to cracking; however,
the softer core will not be as likely to crack
in an H2S environment.

This tabulation of actual hydraulic operating pressures required to cut coiled tubing
hould serve only as a guide in determining
if a booster is required.

It is extremely important that you make


sure your BOP will shear the coiled tubing
you are using. A simple shear test in the
yard will prove whether or not this can be
accomplished. If the blades chip or break,
you need to get new blades. High yield
and heavy wall pipe require special blades
and may require booster cylinders.
Inspect the blades frequently; any chips or
pitting on the blades is a good indication
they need to be replaced. Use extreme
caution with the shear blades, if they look
bad, they may not cut when you need them
to cut.

Shear Seal Rams

Pipe Slip Rams

Shear Seal Ram Assembly

The Shear Seal Rams are designed to


shear the coiled tubing along with any
wireline or cable and establish a blind seal.
The blades will cut the tubing and will continue to stroke until the rubber seals form a
seal on the well bore. Left and right hand
ram bodies are positioned opposite each
other in the valve block. Both rams contain
a rear seal for sealing wellbore pressure
from below and seals on the blades for
sealing the through bore.
As the rams close, shearing of the work
string takes place between the upper and
lower blades. After shearing is complete,
continued travel of both rams to the body
center causes the leading edge of the right
hand blade to engage the elastomer sealing area in the left-hand insert and effect a
wellbore pressure seal from below. Once
the seal is obtained, the pressure from
below acts to keep the rams closed and
maintain the seal. Pressure from above
the ram acts in the opposite direction,
tending to open the rams and break the
seal. Accordingly, the rams are uni-directional and designed to seal pressure from
below only. In operation, the rams are not
designed to be opened against full differential pressure. Before opening, always
ensure that the pressure across the rams
is equalized. Failure to do so may result in
mechanical damage to the head of the ram
rod and possible extrusion damage to the
ram seals.

Two identical ram bodies are positioned


opposite each other in the valve body.
Each ram body contains a front seal, rear
seal, and slip insert that work in unison to
grip and seal around the coiled tubing. The
front seal contains the well pressure
around the coiled tubing and the rear seal
contains the well pressure from behind the
ram body.
A slip insert is installed above the front
seal to hold the coiled tubing during sealing. The slip insert movement is transmitted to the hydraulic actuator by the
compression pin. The compression pin is
held in place by the retainer ring. An o-ring
is installed to seal against wellbore pressure from below. The force created by the
o-ring seal assists in the setting of the slip
onto the outside of the coiled tubing.

BOP Field Testing


Test Fluids
Normally use cold water for testing. However, you can use another fluid if it is nonflammable and not harmful to any of the
resilient seals.

Test Pressure
The test pressure should be limited to the
lowest pressure determined by the following constraints:
- The rated working pressure of
the BOP, open or closed. Do not
confuse the manufacturers rated
working pressure with the rated
test pressure. The rated test
pressure is a factory test to prove
the strength of the BOP shell;
never use it as the working
pressure.
- The lowest working pressure of
any outlet or connection, flanged
or threaded.
The working pressure (with safety factor)
of the tubing used in the test.

Well Control Equipment


Stripper Packers

Stripper Packers
A stripper packer is a pressure-containing
device designed to contain well bore pressure during coiled tubing operations. It is
the upper tool in the pressure control
stack. It is always mounted above the
blowout preventer, and as close to the
injector chains as possible. Its purpose is
to seal around the coiled tubing in dynamic
applications as the coiled tubing is run in
and out of the well.
A stripper packer has a hydraulic piston
that squeezes the packer element around
the coiled tubing. The injector pushes the
coiled tubing down through the stripper
packer, and then the coiled tubing tools are
installed on the end of the coiled tubing.
The injector and stripper are then installed
on the wellhead either with a flange connection or a quick union connection.
The latest innovations for coiled tubing
stripper packers have been in high pressure applications. New designs have
decreased the overall height and made
them easier to use.

Operation
Hydraulic pressure is required to operate
stripper packers. There is no manual
backup or locking device to use if hydraulic
pressure is lost. These tools must be
operated with a 4-way control valve. Packoff and retract functions are required to
operate safely.

Packing-off the Packer


1. Make sure the tubing is through the
packer. Applying pack-off pressure without tubing in the
packer will cause severe damage.
2. Apply hydraulic pressure to the
pack-off port. The force will energize the packer and squeeze it
around the coiled tubing.

Retracting the Packer


Apply hydraulic pressure to the retract
port. The force will allow the packer to
relax and retract.

17

Changing the Packer Element


with Coiled Tubing in the Well
If the packer element begins to leak during
a job, you can change it out with the coiled
tubing still in the well.
1. Close the BOP pipe rams.
2. Bleed off the pressure above the
BOP.
3. Change out the packer element.
How you remove the packer element depends on the model. For
earlier designs, you remove the
element from the top of the stripper
packer. In newer designs, changing out the packers is easier, and it
can be done in less than 15 minutes.

Stripper Packer Elements


Polyurethane packers are the
standard. These have excellent
chemical and wear characteristics
with a temperature range of -50F
to 200F.
Viton and Nitrile Rubber
Compounds are used primarily if
the surface well temperature
exceeds 180F. Temperature
range is 0F to 400F. These
packers do not have the same
wear characteristics as
polyurethane.
Steam service packers are
available for 500F steam service
or geothermal applications.

Top Loading Stripper Packer


The top loading slip is the original design
used for coiled tubing operations. It was
the first stripper packer designed strictly for
coiled tubing. The stripper packer consists
of a packer element contained between
two bushings. A double acting piston
squeezes the bushings together and
forces the packer to squeeze around the
coiled tubing.
The upper section of the stripper packer is
called the split cap. This is composed of a
split housing containing the upper wear
bushings. The split cap is held in place
with retainer pins or it is threaded into the
body. The split cap is designed such that
the packer can be changed while tubing is
in the well.

Well Control Equipment


Stripper Packers

The conventional stripper packer will


accept either a single packer or the split
insert with energizer. To prevent extrusion
at the higher pressure, it has a hard teflon
non-extrusion ring plus bronze bushing
retainers that overlap the seam in the split
cap. The hydraulic pack-off cylinder is
long stroke and double acting to enable
the operator to use hydraulic power to
change packers.

Conventional Stripper Packer

Stripper Packer
The side door model has a unique design
that allows the packer elements to be
replaced through a door below the injector
mount flange. Changing packers with this
design is always easier, but it is particularly
advantageous when changing packers
with tubing in the well. Swing the two doors
open and pump up the piston to expose
the packers with enough room to quickly
change the packers or the bushings.

To accommodate all of the various packer


combinations, your hydraulic hand pump
should have a 5,000psi working pressure.
You can operate the stripper packer with
either a pump with a 4-way valve and 2
hoses, or a single pump with one hose. If
you use a single hose, be sure that the
quick connectors do not have check
valves, as they will prevent you from
operating the stripper packer normally.

The side door stripper packer is available


in 2.50, 3.06, and 4.06 bore sizes with
working pressure to 15,000psi accommodating up to 2.875 coiled tubing.

To change the packer inserts while the tubing is in the well


1. Make the last movement downward, with hydraulic pressure on
the upper side of the piston. This
will help you remove all loading on
the retainer pins.
2. Remove the pin clips and retainer
pins.
3. Apply hydraulic pressure to the
lower side of the piston (same as
pack-off). The force will push the
split cap and non-extrusion rings,
and approximately one-half of the
energizer and packer inserts up
out of the housing for easy changing.

TOT Side Door Stripper Packer

The TOT Stripper Packer features:


The packing elements and
bushings can be replaced through
the open door below the injector.
Changing packers is easy through
the side door even with tubing in
the well.
New designs contain independent
packer piston and retract piston.
Well pressure assist.
Working pressures up to 15,000psi.
An increased open door length to
simplify the installation of hang-off
slips, without the need for a
separate window.
A threaded bottom connection
allows convenient replacement in
the event one is damaged or to
change connections.
Removal of the packers and
bushings leaves a full through bore
for passage of larger tools.

Apply hydraulic pressure to the upper side


of the piston through the port on the edge
of the flange. The force will move the piston down, making it easy to reassemble
the packer, non-extrusion ring, split cap
and pins.

Sidewinder Stripper Packer


The Sidewinder stripper packer is
designed to pack-off on a full range of
coiled tubing sizes as it is stripped in and
out of the well. This design incorporates
the unique feature of the ability to fully
retract the packer elements and wear
bushings from the vertical well bore.
Features include:
The packers actuated with two
opposing rams, allowing the overall
height to be reduced substantially.
Full through bore availability.
Manual retract bushings or
hydraulic retract bushings.
Retracting the actuator out of the
body exposes the packers and
enables easy access to change the
packers.

The Sidewinder Stripper Packer is available in 3.06, 4.06, 5.12, 6.375 and 7.06
bore sizes with working pressures up to
15,000psi.

Sidewinder Stripper Packer


with Injector Connector

ing to raise the height of the stripper


packer. For earlier stripper packers that
have a split cap with retainer pins, install a
new split cap that increases the length and
uses a longer bushing.

Inhibitor Injection
Two common causes of packer wear are
dry, rusty pipe, and dry gas. Putting dry,
rusty pipe in the well will cause excessive
damage to the packer. The damage may
be so severe that you will have to change
the packer before the job is complete.
Spraying the coiled tubing before it is
stripped through the stripper packer will
reduce the wear on the packer and
increase the life. One method of lubricating the coiled tubing is to spray lubricants
on the coiled tubing as it comes off the
reel. However, some locations may prohibit this method for environmental reasons. Another method involves making
the upper section of the stripper packer
into an injection inhibitor. While this
method requires special bushings and
hoses, it is an environmentally acceptable
method for spaying the pipe.
A stripper packer with an inhibitor injection
device sprays a uniform film on the coiled
tubing before it goes through the stripper
packer. An injection inhibitor can be incorporated in the stripper packer, or a special
adapter flange can be made to mount
below the stripper packer. Because the
port must be located below the packer, it
requires a high pressure pump to pump
the inhibitor in against well pressure.

Anti-Buckling Device

Test Pressure

Coiled tubing can buckle between the


chains and the top of the stripper packer
when you use high snubbing loads. This
buckling of the coiled tubing at the surface
can be avoided by minimizing the length of
unsupported coiled tubing between the
stripper packer and the chains. The
unsupported length should be held to a
maximum length of four inches.

The test pressure should be limited to the


lowest pressure determined by the following constraints:

There are two ways to reduce the distance


between the stripper packer and the
chains.

Test Procedure

1. Modify the stripper packer mount to


raise it up.
2. Increase the length of the top of the
stripper packer.
Increasing the length of the stripper packer
is easy with an anti-buckling device. You
mount the anti-buckling device to the top of
the stripper packer. It uses an extra bush19

Test the stripper packer before starting


each job.
1. Test all of the hydraulic functions.
Make sure the stripper packer
opens and operates in a smooth
manner.
2. Install a test rod or coiled tubing in
the stripper.
3. Pack-off around the coiled tubing.
4. Apply the necessary test pressure.

Quick Latches

Quick Latches
Rigging up pressure control equipment is a
time consuming task. Working with the
cranes and slings to lift the equipment and
install it on the well can be dangerous.
The quick latch is a pressure control tool
that makes the rigging process quicker and
safer. It is operated with a hydraulic
source.
A quick latch is like a very big air or
hydraulic quick connect. It saves time
because the operator does not have to
stab a flange connection or a quick union
with a crane. It is safer because a person
does not have to stand to align the flange
or quick union. Instead, the crane operator
guides the mating pieces of the quick latch
together.
The quick latch is normally the last connection made during the coiled tubing rig
up.

the fluid to drain back into the handpump.


The tool has a spring return that will provide enough force to close and lock the
locking dogs into position.
Two models are in the field at this time:
The most popular has a lock/
indicator that prevents the tool from
being opened until you move the
lock out of the way.
The second model has a well
pressure lock that operates with
200psi. Well pressure of 200psi
will force a lock into a position that
will prevent the tool from being
opened. Well pressure must be
released for this one to open.
Hydraulic working pressure
3,000psi maximum.

1. Install the BOP and flow lines on


the well head and mount the stripper to the injector.
2. Stab the coiled tubing into the stripper packer and make up the tools.
3. Pick up the injector, and use the
quick latch to stab it onto the BOP
stack. Note that you do not have to
make up a flange or union.

Hydraconns
Quick Latch located between the BOP
and the Stripper Packer.
The Hydraconn is designed to facilitate a
secure connection between the coiled tubing BOP and stripper packer while providing an elevated level of personal safety by
minimizing the need for operator assistance during rig-up of the pressure control
stack. The Hydraconn is constructed to
provide a safe and reliable connection in a
compact and rugged design. The Hydraconn incorporates a tapered seal bore that
facilitates stabbing the connection. A
safety latch with a manual override and an
indicator are included to prevent an unintentional release while operating with well
pressure in the stack.

Operation
Hydraulic pressure is required to open or
unlatch the tool. To close or latch the tool,
release the hydraulic pressure and allow

Injector Connectors
Quick Latch between the Stripper

The injector connector is used as a tool to
connect the pressure control equipment to
the injector head. It is mounted above the
stripper packer and is therefore a nonpressure containing device.

Operation
Hydraulic pressure is required to open or

which is capable of sealing against the


15,000psi working pressure or the
22,500psi test pressure. The multiple
redundancy is to accommodate the heavy,
sometimes brutal latching experienced
when handling the large lift/frame on a
semi-submersible vessel in heavy seas.

Hydraulic working pressure is 3,000psi


maximum.

JIC Connector

Hydraulic Releasing Connector


The JHS hydraulic releasing connector is
designed to facilitate the connection of the
BOP and/or lift frame to the wellhead or
drill pipe, making this procedure quick with
increased operator safety.
The JHS connector is comprised of two
mating sections. The skirt section is
installed in the lower spreader bar of the lift
frame or the BOP, and the stinger section
is connected to the wellhead or drill pipe.
These two sections are latched together by
a collet mechanism as part of the stinger
section. The collet mechanism is attached
to the stinger section and retracted by an
integral hydraulic cylinder during the latching and unlatching sequence.

Hydraulic Releasing Connector

When latching, the collet is retracted and


the skirt is lowered over the stinger. The
weight of the skirt and spreader bar will
collapse the collet fingers until the lugs of
the collet spring into position in the recess
machined into the skirt section. This
allows the stinger to fully engage the skirt.
The release of hydraulic pressure will then
allow the spring to return the collet to the
extended and locked position.
The connector can be unlatched by
hydraulically retracting the cylinder and
collet, allowing the skirt to be removed
from the center section. In the event of a
hydraulic failure, a manual override mechanism is attached to retract the collet by
using the three tension bolts that are provided on the manual override.
The seal between the stinger and skirt is
formed by three independent seals each of

Unions & Flanges

Unions & Flanges


Unions are a quick and easy method to
attach pressure control equipment. Also
known as quick unions, the unions have an
elastomer seal for the well bore pressure.
The seal is either on the box or pin connection depending on the type of union.
The quick union is comprised of four components, which consist of the box end, pin
end, union nut, and seal. The pin end is
stabbed into the box end and the union nut
holds everything in place. Quick unions
offer a quick method of assembling pressure control equipment as opposed to bolting up flanges.

There are several types of quick unions on


the market being used for pressure control
equipment. The three most common are
Bowen type, Otis type and TOT type
unions. The following pages have drawings of the unions along with sizes and
pressure ratings. This is a quick reference
chart that should help to identify what type
of union you may have.
The unions do not interchange with each
other so make sure when ordering parts
you know what type of union you need.

Maintenance & Field Inspection


Suggested Maintenance Schedule
Critical areas that must be examined
include the bonnet o-ring face, the bonnet
seal areas, and the ram bores. These
areas are usually the areas that corrosion
will start.

After every job remove the rams and


inspect all ram rubber seals. Clean the
BOP body, bonnet and rams. Remove all
trace of well fluids.
Once a month, remove all rams, actuators,
equalizing valves, and flanges. Thoroughly
clean all of the items. Grease and assemble to proper technical manual.

The following is an individual part detail of


what to look out for during inspections.

BOP Body: Visually inspect the ring


grooves looking for pitting on the angles of
the grooves. If the pitting breaks the surface and into the groove it is too much.
Ring grooves can be machined to remove
the corrosion.

Once a year, disassemble completely and


replace all of the seals.
After two years, strip down and perform
NDE on parts exposed to well fluids,
replace any worn parts.

Inspect the ram bores. On a quad the


upper half of the ram bore is the sealing
area of the rams. If corrosion has allowed
the pitting to get deeper than .010" this is
too much.

Every four years in service, strip down perform NDE on all critical items. Replace
any worn parts.

Two Year NDE requirements:

Inspect the equalizing valve ports. There


are two 3/16 drilled holes in each equalizing valve that must be free of debris. If
these holes are stopped up they must be
cleaned out. You can use a small 1/8" - 3/
16" steel rod with a point on the end to
help clean out the holes. Caution: Using a
power hand held drill or other power tool is
not recommended. The drill bit may break
off in the equalizing port. Inspect the
equalizing valve seal bore, look for corrosion or scratches on the seal surface.

All parts exposed to the well fluids will


have to be inspected by NDE methods.
The preferred NDE test would be a wet
magnetic particle testing. Not all parts can
be tested in this method. If the parts can
not be inspected with MPI then a dye penetrant test will have to be conducted.

Four Year NDE requirements:


All parts exposed to the well fluids, loaded
by well pressure or pressure containing will
have to be inspected by NDE methods.
The preferred NDE test would be a wet
magnetic particle testing. Not all parts can
be tested in this method. If the parts can
not be inspected with MPI then a dye penetrant test will have to be conducted.

Check the area of the body where the bonnet o-rings seal. On most BOP's this is
within a half inch of the ram bore. Pitting in
this area is unacceptable.
Examine the studs; make sure there are
no damaged threads. If the threads are
damaged, you can used a small thread file
(triangular in shape) to remove any sharp
edges or burrs.

Field Inspections
TOT Coiled Tubing BOP's

The last item to check is the well monitoring port. This must be free of debris like
the equalizing valve.

Begin by disassembling the BOP. Refer to


the proper technical manual for the
detailed instructions for disassembly.
Clean all of the parts either with a steam
washer, solvents, or other means. All of
the dirt, rust, and scale must be removed.

Perform surface NDE on this part every


two years.

Bonnet: Visually inspect the o-ring


groove. Look for damaged areas including
pitting. Visually inspect the well bore piston rod seal area. If there is corrosion that
has caused pitting .010" deep, the bonnet
must be replaced.

Corrosion is the main cause for a BOP to


leak. How much corrosion is too much?
Any corrosion that causes pitting in the
base material is too much. The pitting will
directly effect the sealing capabilities of the
rear seal, o-ring, and polypak seals.

32

Well Control Equipment


Maintenance & Field Inspection

Inspect the weep hole and the hydraulic


seal bore area. Inspect the threads,
remove any nicks or burrs with a small
thread file. If the bonnet has hydraulic
porting, inspect all of the ports. The leading 15 degree bevel on the hydraulic ports
is a seal area; this must have a good seal
surface. Check the seal area where the
hydraulic ports go through the BOP body.
Screwdriver pry marks are common on the
o-ring groove for this seal.
Perform surface NDE on this part every
two years.

Rams: Most rams are stainless and


should not have any corrosion. Inspect the
guides on the pipe rams they should not
have any sharp edges. Inspect the rear
seal groove, there should not be any corrosion in this area. Any pitting on the OD or
seal area and the ram should be replaced.
Perform surface NDE on this part every
two years.

Slip Inserts: Slip inserts are one part of


the BOP that will wear out. The teeth
should be sharp. If the crest of the tooth
has a flat area of .02" that is too much. Of
course, some areas of the slip insert may
have teeth that are dull. If 25% of the teeth
have flat areas then the slip must be
replaced. The outer edges of the slip
inserts will normally wear first.
Shear Blades: Shear blades are
designed to shear the coiled tubing. If the
blades have pitting on any area the blades
must be replaced. If the cutting edge of
the blades are chipped or cracked they
must be replaced. TOT shear blades will
cut several times without damage. These
tests have been done on new blades not
exposed to well fluids. Well fluids will
attack the shear blade and can cause
damage to the blades.
Piston Rods: Inspect the area exposed
to well fluids look for tiny pits in the stainless, this is a sign the well fluids are attacking the metal and the parts should be
replaced. Inspect the ram guides. If the
ram guides are damaged replace the
entire piston rod. The ram guide and piston rod are normally sold as a set. Normally you will have to polish the smooth
sealing area of the piston rod, use a fine
emery cloth and polish lightly.
Inspect the woodruff (half moon) key slot in
the piston rod. Remove any sharp edges
that might damage the seal when the rod is
installed in the bonnet. Remove any burrs
from the woodruff key with a file.
33

Perform surface NDE on this part every


two years.

Cylinder: Inspect the threads, remove


any nicks or burrs with emery cloth, or a
polishing wheel. Inspect the seal bore.
There should not be any scratches in the
bore, polish any nicks or scratches with a
fine emery cloth.
Perform a surface NDE on this part every
four years

Non-Rising Stem: The end of the nonrising stem that sticks out the back of the
hydraulic cap is susceptible to environmental corrosion. Water that collects in
this area tends to start corrosion. A generous amount of grease kept on this end
will minimize the corrosion rate. Replace
the stem if corrosion has started. A leak
on this stem can prevent the rams from
closing properly. Examine the threads of
the sleeve nut and make sure the sleeve
nut moves freely the entire length of the
threads. The thread is a left hand thread.
Perform a surface NDE on this part every
four years.

Sleeve Nut: Rarely will this part get damaged. Make sure the sleeve nut threads
easily on and off of the Non-rising stem.
The slots on either side of the sleeve nut
that the hex keys slide into can get damaged, use a small file and remove any
nicks or burrs from the slot.
Perform a surface NDE on this part every
four years.

Hydraulic Cap: Visually inspect the

threads and the O-ring groove behind the


threads. Inspect the small ID of the
hydraulic cap. This is where corrosion of
the non-rising stem may also cause damage to the hydraulic cap. Inspect the indicator rod seal and seal retainer. Make
sure you replace the indicator rod seal.
When tightening the hydraulic cap on the
cylinder do not let the wrench grip the cap
in the area of the indicator rod. The
wrench may damage the indicator rod or
the hole for the indicator rod.
Perform a surface NDE on this part every
four years.

Closing Tube Assembly: The closing

tube is stainless steel, which is resistant to


rust. Paint on the closing tube can make it
difficult to take apart. It would be easier if
all of the paint was removed from the closing tube. There is very little that can go

to begin with. These are not covered in


this procedure.

Indicator Rod: The indicator rod may

upper end of the stripper packer are guide


bushings and the main function is to guide
the coiled tubing and prevent it from buckling between the chains and the packer.
The top one will normally wear out faster
than the others. It is important that you
check the wear on these frequently.

Bushing Stack: The bushings at the

bend, check to make sure the rods are


straight and there are no nicks or
scratches on the OD.

Front and Rear Seals: These seals


should be inspected after each job. If any
noticeable loss of rubber is observed, the
seals should be replaced. If the bond
between the rubber and the metal plates
begins to separate, the seals should be
replaced.

Well bore seal grooves: The items that


house the well bore seals are critical.
Damaged seals and corrosion are the
most common cause for this item to leak.

TOT Stripper packers

The remaining sections are specific details


for certain models of stripper packers.

Begin by disassembling the Stripper


Packer. Refer to the proper technical
manual for the detailed instructions for disassembly. Clean all of the parts either with
a steam washer, solvents, or other means.
All of the dirt, rust, and scale must be
removed.

DS34 Stripper Packers


Split Caps: If the split cap is threaded on,
inspect the threads carefully and make
sure it threads all the way down into the
housing. Corrosion is the most common
reason to replace this item.

Worn out packers and bushings are the


main reason a stripper will leak. Examination of the packers and bushing after each
job is critical. The packer should be
replaced after every job. Corrosion is
another cause for the Stripper Packer to
leak. How much corrosion is too much?
Any corrosion that causes pitting in the
base material is too much. The pitting will
directly effect the sealing capabilities of the
well bore seal, o-rings, and polypak seals.

Perform NDE on this part every two years.


If the split cap has pins that retain it in
place make sure the pins are in good condition and the clips are used properly.
Both of these items are stainless and corrosion is normally not a problem.
Perform NDE on the split cap and retainer
pins every two years.

Lower connection: This part has the

Critical areas that must be examined


include the well bore seal groove and sealing area. The upper bushing stack and
bushing sleeve are susceptible to corrosion. The bushings themselves will not
corrode but the fluids get trapped between
the bushings and the housing and tend to
act as a catalyst for corrosion.

seal grooves for the well bore and hydraulic seals. Make sure these areas are not
damaged by the corrosion. If there is corrosion, the seals will not last as long and
the tool will begin to leak. Weep holes are
located between the well bore seals and
the hydraulic seals so there will always be
an indication of when the seals are leaking. Inspect the well bore port.

The following is an individual part detail of


what to look for during inspections.

Perform surface NDE on this part every


two years.

Bushings: The critical bushings are


those just above and just below the
packer. They prevent the packer from
extruding. If these bushings are allowed to
wear too much it will create a leak path for
the packer. Replace the bushings if they
become worn. Worn is defined as wear
that can be measured with a caliper to be
.10" larger than the coiled tubing size (i.e
for 1.25 coiled tubing 1.350 would be classified as worn). Note: There are special
bushings available that are .050" oversized

Upper Housing: The upper housing has

the hydraulic porting which should be


checked frequently. The upper housing
retains the packer and it should be
inspected for corrosion in the packer area.
Perform surface NDE on this part every
two years.

Cylinder Rings: The upper and/or lower

cylinder ring may have some wear marks


due to pressure. These are normal, corro-

sion are not usually a problem with these


but they can get damaged when removing

Motorhead Assembly

Coiled Tubing Motor Head Assemblies have


been developed in recognition of industry
demands for compact, heavy duty, integrated
BHA components. The Motor Head Assembly
combines the Double Flapper Check Valve
with a Hydraulic Disconnect and a Dual Circulation Valve, standard components for virtually all toolstring designs. The tubing
connector has been deliberately eliminated to
give the added flexibility of operator choice for
the connector type and coil tubing size.
A Motor Head Assembly provides the operator with a compact, versatile, upper BHA and
offers the following features:

Double Flapper Check Valve


Coiled Tubing Motor Head Assemblies incorporate two Flapper Cartridge Assemblies.
Each Flapper Cartridge incorporates a primary, low pressure PTFE seal, backed up
with a secondary, high pressure metal-tometal seal. Flapper Cartridge Assemblies
simply drop-in to the Double Flapper Check
Valve housing, providing ease-of-assembly
redressing of the Motor Head Assembly.

Heavy Duty Hydraulic Disconnect


A Heavy Duty Hydraulic Disconnect allows
the toolstring to detach at a predetermined
point via the deployment of a suitable drop/
trip ball through the coiled tubing.
The drop ball locates on a piston sleeve creating sufficient back pressure to shear the
pins and disconnect the tool. The piston
sleeve pushes the tool apart to ensure a
clean disconnect. Circulation is immediately
returned to the toolstring, providing a surface
indication of a positive disconnect. All piston
sleeves and drop balls are returned to surface
leaving a standard GS internal fish neck for
retrieval purposes.
The Hydraulic Disconnect utilizes a heavy
duty, one piece, threaded collet slip to hold
the tool together. The collet slip endures
higher tensile loading than collet finger type
release mechanisms and is far less susceptible to fatigue. The collet slip is backed up with
a collet slip sleeve to give maximum tensile
strength to the disconnect during heavy jarring operations.
Only by dropping a ball and shearing the pins
can the collet sleeve shift, allowing the collet
and top sub to part. The piston sleeve is pressure balanced, therefore internal pressure
does not affect the hydraulic configuration
and shear values.

Downhole Tools
Standard Toolstring Components

Connectors

High torque capabilities are achieved through


positive torque drive teeth between the top
sub and the main body of the tool. The
hydraulic disconnect is therefore ideally
suited for high torque, heavy duty coiled tubing drilling operations where maximum performance and durability is essential.

Dimple / Grub Screw Connector


The Coiled Tubing Grub Screw/
Dimple Connector allows the
attachment of coiled tubing to
the CT Tool / Work String via
the provision of a threaded
connection.

Shear screws can be supplied in either brass


or steel to give a comprehensive pressure
range to suit virtually any coiled tubing application. Shear screws are also integrally situated to eliminate the possibility of shear
screws vibrating free during CT drilling operations.

The connector is attached to


the coiled tubing by grub
screws that engage in preformed dimples in the tubing
wall.

The standard configuration consists of the


maximum flow through bore available, whilst
maintaining maximum tensile strength in the
tool. By interchanging the piston sleeve, the
drop/trip ball size can be varied to suit the
desired toolstring requirements. This is a particularly useful feature when the Hydraulic
Disconnect is situated below jars and accelerators, and ID restrictions are a considering
factor. Running the Heavy Duty Hydraulic Disconnect below jars and accelerators ensures
that if disconnection of the toolstring is necessary, a greater proportion of the toolstring is
safely returned to surface.

The dimples are formed by


using the Dimple Tool that
places the indents in identical
positions to the screws on the
connector.
The Grub Screw/ Dimple Connectors have o ring pressure
seals as standard and are also
available with v packings as
an option to create the pressure seal.

Dimple Hammer

A major inherent design consideration is that


of simple field redress. The hydraulic disconnect has been methodically designed to
ensure assembly & disassembly of the tool is
trouble free. No special assembly tools are
required and all seals are standard O rings.

The Dimple Hammer is used to


accurately produce the indentations in the coiled tubing wall,
required when using the Grub
Screw/Dimple type coiled tubing connectors.

Dual Circulation Valve

The dimples are produced by


screwing the round headed cap
screws into the tubing wall by
the same amount. The slide
hammer aids installation and
removal of the tool.

Motor Head Assemblies also incorporate


Coiled Tubing Dual Circulation Valves. The
Dual Circulation Valve offers the traditional
method of returning circulation of the toolstring through use of a drop ball. In addition,
the valve is capable of operating through
internal overpressure within the tubing string.
Conventional dual circulation valves use a
burst or rupture disc to facilitate the function
of returning circulation through overpressure.
However, the Dual Circulation Valve offers a
pressure differential activated piston. The piston activation pressure can be predetermined
at surface through shear pins, offering superior flexibility and considerable savings on
redress. As with the other components of the
Motor Head Assembly, the emphasis is on
simplicity and the Dual Circulation Valve has
very few component parts, seals and thread
connections.

External Slip Connector

Roll-On Connector Crimping Tool

Coiled Tubing External Slip


Connectors allow the attachment of coiled tubing to the CT
Tool Work String via the provision of a threaded connection.

Used in conjunction with the


Roll-On Connector, the Roll-On
Connector Crimping Tool
ensures easy field installation
of the Roll-On Connector to the
coiled tubing.

The design of the External Slip


Type Connector utilizes a set of
'wicker' type slips that grip the
tubing in a 'wedging' action,
thus, an increase in tension
results in increased grip. The
inclusion of the 'slip bowl'
assists in the 'make-up' by preventing rotation of the slips.

The Crimping Tool has two


interchangeable wheels, one of
which is used to swage the
coiled tubing onto the Roll-On
Connector. The other is a cutting wheel which can be used
to cut the coiled tubing.
Replacement roller/cutters are
available.

A special feature of this design


is that the upper wickers are
vertical and stop the connector
from rotating on the coiled tubing.

Internal Slip Connector


The Coiled Tubing Internal Slip
Connector allows the attachment of coiled tubing to the CT
Tool / Work String via the provision of a threaded connection.

External Slip Type Connectors


have o ring pressure seals as
standard and are also available
with v packings as an option to
create the pressure seal.

Internal Slip Connectors attach


to the coiled tubings internal
diameter. The connector is
secured with tapered slips.

lengths of coiled tubing.

Roll-On Connectors are available


to suit all standard sizes of coiled
tubing.

Double Ended Internal Slip


Connectors attach to the coiled
tubings internal diameter. The

component that can be run in
the locked out position and
activated with a drop ball when
required to perform as a downhole safety barrier. It's use provides a means of preventing
the back flow of well fluids into
the coiled tubing in the event of
failure or damage to the coiled
tubing string or surface equipment.

The design of the Twin Flapper


Check Valve incorporates a dual
sealing system in each flapper
assembly for increased safety. A
teflon seal provides the primary
low pressure seal, while at
higher pressure the flapper
seals on a metal to metal
arrangement.

Maximum flow area through the


Flapper Cartridges reduces
unnecessary back pressure on
the surface pumps.
The flow path through the Flapper Cartridges does not restrict
the passage of balls or darts if
required during operations such
as cementing.

It is ideally suited to CT velocity


string systems allowing activation by a drop ball prior to pulling the string from the well.

Ball Check Valve

Ball Check Valves are used


when devices such as balls and
darts do not need to pass
through the valve. In the event
of a ball or dart needing to be
dropped a Flapper Valve must
be used.

Back Pressure Valve

Release Joints

The Coiled Tubing Back Pressure Valve is a coiled tubing


string component that provides
a circulation path against a predetermined back pressure. It is
ideally suited to operations
when the hydrostatic pressure
within the coiled tubing needs
to be higher than the pressure
in the annulus areas.

Shear Release Joint (Torque Thru)

The design of the Coiled Tubing


Back Pressure Valve allows for
an on-site determination of
back pressure to be set at surface. This is achieved with the
use of different ball diameters
to increase/decrease the piston area and pressure required
to open the valve.

The dual ball valves can be


opened or closed at surface by
the use of an Allen wrench. By
sliding a locking plate to allow a
Wrench to be inserted into the
ball key, the locking slot can be
rotated into the horizontal or
vertical position. When both
balls have been turned into the
open position, pressure can be
bled off via the bleed screws
and balls.

The Coiled Tubing Dual Ball


Kelly Cock Valve is designed to
be used in conjunction with the
Combination Anti Rotation Self
Aligning Connector (CARSAC),
in order to safely deploy coiled
tubing downhole assemblies in
or out of the wellbore.

Coiled Tubing Back Pressure


Valves are not ideally suited for
cementing or abrasive fluids.
For calibrated fluid delivery
valves please see Coiled Tubing Cement Valves.

A locking feature is incorporated in the design to hold the

Shear Release Joint (Torque Thru)

Circulation and Control Valves

The Coiled Tubing Shear


Release Joint allows the parting
of the coiled tubing work string
by applied predetermined tension.

Ball Activated Circulation Valve


The Coiled Tubing Ball Activated Circulation Valve is
designed to allow circulation
above the coiled tubing work/
tool string.

The Shear Release Joint was


designed for and used primarily
in cement stinger operations as
a simple effective emergency
release.

The tool is activated by using a


drop ball and can be adjusted
on surface to shear out by varying the number and type of
shear pin used. Pressure
applied to the drop ball causes
the pins to shear and the sleeve
to move down allowing circulation via the side ports.

Shear Release Joints incorporate shear screws that can be


used in various combinations to
allow a wide range of predetermined shear settings.
The released part of the Shear
Release Joint can be retrieved
using a GS type Pulling Tool or
a Release Joint Retrieval Tool.

Release Joint Retrieval Tool


Dual Circulation Valve

The Coiled Tubing Release


Joint Retrieval Tool is a coiled
tubing service tool designed to
retrieve a Release Joint that has
been previously activated.

The Coiled Tubing Dual


Circulation Valve offers
the traditional method of
returning circulation of the
toolstring through use of a
drop ball. In addition, the
valve is capable of operating through internal overpressure within the tubing
string.

The heavy duty lugs are


designed to engage the standard size fish neck inside the
released joint.
Shear pins facilitate release of
the tool from the fish neck if
required. The shear pin values
are preset at surface to suit
operational restrictions or maximum over-pull available.

Conventional dual circulation valves use a burst or


rupture disc to facilitate
the function of returning
circulation through overpressure. However, the
Dual Circulation Valve
offers a pressure differential activated piston. The
piston activation pressure
can be predetermined at
surface through shear
pins, offering superior flexibility and considerable
savings on redress.
As with many other tools
in a standard BHA toolstring, the emphasis is on
simplicity and the Dual
Circulation Valve has very
few component parts,
seals and thread connections.

Burst Disc Circulation Sub

Sequencing Tool

The Coiled Tubing Burst Disc Circulation Sub is a standard coiled


tubing tool string component that is
used in conjunction with tools that
require drop balls etc., and that
need to be circulated into the
coiled tubing.

The Coiled Tubing Flow Activated Sequencing Tool is a


valve designed to actuate
downhole coiled tubing tools at
a predetermined pressure and
to operate as a controlled bleed
valve when bleeding down
internal coil pressure.

Burst Disc Circulation Subs are


incorporated into the coiled tubing
tool string just below the tool that
requires a drop ball.

The Flow Activated Sequencing


Tool is a normally open valve
which allows circulation through
the tool to the annulus, whilst
running into the well. Once a
pre-determined differential
pressure is exceeded, the flow
path to the annulus is closed
and diverted into the internal
bore of the toolstring, thereby
enabling hydraulic activation of
any tools in the lower and upper
end of the tool string.

Should circulation be lost due to a


down hole restriction, a predetermined pressure applied to the coil
will burst the disc in the sub and
re-establish circulation.

Cement Valve
The Coiled Tubing Cement Valve is a
special type of check valve designed
to support a column of fluid, until
such time as an increase in pressure
is applied to the column from above.
Once the increased pressure is seen
at the valve it will open and the column of fluid will be allowed to flow
through the valve. By reducing pressure to the column of fluid to its original level the valve will close and the
fluid will cease to flow.

When pulling a toolstring out of


the well, a Sequencing Tool can
be used to safely bleed off
internal coil pressure. When the
coil pressure is decreased to a
pre-determined pressure, the
Sequencing Tool opens and
allows bleed through its bypass
ports. Therefore during bleed
down the internal/external pressures are balanced, thus eliminating the possibility of

As pressure is applied to the column


of fluid, it sees the selected cross
sectional area and begins to compress the disc springs.

prematurely releasing flow activated manipulation tools in the


lubricator.

The disc springs are compressed


before the ball reaches the lift sub. At
this point, the fluid is being held by
the spring pressure, against the combination of pressure multiplied by
cross sectional area of the piston.

The closing differential pressure of the Sequencing Tool


can be field adjusted to
between 500 to 2000psi by simply placing an internal 'O' ring in
one of four positions.

If the pressure is now increased, the


ball will be lifted from its seat by the
lift sub allowing the fluid to bypass
the ball and travel down the tool.
The Cement Valve can be reconfigured using interchangeable pistons to
operate at different pressures in a
range from 500 to 5000psi.
The Coiled Tubing Cement Valve was
originally developed as a control
valve, capable of accurately delivering cement during coiled tubing
cementing operations. The same tool
can also be used to deliver any fluid
downhole using the same principle.

Knuckle Joint

C.A.R.S.A.C. HT Connector

The Coiled Tubing Knuckle Joint,


when incorporated between the jars
and the manipulation tool, will provide additional flexibility in the toolstring. This additional flexibility is
often necessary when the bore of
the hole the tool is running through
is restricted and/or highly deviated.

The Coil Tubing C.A.R.S.A.C.


HT (Combination Anti-Rotation Self Aligning Connector
High Torque) was developed
by PCE to create a dedicated
self aligning tool string connector, capable of withstanding high degrees of torque in
both directions.

The Coiled Tubing Knuckle Joint


allows full 360 rotation of the toolstring and provides full 15 angular
deviation and internal pressure
sealing throughout the full rotation
of the tool. The ball and socket of
the knuckle provide the rotation and
angular deviation of the tool. Seals
in the ball provide the sealing capability.

The C.A.R.S.A.C. HT is
designed to assist with the
tubing make-up where it is
difficult to rotate the tools to
engage threads and is particularly suited for long toolstring
applications. It is especially
useful when utilized in conjunction with integral ball
valves and deployment bars.

Where rotation under load is


required see the coiled tubing
swivel joint. The full flow through
bore also allows the use of flow
activated tools below the coiled tubing knuckle joint. Multiple coiled
tubing knuckle joints can be incorporated in particularly long toolstrings.

By incorporating the
C.A.R.S.A.C. HT in the BHA,
the string can be divided into
smaller, more manageable
sections. Each section can be
torqued up accordingly before
loading into the lubricator section. (The C.A.R.S.A.C. HT
matches the torsion yield
strengths of all coiled tubing
drilling thread connections
where high torque tolerance is
a major consideration).

Torque Thru Knuckle Joint


The Coiled Tubing Torque Thru
Knuckle Joint, when incorporated
between the jars and the manipulation tool, will provide additional flexibility in the toolstring. This
additional flexibility is often necessary when the bore of the hole the
tool is running through is restricted
and/or highly deviated. The Coiled
Tubing Torque Thru Knuckle Joint
can be used when rotation of the
toolstring is not required, for example, coiled tubing drilling applications.

The locking taper feature


allows each section of the
toolstring to simply stab-in
and centralize before the

engage into the female lower
sub. The primary locking collar
is then screwed down to lock
the two sections together. The
secondary locking collar can
then be screwed down to
secure the joint and prevent
the primary collar from backing off.

The coiled tubing knuckle joint provides full 15 angular deviation and
internal pressure sealing throughout the full deviation of the tool. The
ball and socket of the knuckle have
a key that prevents rotation but still
allows full angular movement. The
full flow through bore also allows
the use of flow activated tools below
the coiled tubing knuckle joint. Multiple coiled tubing torque thru
knuckle joints can be incorporated
in particularly long toolstrings.

The C.A.R.S.A.C. HT is also a


fundamental component of the
Coiled Tubing Deployment

Centralizers

Weight/Straight Bar

Fluted Centralizer

Weight Bar is manufactured


from solid bar and the relatively
small I.D. ensures maximum
weight displacement. The standard through bore coincides
with the I.D. of the Coiled Tubing

The Coiled Tubing Fluted Centralizer is designed to be


included as part of the coiled
tubing work string to assist in
providing centralization to allow
easier location of tools during
fishing or to provide general stability in the tubing.

Hydraulic Jar & Accelerator.


The Weight Bar can be used in
conjunction with the Coiled Tubing Hydraulic Jar & Accelerator
to provide supplementary mass
during jarring operations, thus
enhancing impact loads. By
increasing the accelerating
mass during a jarring operation,
impact loads can be significantly amplified over conventional Jar/Accelerator
combinations.

Fluted Centralizers have a full


flow through bore allowing passage of darts or drop balls and
is available in any specific
length.

Flow Activated Bow Spring Centralizer

The Weight Bar can also be utilized with a downhole motor to


act as a drill collar. The additional weight on the motor string Straight Bar
can help provide more controlled weight on bit during
coiled tubing drilling operations.
Straight Bar
Straight Bar provides a means
of extending the toolstring,
whilst maintaining the maximum
through bore. The tubular section between the top & bottom
sub can be interchanged to vary
the length of the straight bar.
This approach offers an ideal
way of spacing out tools within
the toolstring, without compromising the flow requirements of
flow activated or jetting tools.

Flow Activated Bow Spring


Centralizers are designed to
allow tool strings or parts of tool
strings to be centralized in the
tubing /casing for various operations.
The Flow Activated Bow Spring
Centralizer is designed so that
its bow springs are normally
retracted. The bow springs only
expand when a pressure differential is achieved across the
tool. This enables the centralizer to pass, for example,
through the restricted bores of
the tail pipe and expand into the
casing liner below without any
unnecessary wear on the bow
springs.
As a safety precaution, the bow
springs are mounted above a
coil spring. This is to allow the
bow springs the necessary
movement they require in order
to pass through a restricted
bore whilst still expanded.

Tools

The Coiled Tubing Double Ended


Selective Shifting Tool (DESST)
has been designed

Flow Activated GS Running/Pulling


Tool

specifically to selectively shift PCE,


Otis, Camco, Baker sliding sleeves
(SSDs) in horizontal well bores.

The Coiled Tubing Flow Activated


'GS' Type Running/Pulling Tool is
designed to run and retrieve downhole tools with conventional internal fish necks.

The DESST shifting keys are normally retracted during the running
operation and are hydraulically flow
activated to the open shift position
by increasing surface pump volume and therefore, pressure at the
downhole location of the DESST
and SSD. The DESST can selectively open or close multiple SSDs
in a single coiled tubing trip.

The latching mechanism is a


robust dog/core design which
releases positively from the internal fish neck when a hydraulic differential is applied to the tool.
The tool does not require shear
pins or drop balls since the differential required to activate the tool
is provided by circulating through a
choke insert in the core.
The Hydraulic 'GS' Type Running/
Pulling Tools are available for all
standard internal fish neck sizes.

Flow Activated Shifting Tool


The Flow Activated Shifting Tool
is designed to be used as a
work tool for opening and closing sliding sleeves.
The normally closed shifting tool
is flow activated and therefore
does not require the use of drop
balls to activate it. The shifting
tool by design can be used to
either open or close sliding
sleeves.

Flow Activated Heavy Duty Running/Pulling Tool


The Coiled Tubing Flow Activated Heavy Duty Running/Pulling Tool is a collet type running/
pulling tool designed to run or
retrieve downhole tools that
have conventional external fishing necks.

Flow Activated Shifting Tools


are available to suit all sizes
and makes of sliding sleeves
and can be supplied with either
positive or selective keys.

The running/pulling tool design


is extremely robust in construction and allows a full 360 degree
engagement of the fishing neck
to be latched.
The tool is fully hydraulically
activated and therefore does
not require the use of shear pins
or drop balls to operate, since
this is achieved by circulating
through a choke in the core of
the tool.
Hydraulic Heavy Duty Running/
Pulling Tools are available for all
sizes of standard external fish
necks.

Flow Activated Kickover Tool


By continuing PCEs renowned reputation for developing world leading hydraulically activated coiled tubing tools, PCE proudly present the Coiled Tubing
Flow Activated Kickover Tool.
PCE began development many years ago, designing and manufacturing
hydraulic adapter subs to allow existing wireline kickover tools to perform on
coiled tubing. The primary objective with this system was to allow existing wireline kickover tools to be used in highly deviated wells, where even the most
effective, low friction, roller stem and linear jars proved to be inoperable under
these conditions. The hydraulic sub simply provided a means of activating the
kickover tool arm through pressure within the coiled tubing. The distinct advantage was the ability to ensure the arm remained rigidly kicked out whilst engaging the valve in the side pocket mandrel. Although successful in achieving its
objectives, the development did not stop there.
During our experience with hydraulic sub adapters, many factors lead to the
recognized need to develop a dedicated, fully flow activated coiled tubing version of the kickover tool. As well as the difficulty to work in deviated wells, the
orientation trigger found in traditional wireline kickover tools, shears out when
leaving the mandrel, thus this operation is effectively, a one shot deal.
PCEs team of design engineers began work on developing a fully hydraulic,
dedicated coiled tubing solution for running and pulling gas lift valves located in
side pockets. The design attributes include a hydraulically activated trigger
mechanism with the functionality of indefinite repeatable operation. Whilst providing a hydraulically activated kickout joint, the tool offers full flow through
capability, providing a means of jetting fluid directly onto the gas lift valve. Acid
can also be spotted through the tool to help dissolve build-ups of scale around
the valve fish neck. This added facility greatly increases the likelihood of successfully retrieving the valve, first time. Also, with the facility of flow running
through the tool, the option of a hydraulic release type pulling tool is also feasible.
Typical Running Procedure
The toolstring would typically consist of a (a) tubing connector, (b) double flapper check valve, (c) hydraulic disconnect, (d) dual circulation valve, (e)
sequencing valve, (f) swivel joint, (g) flow activated kickover tool, and (h) an
appropriate pulling tool. Jars and accelerators may be run if necessary. The
hydraulic trigger mechanism remains in as the tool is RIH, circulation through
the sequencing valve ensures the pressure within the toolstring does not
exceed the pressure in the annulus. This will prevent the trigger and the kickout
joint operating prematurely. The kickover tool remains rigidly straight whilst running through the completion, eliminating unintentional access to mandrels further up the string. The kickover tool is run past the selected side pocket
mandrel. Pressure within the string is increased, thus shutting off the sequencing valve and activating the hydraulic trigger. The toolstring is then pulled back
through the mandrel until the trigger engages the orientation housing of the
mandrel, an increase in weight can be seen at surface. The tubing pressure is
then increased further to activate the kickout joint. Maintaining this pressure
ensures the joint is permanently kicked out, even when the side pocket is situated on the high side. By sitting down, the pulling tool engages the gas lift valve
fishing neck. As the fluid within the toolstring is exiting through the pulling tool,
the gas-lift valve is cleaned prior to latching. The internal toolstring pressure is
then reduced so as to re-open the sequencing valve, consequently deactivating
the trigger and kickout joint.
An overpull determines the valve is engaged and an increased overpull
extracts the valve from the side pocket mandrel. Jars may be required to aid
this operation. The gas-lift valve can then be successfully brought to surface.
Running a replacement valve or dummy works on a similar principle. This scenario is where a hydraulic release running tool would be an advantage.
Hydraulic adapter subs are available for a whole range of existing wireline kickover tools. Dedicated flow activated kickover tools are limited to medium and
larger sizes of side pocket mandrels due to their complex internal hydraulic
mechanisms.

Single Shot Tubing Punch


The Coiled Tubing Single Shot
Tubing Punch is a mechanical
punch perforator hydraulically
activated by applying pressure
to the CT string. The CT Single
Shot Tubing Punch is normally
run in conjunction with a
Sequencing Valve.
The CT Single ShotTubing
Punch is only designed to
punch one hole in one trip, however a CT Multi Shot Tubing
Punch has been developed to
punch multiple holes in one
coiled tubing run.

The Flow Activated High


Torque Indexing Tool is
designed on a rotating cam
principle. The tool does not
stroke downward in order to
index the cam, since this action
is achieved internally.

Flow Activated Multi-ShotTubing End


Locator
The Coiled tubing Flow Activated Multi-Shot Tubing End
Locator is designed to be used
as part of the standard tool
string assembly to locate the
end of the production tubing for
depth correlation.
The Tubing End Locator is flow
activated and therefore offers
the ability to 're-tag' the end of
the tubing as many times as
required without the need to
retract from the well for redress.
The tool is flow activated by
surface pump volume and pressure, and the force required to
pull through the tubing end can
therefore be infinitely varied.
Hydraulic Tubing End Locators
are available in a range of toolstring sizes, with fingers to suit
the tubing i.d. as required.

Multi-Shot Tubing Punch

Nipple Locator

The Coiled Tubing Multi-Shot Tubing Punch is a hydraulically operated mechanical punch perforator
that can be used to perforate standard and heavy wall tubing. Perforating tubing provides access to
casing annulus to circulate or kill a
well or bring in additional productive zones.

Tubing Nipple Locators are


designed to locate nipples in the
tubing whilst downhole coiled tubing operations are being performed. This makes the tool ideal
for depth correlation by tagging a
known datum in the production tubing.
The Nipple Locator can be positioned virtually anywhere in the
BHA. As the Nipple Locator is
purely mechanical, the operation of
the tool does not require any
hydraulic pressure to operate.

The Multi-Shot Tubing Punch can


also be used for emergency situation, such as to permit production
through tailpipe that has been
plugged and cannot be opened by
regular means.

The Tubing Nipple Locator is run


below the nipple to the desired
position. A slow pick up will then
allow the dogs to tag the back of
the nipple profile. A small overpull
(approximately 600-900lbs) will be
seen on the weight indicator. This
procedure may be repeated indefinitely ensuring that the datum
points can be re-checked, therefore a constant indication can be
determined.

Multi-Shot Tubing Punches are


designed to perforate tubing under
pressure. There are no explosives
used and with the proper punch
and bushing there is no danger of
perforating through the tubing and
into the casing.
The mechanical operation of the
Multi-Shot Tubing Punch is the
same as the standard field proven
wireline deployed mechanical Tubing Punch. Integral to the mechanical punch perforator is a hydraulic
system that, with the application of
pressure, will activate the tool to
punch a hole in the tubing. A reduction in the applied pressure will
cause the tool to re-set itself
enabling the tool to punch further
holes without bringing the tool back
to surface for re-setting.

If a more positive indication is


required, the Nipple Locator has
the added feature of a shear pin
sub. By pinning the shear sub with
predetermined shear pins, the Nipple Locator can be configured to
allow a significant increase in overpull. This more positive surface
indication of depth correlation can
permit an overpull of up to
5000Lbs, this operation is however
a one-shot operation and once the
pins are sheared, the Nipple Locator reverts back to the conventional
600-900lbs repeatable overpulls.

Multi-Shot Tubing Punches can be


run on a standard coiled tubing tool
string in conjunction with a hydraulically operated tubing anchor and,
if required, an indexing tool. The
Multi-Shot Tubing Punch should be
run in hole in the unset condition.
When at the required depth a pressure can be applied sufficient to set
the tubing anchor. By increasing
the pressure the mechanical punch
will be activated punching a hole in
the tubing. Once the hole has been
punched in the tubing a vent port
will be opened causing a pressure
drop, which can be seen at surface.

The Tubing Nipple Locator comprises of a spring loaded dog


assembly which provides a reliable
and repeatable means of tagging a
range of common nipples within a
specific tubing size. All springs are
encapsulated minimizing the risk of
mechanical tool failure from debris
ingress.
The Nipple Locator incorporates
Nickel Alloy springs as standard
and is therefore suitable for both
standard and H2S conditions.

Allowing the pressure to drop will


cause the punch to be retracted.
The pressure can then be bled to
zero releasing the hydraulic anchor
and allowing the tool to be moved
to a new position.

Rotary Jet Wash Tool

Flow Activated Jetting Indexing Tool

The Coiled Tubing Rotary Jet


Wash Tool is designed to be
used for both jetting and circulating operations when
cleaning and washing the
inside of the tubing. It can
also be used to assist in motivating the coiled tubing string
both in and out of the well.

Coiled Tubing Flow Activated


Hydraulic Jetting Indexing Tools
are designed to rotate jetting wash
nozzles, to allow full 360 bore
coverage.
The Jetting Indexing Tool is rotated
in a controlled 45 or 60 incremental manner by applying intermittent surface pump pressure.

The design of the Rotary Jet


Wash Tool works on the principal of applied fluid pressure
causing the nozzle to rotate
and jet the fluid against the
tubing wall in a full 360
degree rotating action. Rotary
Jet Wash Tools are available
in a range of sizes.

When flow pressure is increased


to the index operating pressure,
the lower half of the tool strokes
downwards and indexes. Maintaining the pressure then allows the
increased flow to jet through the
jetting wash nozzle. When the flow
pressure is decreased the tool
strokes back and completes the
indexing cycle.

Slimhole Jetting Head Assembly


Coiled Tubing Slim Hole Jetting Head Assembly are
designed to provide the operator with a tool assembly that
is the same diameter as the
coiled tubing and to incorporate the basic requirements of
any jetting or washing tool.

By repeating this operation a full


360 wash cycle can be achieved.
A range of jetting nozzles can be
supplied with the Jetting Indexing
Tool.

The Flapper Check Valve


Cartridge is used as the prime
safety barrier to prevent back
flow up the coiled tubing
should control of the pump or
ancillary surface equipment
be lost at surface for any reason.

Multi-Jet Wash Tool

By incorporating a conventional Roll-On Connector,


and facilitating the choice of
Jetting Nozzles, Wash Tools
or other slim hole tools into
the integrated design, the

Flow Activated Coiled Tubing Releasable Fishing/


Bulldog Spears are a variable catch internal spear
used to retrieve a lost cylindrical fish from the well
bore.

A complete range of slips


is available for each size
tool. To operate simply
run into the fish and set
down weight, pick up,
and retrieve the fish.

Lead Impression Blocks


are available in a range
of sizes.

To release from the fish


simply set down weight,
circulate in conjunction
with a PCE Hydraulic
Sequencing Tool above
the spear. The spear will
then release due to the
flow created differential.

Releasable Overshot
The Flow Activated Coiled Tubing
Releasable Overshot is a variable
catch external overshot used to
retrieve a lost cylindrical fish from
the well bore.
Flow Activated Coiled Tubing
Releasable Overshots operate in
the same way as a standard nonreleasable overshot. The tool is run
in hole until it over shoots the cylindrical fish and stops out. Pulling up
will cause the slips to set into the
fish. Where the coiled tubing
releasable overshot differs from a
standard overshot is that, should
the fish be irretrievable or simply
require transportation to another
location in the well, dropping a ball
or flow activation will enable the
tool to release from the fish and be
pulled back to surface.

Fishing Grabs
The Coiled Tubing Fishing Grab
is a tool normally used to
retrieve wire that has broken in
the tubing.
The Coiled Tubing Fishing Grab
consists of a box up connection
in a housing with either two or
three flexible prongs extending
downwards. Pointed barbs are
welded to the inside of the
prongs so as to form hooks that
will catch the looped end of the
broken line. The Coiled Tubing
Fishing Grab also has a large
flow through bore.

The Flow Activated Coiled Tubing


Releasable Overshot can be used
to fish lost or broken coil and tubing
and also coiled tubing tools that
have backed off down hole. Flow
Activated Coiled Tubing Releasable Overshots can be supplied to
overshot and seal onto a specific
fish in order to form a pressure tight
seal. This is of importance if there
is a flow activated tool beneath the
fish that requires operation before
the fish can be retrieved.

When a line breaks below the


stuffing box, a full gauge such as
a slotted skirt wirefinder is normally used to both locate and
ball up the broken end of the line
before running the fishing grab.
The fishing grab is flexible
enough to bend and can be
gauged for the tubing it is to be
run in. The prong ends of the
grab should fit snugly against
the walls of the tubing to help
prevent line bypass.

A complete range of hardened and


double tempered slips are available for each size tool.

Coiled Tubing Flow Activated


Alligator Grabs are a fishing
tool used to catch and
retrieve loose objects from
within the well bore. The
Coiled Tubing Flow Activated
Alligator Grab is run in the
permanently closed position
and is flow activated to the
open grab position by circulating fluid and creating a
pressure differential at the
tool.

The latching mechanism of


the tool utilizes hardened and
tempered parallel slips to grip
the outside diameter of the
'fish'.
Where required, threaded
main bodies are available to
enable bell guides to be fitted
for fishing small diameter
tools in large internal diameter tubing. They can also be
supplied with internal or
external fishing necks looking up to enable them to be
used in conjunction with a
Heavy Duty Running / Pulling
Tool.

Please note Coiled Tubing


Flow Activated Alligator
Grabs are not designed to
withstand heavy jarring operations in the event that the
jaws have gripped onto any
firmly stuck fish.
Coiled Tubing Flow Activated
Alligator Grabs should
always be run in conjunction
with a Sequencing Tool.

Venturi Junk Basket


The Coiled Tubing Venturi Junk
Basket is a tool which is used to
retrieve junk and debris out of the
well bore. When fluid is pumped
through the string of the coiled tubing and out through the nozzles in
the venturi chamber, a vacuum is
created in the venturi chamber.
Fluid is sucked from the bottom of
the tool exit back through the venturi tubes. Most of this fluid mixes
with the pressurized fluid to be recirculated around the bottom of the
tool.
The tool is essentially a high powered vacuum cleaner that may be
used with fluid, nitrogenated fluids
or gases. The nozzles in the tool
are simply changed out for the
available pump rate, fluid or gas. A
debris filter screen is placed before
the venturi chamber to prevent
debris from blocking the venturi
tubes.
A hollow magnetic section with a
finger type trap catches junk and
debris, which is then carried from
the well inside the tool.
Barrel extensions are available to
increase the volume of junk which
may be carried.
The tool is not dependent on hole
size to work, so for example you
could use a 3.1/8 o.d. tool to
retrieve debris from 7 casing.

Power Packs

The following contains hydraulic schematics for various power packs for your quick review.
Each power pack and their respective hydraulic circuits (i.e., injector, reel, levelwind, priority,
auxiliary, and BOP) are presented in their respective chapters.

Standard Open Loop


The standard open loop injector drive circuit utilizes a fixed displacement double vane pump
and a 4-way valve. The vane pump may be a Denison T6 Series pump actually consisting
of two vane pumps. The valve is a pressure compensating directional control valve that
controls the speed and direction of the injector motors.
The system is capable of operating at 3,000 PSI. The main relief valve is also set at 3,000
PSI. In simple terms, oil is taken from the tank, through the pump and valves, and to the
injector motors. Oil returns through a filter and air cooler and finally back to the tank.

Typical Hydraulic Schematic - Standard Open Loop Power Pack

High Pressure Open Loop


The high pressure open loop injector drive circuit utilizes a load sensed, variable displacement, pressure compensated piston pump which may be a Denison P16 pump (16 inch3/
revolution displacement). The system is capable of operating at 5,000 PSI. However, the
main relief valve is set at 4,600 PSI.
In simple terms, oil is taken from the tank, through the pump and valves, and to the injector
motors. The oil returns to the pump inlet (supercharging the pump) after passing through a
filter and heat exchanger. A pressure relief valve in the return line ensures oil that is not
required by the pump is routed back to the tank. This system does offer a couple of advantages over the closed loop system (even though this system is slightly more complicated).
The high pressure open loop system generates less heat, and can be used to power jacking
substructures / cylinders.

Typical Hydraulic Schematic - High Pressure Open Loop Power Pack

26

Closed Loop Power Pack

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Power Packs

The closed loop injector drive circuit utilizes a bi-directional, variable displacement pressure
compensated piston pump. This may be a Denison P11 or P14 pump. The pump actually
consists of three pumps: main pump, charge pump (charges the main pump), and servo
pump (shifts the swash plate).

Typical Hydraulic Schematic - Closed Loop Power Pack

The system is capable of operating at 5,000 PSI. The main relief valve is set at 4,600 PSI.
This system is less complicated when compared to the high pressure open loop system. In
simple terms, oil is taken from the tank through the pump and valves, and to the injector
motors. Oil returns through a filter and goes directly back to the pump inlet (not to the tank).
A charge pump and auxiliary flushing circuit are always present to replenish fluid that leaked
from the high pressure elements into the pump's case and to add cool oil into the low side of
the loop to stabilize the oil temperature.

Hydraulics

Hydraulic Components
In order to comprehend how hydraulic fluid power can be applied, a basic understanding of
how it works and the components involved is necessary.

Hydraulic Oil
Although most brands of the same type of oil will mix without harm, the oil supplier should be
consulted before doing so. The chemical additives (i.e., rust inhibitors, foam suppressants,
and viscosity index impovers) may not be compatible. To be safe, only use new oil taken
from original factory containers.
Did you know that oil never "wears out." However, it can become so contaminated that it is
unfit for further use. Solids contaminating the oil can come from different places:
Solids left in the equipment components when the system was constructed.
Solids generated within the system (normal wear of moving parts and packing
deterioration).
Solids produced by chemical action (overheating).
Solid contaminants most often enter the hydraulic system from the outside (such as dirt).

Dirt is one of the worst enemies of a hydraulic system. Dirt can enter a system through
quick disconnects and tank vents. Dirt around a tank cap that is not wiped clean before
checking the tank level can fall into the reservoir. All reasonable precautions should be
taken to keep dirt from entering fluid lines and reservoirs. Even new oil may contain dirt, so
pour it through a strainer using a clean funnel or hose. Never add used, old, or unknown oil
to the system.
Viscosity is probably the most important characteristic of the hydraulic oil. Viscosity is a
measurement of the resistance of the oil's molecules to flow past one another (something
like the internal friction of the oil). Since oil viscosity changes with temperature, it is always
expressed at a reference temperature, usually 100oF. As oil gets colder, it becomes more
viscous (like honey). Cold weather damage usually comes from trying to run on oil which is
so cold that the pump cannot draw it through the feed line to its inlet.
As oil gets hotter, its becomes less viscous. Most oils begin to breakdown at temperatures
above 180F. At this temperature or higher, the viscosity may become so low that lubrication
of components may be inadequate, components like rubber seals and filter elements may
deteriorate rapidly, and power loss becomes high. Oil life is shortened at high temperatures
because many chemical reactions can occur such as oxidation (reaction with oxygen from
the air), and reactions with minute quantities of acids which were not removed during the
refining process or which formed from moisture condensing in the oil. The oil should never
exceed 200F.
The hydraulic industry treats all liquids (e.g., hydraulic oil and water) as non-compressible
substances even though they are ever-so slightly compressible.

Hydraulic Reservoir
The main function of the reservoir in a hydraulic system is to store and supply hydraulic fluid
for use by the system. A reservoir can also serve several secondary functions:
By transferring waste heat through its walls, the reservoir acts as a heat exchanger that
cools the fluids within.
The reservoir allows entrained air to rise and escape performing the function of a
deaerator.
The reservoir acts like a fluid conditioner by allowing the solid contaminants to settle to
the bottom of the tank.

A typical industrial reservoir is constructed of welded steel plates. The inside of the reservoir is painted with a sealer that is compatible with the fluid being used to reduce the chance

39

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

of rusting caused by condensed moisture within the tank. A plug (usually magnetic) is
placed at a low point on the tank allowing complete drainage.
Clean-out plates are usually installed on both ends of the tank. This is especially true of reservoirs sized above ten gallons. The plates are easily removed and large enough to provide
complete access when the interior of the reservoir is being cleaned or painted.
Fluid returning to the reservoir is usually warmer than the fluid in the reservoir and probably
contains air bubbles. Baffles are used to prevent the returning fluid from directly entering
the pump inlet. A baffle plate is installed lengthwise through the center of the tank, forcing
the fluid to move along the reservoir walls, where much of the heat is dissipated to the outer
surfaces of the reservoir. This causes less turbulence which allows entrained air to escape
and contaminants to settle to the bottom.
A vented breather cap is installed to accommodate the air exchange that results from the
constant change of pressure and temperature within the tank. As the hydraulic cylinders
extend and retract, air is taken in and expelled through this filter. Generally, the breather
must be large enough to handle the airflow required to maintain atmospheric pressure,
whether the tank is empty or full (the higher the flow rate, the larger the breather). On a
pressurized reservoir, the breather is replaced by an air valve that regulates the tank pressure between preset limits. An oil bath air filter is sometimes used in atmospheres that are
exceptionally dirty.
The filler opening is often part of the breather assembly. The opening has a removable
screen that keeps contaminants out of the tank when fluid is being added to the reservoir. A
cap that will provide a tight seal should be chained to the reservoir. Another type of filler
opening is a quick-disconnect fitting screwed into a pipe that extends within a few inches of
the bottom of the tank.

Reservoir Oil Level


The oil level is checked using either a sight glass or two small transparent portholes installed
in the clean-out plates. This allows someone to check the upper and lower fluid levels without exposing the oil to contamination that can occur when using a dipstick.
Proper oil level in a hydraulic reservoir is essential for proper operation. The oil level should
be maintained 2" from the top of the tank. A low oil level will allow excessive condensation.
A high oil level will result in oil spillage due to expansion of hot oil.
Always open the access lid on the tank when filling the tank. The sight glass is not a very
reliable source of level indication when filling a tank.
Caution: When the hydraulic circuit includes a crane system make certain
the crane is in the proper stowed or transport position prior to filling the
hydraulic reservoir. If the oil contained in the extended cylinders is returned
to a full reservoir, extensive oil spillage will result and / or severe damage to
the hydraulic reservoir. The most common mistake is filling a tank to capacity
when the accumulators are charged with oil. When the accumulators are
emptied, the tank will overflow.

Draining Water from the Hydraulic Reservoir


Every unit supplied by Hydra Rig has a bottom drain that provides two functions.
1. Drain hydraulic oil from the tank when changing oil.
2. Drain water from the tank daily.
The proper procedure for removing water is to crack the drain valve open maybe turn and
let the water flow out of the tank. Opening the valve too much will give a false indication and
may allow only oil to be removed. If the valve is opened correctly, only water will come out.
When the water stops coming out, open the valve a little more and a mixture of water and oil
will appear. Continue this process until only oil is removed.

40

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

This should be done every day, even if the unit is not in service. If the unit is running, it is not
possible to drain the water because it is mixed together with the hydraulic oil. The best time
to drain the water is every morning before starting the unit. Removal of the water will
increase the life of all hydraulic components.

Strainers and Filters


Solid contamination can be removed with suitable filters. Some people can detect grit by
feeling of an oil sample. But if grit can be detected in this way, the oil is already highly contaminated--determine the cause and rectify the problem.
There is no clear distinction between a strainer and a filter. A strainer is usually considered
to be a coarse filter (filtering larger particles) that can be cleaned and then re-used. Strainers are generally placed inside the hydraulic tank. A filter is much finer. Consequently, a filter element cannot be cleaned and reused--it must be replaced. As a rule-of-thumb, any
filter with a rating coarser than 40 micro-metre may be called a strainer (25 micro-metres =
0.001 inch). Don't forget, small particles may not be picked up on their first pass through the
filter (even within a fine filter) but may circulate many times before being caught.
It's good practice to filter the hydraulic oil while it is being added to the system. There are
many commercial filtration systems available on the market. Progressive filtration systems
are the best. The typical progressive system filters the oil to 50 micron, then to 30 micron,
and finally 10 micron. It is also good practice to recirculate the oil through this progressive
filter system at pre-established maintenance intervals.

Hydraulic Hoses
If ordering a hose, be sure and order a "hydraulic grade" hose. A hose is measured and
specified by its inside diameter. Its outside diameter will vary according to the number of
layers of wire braid and rubber which must be used to obtain the pressure rating. Hose life
is good but all rubber slowly deteriorates from contact with various substances such as solvents, water, ozone, and exposure to sunlight and heat. Hoses are not as permanent as
metal plumbing and should be replaced every few years.

Hydraulic Piping and Fittings


Pipe ratings for hydraulic pipe and tubing are rated schedule 40, 80, and 160.
Pipe fittings are a very important element of a hydraulic system. The first step to plumbing a
system is to minimize the pressure drops by ensuring the proper size fittings are included.
Every 90 turn adds a pressure drop. If designing a system, spend the time required to layout flow paths and minimize restrictions.
There are various fitting threads available:
37 JIC (straight thread)
SAE (straight thread backed-up by an O-ring seal)
NPT (pipe thread which is a tapered thread and seal)

Most systems are plumbed with JIC or SAE fittings. JIC is the thread of choice when using
hoses. JIC fittings provide a metal-to-metal seal and the most popular for all applications.
SAE fittings are more common than NPT fittings. SAE threads are backed-up by an O-ring
seal. Straight threads are susceptible to loosening on their own when subjected to high
vibration.
NPT fittings have a "tapered" seal and threads. The tapered threads can add to distortion in
valve bodies and other distortion-sensitive devices if overtightened. NPT threads will not
accept SAE threads and vice versa.

Fluid Power Principals


How Fluid Power Works
The input source of power for a fluid system is always mechanical (engine) or electrical
(electric motor). The mechanical or electrical power is converted into an equivalent amount
(less pump leakage and internal friction) of fluid power by means of an a hydraulic pump.
After conversion to fluid power, suitable valving is added to control the direction of flow, regulate the rate of flow, and limit the maximum pressure. The fluid power is then converted
back to mechanical power by means of an actuator (hydraulic motor or cylinder).

Work / Energy
Work can best be defined as a force exerted over a certain distance. Work is usually
expressed in units of foot-pounds or inch-pounds.
work (foot-pounds) = force (pounds) x distance (feet)
Energy is the capacity to do work and is expressed in the same units as work. You may be
familiar with three forms of energy: potential, kinetic, and heat.
When a 500-pound weight is raised and stops at a predetermined height, it has potential
energy--it is capable (has the potential) of doing work when it is lowered.
Kinetic energy is the energy that a substance has by virtue of its weight and velocity. A body
in motion has kinetic energy--it is also capable of doing work.
Energy that we lose to friction is transformed into heat energy.

Heat Energy
Heat is actually a form of energy. Used in a productive manner, heat can change liquid nitrogen into a gaseous phase. Can you think of an example when heat is not used in a productive manner? How about when hydraulic oil gets hot. Whenever oil goes from a higher
pressure to a lower pressure without doing mechanical work, heat is created. Actually, the

42

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

kinetic energy is converted into heat energy. Examples would be oil flowing over a relief
valve, oil flowing through an orifice, internal slippage in a pump, and flow resistance in
plumbing. This heat is added to the oil and a large part dissipated in the reservoir or through
a heat exchanger.
When fluid changes direction in a pipe, a certain amount of kinetic energy is again changed
into heat energy. Consequently, power is lost when fluid either changes direction or when
heat is created and not used in a productive manner.
As a side note, the heat generated by oil flowing across a relief valve over a period of time
can be calculated with the following formula.
Heat (BTU / hr) = pressure (psi across relief) x flow rate (gpm discharge) x 1.4848

Power
Power, or horsepower, expresses the rate at which work is performed. The amount of power
(horsepower) transmitted through the fluid will depend on how fast the actuator (hydraulic
motor) moves. The faster the rate, the greater the horsepower.
power = work / time = (force x distance) / time
Power flows through a pipe only when the fluid is moving and when it is under pressure.
Unless both conditions exist, no power is being transferred. If the fluid is under pressure but
is not moving, only force is being transmitted (no matter how much pressure is showing on
the gauge) and the power flow is zero. When the fluid starts to move, power and force are
being transmitted.
force = pressure x area "or" pressure = force / area
area of a circle = 3.1416 x (radius)2 = 0.7854 x (diameter)2
A pressure gauge is the usually used to determine the pressure in the formula above.

Origin and Definition of "Horsepower"


Did you know that 1 horsepower is equivalent to a 150 pound weight raised a distance of
220-ft in one minute?
The use of "horsepower" as a unit of measurement has been around since 1879. Its origin
is credited to the Scotsman, James Watt. He invented the first steam engine that could turn
wheels. In those days, horses were used to raise water from the mines. In order to promote
the use of the steam engine, Mr. Watt had to tell the mine owners how many horses could be
replaced with the engine. He estimated that a very strong horse working at a steady average rate could lift a 150 pound load to a height of 220 feet in one minute's working time.
Thus, he defined a horsepower as 220-ft x 150-lb = 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute
(or 550 foot-pounds per second). As it turned out, this estimate was higher than the average
horse could produce but the definition has continued up to the present time.

Hydraulic Pumps
A pump is a device for changing mechanical power from the prime mover (engine or electric
motor) into the same amount of fluid power, less friction and flow loss in the pump itself.
hydraulic horsepower = (psi x gpm) / 1714
The friction and flow loss are not taken into account in the above equation. This is usually
done by expressing a certain pump efficiency (e.g., 85% efficiency). The flow output of a
pump is directly proportional to shaft speed of the prime mover. If speed is increased by
50%, the flow output will increase by approximately the same amount.
A pump's primary purpose is to produce flow, not pressure.

43

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

A pump can produce its rated flow at zero pressure and still fulfill its primary purpose. The
pump produces pressure only as a secondary function and only when a load or restriction is
placed against its flow--like blocking the end of a water hose. The pump will build up only
enough pressure to maintain its flow against the flow resistance. Therefore, pressure read
on a pressure gauge at the pump will be exactly proportional to the resistance which the
pump is working against.

Positive Displacement Pumps


A positive displacement pump is any kind of pump in which the internal working elements
make such a close fit together that there is very little leakage or slippage between them.
These include:
- piston pumps
- vane pumps
- gear pumps.
There are many variations of each but we will limit our discussion to the types of pumps
commonly used by Hydra Rig. Please note, centrifugal pumps are NOT positive displacement pumps.
Various pump features available on today's market are shown below.
- fixed displacement
- fixed displacement, bi-directional
- variable displacement
- variable displacement, bi-directional
- variable displacement, pressure compensated
- variable displacement, pressure compensated, load sensed (used on the Hydra Rig
high pressure open loop injector drive circuit such as a Denison P-16 pump)
- variable displacement, bi-directional, pressure compensated (used on the Hydra Rig
closed loop injector drive circuit such as a Denison P-14 pump.
A circle is the basic symbol for all pumps, both air and hydraulic. The triangle points toward
the pump outlet because fluid is flowing out of the pump (on a motor it points toward the circle center). A solid triangle indicates a hydraulic pump while an open center triangle indicates an air compressor. Two solid triangles pointing in opposite directions indicate a bidirectional pump (flow in the reverse direction is possible). A long slanted arrow drawn
through the circle indicates a variable displacement pump. A small arrow pointing toward
the pump outlet indicates a pressure compensated pump.

Various Types of Pumps Used by Hydra Rig

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

Piston Pumps
The purpose of a positive displacement pump is to produce a flow of liquid. If this flow is
deadheaded (plugged), the pump will continue to produce a flow and pressure will continue
to rise. The pressure in the flow line will increase until something breaks (line, valve, or the
pump casting), or until the engine's horsepower limitation is reached. Consequently, a pump
must be "unloaded" rather than deadheaded when its flow is not needed. This may be
accomplished with a relief valve.
Piston pumps can be manufactured with closer internal fits than vane or gear pumps. This
means internal slippage can be less and the pump can operate with reasonable efficiency at
pressures both too high or too low for vane and gear pumps. All piston pumps have case
drain connections. Oil that by-passes the pistons accumulates in the case and lubricates
the moving parts. Never plug all the drain connections. This would cause a pressure buildup in the case and the shaft seal to blow out.

Variable Displacement Piston Pumps


The variable displacement feature allows you to remotely control the flow output of a specific
pump. This is desirable when you want to run more than one pump off a single engine. It's
also beneficial because less heat is generated in the hydraulic system--you only generate as
much flow as required.
In a CTU (coiled tubing unit) closed loop injector drive circuit, the injector speed is controlled
by the pump's swashplate angle which is controlled by the valve labeled "Injector Control In
/ Out" on the control panel (a valve built by Munson Tison or Gresen).
In a CTU high pressure open loop injector drive circuit, the pump has a variable displacement feature (swashplate). The swashplate angle is controlled by a load sensed 4-way
valve which is controlled by the Munson Tison.
In the illustration that follows, a variable displacement piston pump is shown with only one
piston inside a cylinder barrel. As a side note, this piston pump is also known as an axial or
in-line piston pump because the pistons are rotating about the same axis as the pump shaft.
Let's see how this pump works. An engine turns a shaft which turns the cylinder barrel. As
the cylinder barrel rotates, the piston is also forced to rotate. However, the piston is also
forced to ride along the surface of the swashplate (due to the placement of a shoeplate and
bias spring).
The swashplate does not rotate and can be positioned at various angles. As the cylinder
barrel rotates, the piston moves out of the cylinder barrel and generate an increasing volume. As the cylinder barrel completes its full rotation, the piston moves into the cylinder barrel and generates a decreasing volume.

Variable Displacement Piston Pump

45

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

In actual practice, the cylinder barrel is fitted with many pistons. To separate the incoming
fluid from the discharging fluid, a port plate is positioned at the end of the cylinder barrel
opposite the swashplate.
The displacement is determined by the swashplate angle. By varying the angle, the pump's
output flow can be changed. The pump will develop no flow when the swashplate is centered.

Bi-directional Variable Displacement Piston Pumps


On a CTU, only the high pressure open loop injector drive circuit contains the bi-directional
feature. It also happens to have the variable displacement feature.
Some swashplates have the capability of crossing over center. This results in reverse flow
(as the cylinder barrel remains rotating in the same direction). These types of pumps are
referred to as bi-directional variable displacement piston pumps. You can see from the illustration that follows that the angle of the swashplate determines which ports are the inlet and
outlet.

Pump in Center Position (No Flow)

Full Displacement (Reverse Flow)

Bi-directional Variable Displacement Piston Pump

Pressure Compensated, Variable Displacement Piston Pumps


On a CTU, the closed loop injector drive circuit AND the high pressure open loop injector
drive circuit contain the pressure compensated feature.
As the symbol shows, a small arrow inside the circle that points in the same direction as the
pump outlet represents a pressure compensating pump. The slashed arrow through the circle represents a variable displacement pump. As a side note, both piston and vane pumps
can have pressure compensating and variable displacement features.
The pressure compensator control automatically positions the swashplate to maintain a constant output pressure. Thus, the pump compensator control reduces pump output to only
the volume required to maintain a preset pressure (remotely set by using the R1E valve in

46

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

the control cabin labeled "Injector Pressure Adjust"). If maximum pressure is obtained
(pump becomes overloaded), the compensator will reduce the pump displacement enough
(to zero displacement if necessary) to keep pressure from rising above the preset limit.
A pressure compensator protects:
- the pump and the entire system from being damaged by excessive pressure,
- the driving engine or motor from being overloaded and stalled, and
- overheating of the system.
Maximum flow is allowed only when pressure in the flow line is less than the compensator
setting.

Hydraulic Hand Pumps


Hand pumps are always of the piston type. Hand pumps generally serve as standby pumps
on hydraulic systems for emergency power if the main power input should fail. They are
capable of developing pressure just as high as power driven pumps although at a much
slower rate.

Vane Pumps
The vane pump is also a positive displacement pump. The illustration below shows a fixed
displacement vane pump. How does it operate? An engine will turn a shaft which is keyed
to rotor. Within the rotor are slots. These slots house vanes which are individually attached
by a spring. As the rotor rotates, the vanes are carried around by the rotor and kept in continuous contact with the cam surface by centrifugal force or other means.
Common service problems, other than shaft seal replacement may include occasional vane
or vane spring replacement, or replacement of the cam ring due to washboarding caused by
erosion at points of high pressure and high velocity.

Gear Pumps
Two steel gears rotate inside a housing. The "drive" gear (keyed to the shaft) meshes with
and turns the "driven" gear. Gear teeth make a tight sliding fit in the housing. As the gears
rotate, a flow path is created around the outside of each gear. A suction is created at the
inlet port as oil is carried away by the gear teeth. The oil is forced from the outlet port by the
oil coming in behind it. Meshing of the teeth in the center of the pump seals the outlet port
from inlet port. In most cases of a pump failure, the bearing fails first.

Gear Pump - Cross Sectional View

Pump Cavitation
A pump is said to be "cavitated" when inlet oil (for whatever reason) is not entirely filling the
cavities on the intake part of the pumping cycle. A dirty strainer or low oil level in the reservoir can cause cavitation. If the flow of oil is not sufficient to carry away the heat produced
by mechanical friction, damage to the pump bearings can occur. Lack of cushioning
between pumping elements may also cause impact damage. More pump and system failures occur due to cavitation than from any other single cause.

Pump Life Expectancy


Pump life varies between manufacturers and the type of application. Pump life will also
depend on factors such as system filtration, oil cleanliness, amount of side or end loading
permitted on the shaft, oil temperature, degree of cavitation at the pump inlet, and misalignment of the pump and motor shafts. Which do you have control over? The bearing life
depends on two factors: shaft speed and operating pressure.

Storing a Pump
If a pump is to be out of service for longer than 6 months, its case should be filled with oil
and the ports plugged before it is stored. A small air pocket should be left to allow for expansion of the oil if the pump will be subjected to heat.

Pump Speed
A pump becomes less efficient at lower speeds due to internal slippage. The amount of oil
lost is proportional to pressure, not to speed. At a low speed, overheating may occur
because pump flow may not be sufficient to carry away heat generated by the friction losses
and internal slippage. Consequently, rubber shaft seals can be damaged by excess heat.

Velocity vs. Flow Rate


Velocity refers to the speed of a fluid (how fast it travels) and may be expressed in feet per
minute or feet per second. It describes the distance traveled in a certain time frame.
Flow rate may be expressed in gallons per minute. Flow rate describes the volume of fluid
traveled in a certain time frame. A one gallon bucket may be filled in one minute (1 gpm)
48

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

with either a fluid traveling at 5 fps through a large hose or with a fluid traveling at 10 fps
through a smaller hose. In both cases, the flow rate is still 1 gpm.
You may want to use one of the control valves discussed in the next section if you wish to
regulate the flow, flow direction and pressure into the bucket.

Control Valves
As fluid exits the pump, valves are used to control the fluid flow to the actuator. Control
valves can be classified into four groups.
- Directional control valves
- Pressure control valves
- Motion control valves
- Flow control valves

Directional Control Valves


As the name implies, directional valves start, stop, and control the direction of fluid flow.
You will commonly hear of valves referred to as 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way valves. This terminology refers to the number of active porting connections.

- Thus, a "2-way" valve has two main portholes.


- A "3-way" valve has three main portholes.
- A "4-way" valve has four main portholes.
The terminology "3-way" and "4-way" are a little misleading because it does not truly
describe the valve action.
On 3-way and 4-way valves, the inlet ports will be marked P (or P1 and P2 if there are two
inlets); outlet ports will be marked with the first letters of the alphabet (A, B, C, etc.); exhaust
ports will be marked T for tank.

49

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

2-Way Valves
2-way directional valves are simply used for "starting and stopping" fluid flow. Examples
include shut-off valves (ball valves, gate valves, and needle valves) and check valves. Port
markings show P for inlet and A for outlet.

2-way Valve

Several shut-off valves can be used in combination to control the direction of an actuator.
Occasionally, a shut-off valve is used in such a way that it becomes a flow control valve
(e.g., used to meter flow and shut it off).

3-Way Valves
Valves for controlling direction of movement of a cylinder or hydraulic motor have 3-way or
4-way action.

3-way Valve

The shuttle valve can be classed as a 3-way valve with no normal position. It has two inlets
(P1 and P2), and one outlet (A). It can accept flow from either of the two inlets. The inlet
with the higher pressure passes through to a single outlet while keeping the two inlet fluids
isolated from one another.

4-Way Valves
A 4-way valve is connected four ways into a circuit. It has four main ports: one pressure inlet
(P), two outlets (A and B), and one tank port (T). Port markings for auxiliary functions may
vary between manufacturers but many valves use the letter X for connecting to an external
pilot pressure source, and Y to indicate an external drain port.

4-way Valve

4-way valves have two (or more) grooves on the spool for handling two separate flows of the
same fluid at the same time. They are capable of controlling direction on double-acting cylinders or reversible fluid motors.

Sectional Valves
A sectional valve (or bank valve) is a composite of two or more valve sections bolted
together. They are intended for the operation of several branch circuits from one hydraulic
pump and will include a built-in pressure relief valve. On a CTU, a sectional valve is used in
the levelwind hydraulic circuit.

Normally Open / Normally Closed


A valve spool is moved to various positions by either manual, mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic force. Various types of manual actuators include levers, push buttons,
and pedals as depicted below.

The terms "normally closed"


and "normally open"
are frequently used. These
terms describe the condition of the inlet port (whether open to flow or closed to flow) when
the valve is in its non-actuated or de-energized state. Valves which do not have internal
springs do not have a "normal" position. When shifted, they remain in this state until shifted
to another position.

51

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

Detents
A detent is a locking device to keep a spool in the desired shifted position. In the illustration
below, the ball is forced out of one notch and into another notch when the spool is shifted.

2-Position Detent

Direct-Acting Solenoid Valves


These valves use a solenoid for shifting the valve spool. The solenoid armature is directly
linked to the spool and provides the necessary push or pull "muscle" for shifting. In a single
solenoid valve, the spool is driven in one direction by the solenoid force and in the other
direction by a spring after the solenoid is de-energized. The single solenoid valve operates
on a "maintained" electrical signal to stay in its shifted position. Breaking the signal allows it
to return to its "normal" position.

Pilot-Operated Solenoid Valves


For the main spool to shift, the solenoid must be energized, and in addition, sufficient pilot
pressure must be present to furnish shifting power.

Dump Valves
A dump valve (e.g., ball valve, needle valve, etc.) is a valve used to dump oil back to the
hydraulic tank.

Sequence Valves
A sequence valve is a valve used in a sequential action (causing a sequence of events). Its
purpose is to maintain a pre-determined minimum pressure in the primary line while the secondary (or sequential) operation takes place. Sequence valves are primarily used on nitrogen units.

Pressure Control Valves


Pressure control valves limit system pressures to a maximum or regulate reduced pressures
in certain portions of a circuit. Various pressure control valves are stated below.
relief valves
unloading valve
pressure reducing valves

52

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

It is not uncommon to hear a relief valves or unloading valve referred to as "by-pass" valve.
These two valves are 2-way, normally closed valves. Let's look at each valve separately to
gain a better understanding.

Relief Valves
A relief valve limits the maximum level to which the system pressure is permitted to rise. It
acts as a "safety valve." Virtually every kind of positive displacement pump should be protected with a relief valve. It is a 2-way, normally closed valve. It remains closed until the
pressure from the pilot line rises to the relief setting providing a path for the oil to return to
the tank (while maintaining the pressure in the flow line at or below the relief valve setting
pressure).
The pressure setting in a pressure control valve is usually varied with a screw adjustment
which compresses or decompresses a spring.

Resisting
object

Direct-acting relief valves can actually serve many purposes. They may also be used to
pilot a larger relief valve, to supplement a pressure compensated pump, or act as a cushioning device.

Simple Hydraulic Circuit With a Direct Acting Pressure Relief Valve

A direct-acting relief valve uses a spring to hold the poppet on its seat. When the pressure
in the flow line exceeds the spring pressure, the poppet is lifted off its seat so that flow can
be diverted to the tank.

the main poppet. If not used, it should be plugged.

54

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

Unloading Valves
Generally speaking, an unloading valve is a directional valve. It operates in one of two definite positions, open or closed. However, its purpose is to unload the pump--to divert pump
flow directly to the tank in response to an external pressure signal. Therefore, it might better
be thought of as a pressure control valve.
Worded differently, an unloading valve is a normally closed valve which directs flow to the
tank when a set pressure is maintained on its pilot port.

Unloading Valve

On a CTU, an unloading valve can be found on the BOP circuit to both limit the maximum
pressure and unload the pump when the desired accumulator pressure is reached. Consequently, the accumulator pressure may be maintained between 2700 psi and 3000 psi at all
times. An unloading valve can also be found in the priority circuit on the control panel.

Unloading Valve in BOP Circuit

Pressure Reducing Valves

55

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

A pressure reducing valve is the equivalent of a pressure regulator in a compressed air system. It is a normally open valve which maintains a reduced pressure in part of the circuit
while the remainder of the system operates at full pressure. Stated in another way, The
pressure reducing valve limits the maximum pressure at its outlet regardless of the inlet
pressure.

A pressure reducing valve senses fluid pressure after it has passed through the valve. As

435 psi.

Troubleshooting Procedures
Hydraulic System Check
This section describes a step-by-step check for hydraulic systems which have previously
been working satisfactorily but developed trouble--usually within the previous 24-hour working period.

Figure 2.21 Simple Hydraulic Circuit

This circuit is typical of many industrial fluid power systems. Any major component (pump,
relief valve, cylinder, 4-way valve, or filter) could be at fault. In a highly sophisticated system, there are other minor components which could be at fault but these possibilities are too
numerous to be covered in this brief discussion. By following this organized step-by-step
procedure, the problem can usually be traced to a general area, then if necessary, each
component in that area can be tested or can be temporarily replaced with a similar component known to be good. It makes good sense to first check the areas which give the most
trouble on most systems--so this is how we'll start.
To checkout the system, at least one pressure gauge is necessary and should be installed in
the pump pressure line as shown.

Step 1 - Pump Inlet Strainer


The trouble most often encountered in the field is cavitation of the hydraulic pump--caused
by a build-up on the inlet strainer. It can even happen on a new system after a few hours of
operation. The symptoms include an increased pump noise, loss of high pressure, and / or
cylinder speed.
If there is not a strainer located in the pump inlet line, it will usually be found immersed below
the oil level in the reservoir. Some operators are not aware of a strainer in the reservoir (if
they are, they do not clean it regularly). A dirty strainer restricts flow into the pump and may
cause the pump to fail prematurely.
The inlet strainer should be removed and cleaned whether or not it appears dirty. Some
clogging materials are hard to see. If there are holes in the mesh or other obvious physical
damage, a new strainer should be installed. Wire mesh strainers can be cleaned effectively
with an air hose, blowing from the inside out. They should be washed in a solvent, using a
bristle brush. If possible, use a mineral spirits solvent. One brand is sold under the trade
name of Stoddard Solvent. If no safe solvent is available, and if necessary to use a hydrocarbon solvent such as kerosene, work outdoors and far away from open flame or other heat
source. Never use highly flammable solvents such as gasoline, lacquer thinner, naphtha,
etc. After cleaning with solvent use an air hose to blow out all the remaining solvent.
When re-installing the strainer, inspect all joints in the inlet plumbing for air leaks, particularly
at union joints. There must be no air leaks in the inlet line. Check the tank oil level to be
57

sure it covers the top of the strainer by at least 3-inches (which is with all cylinders
extended). Notice the condition of the inlet hose (if one is used). A partially collapsed hose
or one with internal swelling has the same effect as a clogged inlet strainer.

Step 2 - Pump and Relief Valve


If cleaning the pump strainer does not correct the trouble, isolate the pump and relief valve
from the rest of the system by disconnecting the plumbing at Point B and capping both ends
of the disconnected lines. This deadheads the pump into the relief valve. First, back off the
relief valve then start the pump and watch the gauge for a pressure build-up as the relief
valve adjustment is tightened. If full pressure can be developed, obviously the pump and
relief valve are operating correctly and the trouble is further down the line. If full pressure
cannot be developed, or if the pressure is erratic, continue with Step 3.

Step 3 - Pump or Relief Valve?


Further testing must be done to determine whether the pump is worn out or if the relief valve
is malfunctioning.
Discharge from the relief valve tank port must be observed. If possible, disconnect the tank
return line for the relief valve at Point C. Attach a short length of hose to the relief valve outlet. Hold the open end of the hose over the tank filler opening where the rate of flow can be
observed. Start the pump and run the relief valve adjustment up and down while observing
the relief valve discharge flow. If the pump is bad, a full stream of oil may possibly be
observed when the relief valve is backed off but this stream will greatly diminish or stop as
the relief valve setting is increased. If a flowmeter is available, the flow rate can be measured and compared with the catalog flow rating of the pump.
If a flowmeter is not available the flow can be estimated by discharging the stream into a
clean container over a measured time interval. However, even without any measurement of
the flow volume, a bad pump is indicated if discharge flow varies widely as the relief valve
adjustment is run up and down. The discharge flow should be fairly constant at all pressure
levels, dropping off slightly at higher pressures.
If the relief valve discharge line cannot be disconnected, a person can place his hand near
the discharge opening inside the tank and can detect a large change in the flow volume as
the pressure is varied.
If the flow decreases as the relief valve setting is raised, and only a moderate but not full
pressure can be developed, this may also indicate pump trouble. Proceed to Step 4.
During this test if gauge pressure does not rise above a low value, 100 to 200 PSI, and if the
discharge flow remains constant as the relief valve adjustment is tightened, the relief valve
may be at fault and should be cleaned or replaced as instructed in Step 5.

Step 4 - Pump
If a full stream of oil is not obtained in Step 3, or if the stream diminishes markedly as the
relief setting is raised, the pump is probably worn out. Assuming that the inlet strainer has
been cleaned and the inlet plumbing has been inspected for air leaks and collapsed hoses,
the pumped oil is slipping inside the pump from the outlet back to the inlet. The pump may
be worn out or the oil may be too thin. High temperature in the oil will cause it to become
thin and slip excessively. High slippage within the pump will cause it to run much hotter than
the oil in the tank. In normal operation (with a good pump), the pump case may run 20 to
30 F higher than the temperature in the oil tank. If greater than this, excessive pump slippage may be the cause.
Also, check for a sheared shaft key, broken shaft, broken coupling, loosened set screw, slipping belts, and other possible mechanical causes.

Step 5 - Relief Valve


If Step 3 has indicated the relief valve may be at fault, the quickest proof is to temporarily
replace it with one known to be good. The faulty valve may later be disassembled and
58

Hydraulics

cleaned. Pilot-operated relief valves have small internal orifices which may become blocked
with dirt. Use an air hose to blow out all passages and pass a small wire through the orifices. Also, check for free movement of the spool or poppet. Pipe thread connections in the
body cause the spool to bind. If possible, check for spool binding before unscrewing
threaded connections. While testing on the bench, screw pipe fittings tightly into the port
threads.

Step 6 - Cylinder
If the pump will develop full pressure while deadheaded into the relief valve in Step 2, both
components are good. Test cylinder piston seals if applicable.

Step 7 - Directional (4-Way) Valve


If the cylinder has been tested for piston leakage and found to have reasonably tight piston
seals, the 4-way control valve may be checked for excessive spool leakage. It is rare that a
valve becomes so worn that the pump cannot build up full pressure, but it can happen.
Symptoms of excessive leakage in the valve spool include a loss of cylinder speed while
having difficulty in building up full pressure (even with the relief valve adjusted to a high setting). This condition is more likely to happen when using a pump with small displacement
operating at very high pressure, and might have developed gradually over a long time.
Valve spool leakage can be checked.

Other Components
If the above procedure does not reveal the trouble, check other components individually.
Usually the quickest and best troubleshooting procedure is to replace suspected components one at a time with similar ones known to be good. Pilot-operated solenoid valves
which will not shift out of center position may have insufficient pilot pressure available.

Troubleshooting Hydraulic Pumps


The pump is the component subjected to the most wear and the one most likely to give trouble. On systems where the pump has to be replaced more often than seems necessary, one
or more of the following problems may be the cause.

Pump Cavitation
Cavitation is the inability of a pump to draw a full charge of oil either because of air leaks or
restrictions in the inlet line. When a pump starts to cavitate, its noise level increases and it
may become very hot around the shaft and front bearing. Other symptoms of cavitation are
erratic movement of cylinders, difficulty in building up full pressure, and a milky appearance
of the oil. If cavitation is suspected, check these following points of interest.
1. Check conditions of the pump inlet strainer. Clean it even if it does not look dirty.
Varnish deposited in the wire mesh may be restricting the oil flow but may be almost
invisible. If brown varnish deposits are found on the internal surfaces of the pumps
or valves, this is a sure indication that the system has been operating at too high a
temperature. A heat exchanger should be added.
2. Check pump inlet strainer size. Be sure the original strainer has not been replaced
with a smaller size. Increasing its size (number of square inches of filtering surface may
help on some systems where the original size selection was marginal.
3. The use of a higher quality oil may reduce formation of varnish and sludge.
4. Check for restricted or clogged pump inlet plumbing. If hoses are used, be sure they
are not collapsed. Only hoses designed for vacuum service should be used at the pump
inlet which have an internal wire braid to prevent collapse.
5. Be sure the air breather on the reservoir is not clogged with dirt or lint. On systems
where the air space above the oil is relatively small, the pump could cavitate during
its extension stroke if the breather became clogged.

59

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

6. Oil viscosity may be too high for the particular pump. Some pumps cannot pick up
heavy oil on prime or will run in a cavitated condition. Cold weather start-up is particularly damaging to a pump. Running a pump across a relief valve for several
hours to warm up the oil can severely damage the pump if it is running in a cavitated
condition during this time.
7. Determine recommended pump speed. Be sure the original motor has not been
replaced with one which runs at a higher speed.
8. Be sure the pump has not been replaced with one which delivers a higher flow. This
might overload the inlet strainer.

Air Leaking Into the System


The air which is in a newly assembled system will purge itself after a short time. The system
should be run for perhaps 15 to 30 minutes under very low pressure. Air will dissolve in the
oil (a little at a time) and be carried to the reservoir from where it can escape. Of course, this
process can be accelerated by bleeding air from high points in the system.
Air which comes into the system from continuous air leaks will cause the oil to assume a
milky appearance a short time after the system is started, but the oil will usually become
clear in about an hour after shut-down. To find where air is entering the system, check the
following points of interest.
1. Be sure the oil reservoir is filled to its normal level and that the pump intake is well
below the minimum oil level.
2. Air may be entering around the pump shaft seal.
3. Check for air leaks in the pump inlet plumbing (specially at union joints). An easy
way to check for leaks is to squirt oil over a suspected leak. If the pump noise
diminished, you have found your leak. Check also around the inlet port. Screwing a
tapered pipe fitting into a straight thread port will damage the thread, causing a permanent air leak which is next to impossible to repair.
4. Air may be entering through the rod seal of a cylinder.
5. Be sure the main tank return line discharges well below the minimum oil level and not
on top of the oil. On new designs, it may be helpful to enlarge the diameter of the
main return line a few feet before it enters the tank. This causes oil velocity to decrease
which minimizes turbulence in the tank.

Water Leaking Into the System


Water leaking into the system will cause the oil to have a milky appearance while the system
is running but the oil will usually clear up in a short time after the pump is shut down as water
settles to the bottom of the reservoir. Water usually enters a system in the following two
ways.
1. Condensation on the interior surfaces of the reservoir which are above the oil level.
This is almost unavoidable on systems operating in environments where ambient
temperature changes from day to night. During periods when the reservoir walls are
cooler than the surrounding air, condensation may take place if ambient humidity is
fairly high. Since water settles to the bottom of the reservoir, the practical solution is
to daily or weekly tap off this water through the drain valve. This should be done
after the pump has been shut down long enough for the water to settle.
2. A leak in a water cooled (shell and tube) heat exchanger may leak water into the oil if
water pressure is higher than pressure of the oil being cooled.

Oil Leakage Around the Pump


1. Leakage Around the Shaft
There is usually a slight internal pressure behind the shaft seal on piston pumps and
other pumps which take inlet oil from an overhead reservoir. As the seal becomes well
worn, external leakage may appear. This will usually be more pronounced while the
pump is running and may disappear while the pump is stopped.

60

Coiled Tubing Equipment


Hydraulics

Other pumps such as gear and vane types usually run with a slight vacuum behind the
seal. A worn-out seal may allow air to leak into the oil while the pump is running and
oil to leak out after the pump has been stopped.
Prematurely worn shaft seals may be caused by excessive oil temperature. At oil
temperatures of 200 F and higher, a rubber shaft seal will have a very short life.
Abrasives in the oil may wear out shaft seals quickly, and may also produce circumferential scoring on the shaft. Check all crevices and cracks in the reservoir where
dust could enter. The most common entry point is through the reservoir air breather.
2. Leakage Around a Pump Port
Sometimes leakage at these ports may be caused by damaged threads (e.g.,
screwing a taper pipe thread fitting into a straight thread port). Once the threads
have been damaged it is very difficult ever to obtain a leaktight seal.
Check the tightness of the fittings in the ports. If a sealant is used, we recommend
Teflon Sealant which comes in the form of a paste. We do not recommend Teflon tape.
Beware of screwing taper pipe threads too tightly into a pump or valve body casting.
In the past this has been the cause for many cracked pump housings.
3. If leakage is from a small crack in the body casting, this has most likely been caused
by over-tightening a taper pipe fitting, or from operating the pump in a system where
either the relief valve has (at some time) been adjusted too high, or where high
pressure spikes have been generated as a result of shocks. While it is possible for
the casting to have been manufactured defective, this has rarely turned out to be the
cause.

Pump Noise Has Recently Increased


1. Cavitation of pump inlet. Refer to corrective measures previously described.
2. Air leaking into the system from low oil or other causes previously described.
3. Mechanical noise caused by loose or worn coupling, loose set screw, badly worn
internal parts, etc.
4. System may be running with oil temperature too high.
5. Pump may be running at higher than rated speed.

Nitrogen Pumping Equipment


Vaporization Process

Vaporization Process
Heat generated by the unit (engine water, hydraulic oil, and lube oil) is transferred to a coolant mixture via the:
- Lube heat exchanger,
- Hydraulic heat exchanger, and
- Engine heat exchanger.
On larger units (360k or bigger), an optional exhaust heat recovery is also utilized. However, these are not found on the 90k and 180k units.
And finally, some heat is generated by a water brake (commonly referred to as the dyno or
dynomomter). The water brake consists of friction plates (rotors and stators). As the coolant mixture passes through these friction plates, it becomes hotter.
The coolant mixture is a mixture of water and glycol. A larger percentage of water is used in
desert locations where freezing is not a problem. Please note, the ratio of water to glycol will
affect the performance of the unit. If you alter this ratio, your unit will perform differently.
Why? Because water transfers heat better than glycol. The glycol is required to prevent
components from rusting and the water from freezing.
The heat from the coolant mixture must now be transferred to the nitrogen. This takes place
at the heat exchanger commonly referred to as the vaporizer.
Consider the coolant tank as the starting point while tracking the coolant mixture around the
unit. The coolant mixture is taken from the tank, into the water pump to be pumped to the
vaporizer (entering in a "heated" state but leaving in a much "cooler" state). Next, the coolant mixture flows through the lube, hydraulic, and engine heat exchangers. From there, fluid
can be diverted to the water brake (during operations) and finally back to the coolant tank.

Vaporization Process

Water Pump (also referred to as the Coolant Pump)


This is a positive displacement vane pump which propels the coolant mixture through the
coolant circuit.

Vaporizer
This is the only point where heat is transferred to the nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen enters the
vaporizer (at approximately -320F) through a piece of stainless tubing. Inside the vaporizer, the tubing is coiled tightly together so that a large amount of tubing is inside. Nitrogen
exits the vaporizer in a gaseous state (maximum approximately 120F).
Also entering the vaporizer is the coolant mixture which floods the vaporizer and flows
around the tubing bundle at a pressure of 80 to 150 psig.
The gaseous N2 temperature is controlled by the:
- Liquid N2 flow rate through the triplex cold ends, and
- the inlet coolant mixture temperature and flow rate. This coolant loop temperature is
manually controlled to maintain a steady input to the vaporizer between 100 to
140F (maximum 180F).
This discharge gas is normally measured in SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per Minute) or
SCMM (Standard Cubic Meters per Minute) and shown on the control panel as the Pump
Rate. This "nitrogen discharge rate" is a calculated figure using a magnetic pickup reading
from the triplex (measuring the number of strokes) multiplied by an efficiency factor (e.g.,
87%), and displayed in SCFM or SCMM. Note, there is no flow meter to monitor the exact
amount of gas being pumped into the well.

Heat Exchangers
There are two basic types of heat exchangers utilized:
- the shell and tube heat exchanger (on new units), and
- the plate heat exchanger (on older units).
Both function virtually the same. A heat exchanger normally has two isolated fluid paths. As
two different temperature fluids flow through these paths, the higher temperature fluid gives
up heat to the fluid at the lower temperature.
In the shell and tube type heat exchanger, the colder fluid flows through a tube. This tube is
tightly wrapped inside the shell. The warmer fluid enters the shell and surrounds the tube.
Consequently, the fluid inside the tube becomes warmer.

Lube Heat Exchanger


When the coolant mixture leaves the vaporizer, it passes through the lube heat exchanger.
The coolant mixture is cooler than the lubrication oil passing by it. Consequently, a percentage of the heat from the lubrication oil is transferred into the coolant mixture. It's main purpose is to control the lube oil tank temperature.
In cold weather, a reverse heat exchange is possible--the coolant loop (warmed by use of
the water brake) transfers heat to the lube oil. This is desirable because it allows the unit to
warm up faster, thus being able to start operations sooner.

Hydraulic Heat Exchanger


After leaving the lube heat exchanger, the coolant mixture enters the hydraulic heat
exchanger. This allows the coolant mixture to absorb additional heat created from the
hydraulic circuit. However, the hydraulic heat exchanger's main purpose is to control the
hydraulic tank temperature.

In cold weather, a reverse heat exchange is possible--the coolant mixture (containing fluid
warmed by use of the water brake) transfers heat into the hydraulic oil. This is desirable
because it allows a cold unit to warm up faster, thus starting operations sooner.

Engine Heat Exchanger


(not the radiator)
After leaving the hydraulic heat exchanger, the coolant mixture enters the engine heat
exchanger. This allows the coolant mixture to absorb additional heat created by the engine
"cooling" system (radiator water). It also helps control the engine temperature. The amount
of heat transfer varies depending on the horsepower draw or the engine load.
If the engine is having to work hard, it will generate more heat in the radiator system. This
heat is transferred to the coolant mixture and transferred again to heat the LN2 to a gas.
For example, the engine is capable of producing 540 horsepower. If you are pumping at
maximum rate and 1,000 psi discharge pressure, you may only use 200 horsepower to drive
the triplex. Little heat is created by the engine. Therefore, the water brake will have to be
used.
However, if you are pumping at maximum rate and 10,000 psi discharge pressure, you may
use 350 horsepower to drive the triplex. More heat is created by the engine. Consequently,
the water brake is used less or not at all.

Exhaust Heat Recovery


(Optional on larger units)
Some larger nitrogen units (360,000 SCFH and larger) may use water cooled manifolds or
an exhaust heat exchanger or both. By use of secondary or direct heat exchangers, the
exhaust heat is transferred into the coolant fluid.

Power Control Valve and Back Pressure Valve


The "Back Pressure Valve" is set at Hydra Rig for maximum performance and should not be
adjusted. It is set to the required pressure to feed the water brake via the "Power Control
Valve." It also allows the coolant mixture to go directly back to the coolant tank.
Coolant mixture going to the water brake is controlled by the "Power Control Valve." If the
"Power Control Valve" is closed, the water brake is still lubricated with the coolant mixture
through the "Bleed Water" line.
Remember, the water pump (or coolant pump) is a positive displacement vane pump. If it is
running and both valves are closed, something will fail.

Water Brake
Hydra Rig commonly refers to the water brake as the "dynamometer," "dyno," or "hydromatic
brake." These terms are often used interchangeably.
The water brake consists of "friction plates" or rotors and stators. When the engine is running, the rotors are always turning. The speed of the rotors is controlled by the speed of the
engine. However, the operator should not adjust the engine rpm up and down but rather
open and close the "Power Control Valve" to control the heat of the coolant mixture.

Nitrogen Tanks

Nitrogen Tanks
Nitrogen tanks consist of two tanks (a stainless steel inner and carbon steel outer tank). The
tank piping is made of stainless steel while the fittings are made of cast bronze.
Insulation is placed between the two tanks to keep the inner vessel as cold as possible. The
insulation is either perlite or super-insulated material. You will find old tanks that used perlite. New tanks are manufactured with the super-insulated material (40 layers of fiber paper
and aluminum).
A vacuum is pulled between the tanks to get rid of all the air. Air will transfer heat. The vacuum level can be checked at any time using a special electronic gauge which measures in
microns. The vacuum is pulled by connecting a vacuum machine to the evacuation valve on
the front of the tank.

Hydra Rig Nitrogen Tank

Acceptable Vacuum Levels


1. For perlite-insulated tanks:
- 200 microns or less while cold (with LN2 in the tank), or
- 800 microns or less while warm (without LN2 in the tank).
2. For super-insulated tanks:
- 50 microns or less while cold (with LN2 in the tank), or
- 200 microns or less while warm (without LN2 in the tank).
Low pressure tanks will typically lose about 0.75% of LN2 per day.

Pressure Ratings
Most inner vessels are not designed to withstand external pressure (i.e., 2 psi may be
enough to collapse the inner vessel). The inner vessel is made of stainless steel. It is pressure tested to 1 1/2 times working pressure.

Nitrogen Tanks

During a job, a common low pressure tank pressure should be maintained at approximately
30 psig. This can be monitored by using the pressure gauge labeled TANK PRESSURE.
The main popoff attached to the tank is set by Hydra Rig at 43 psig. There are also two
burst discs valves (one is optional) attached to the tank which are set at 53 psig as an added
safety feature. These burst discs are made of aluminum and plastic. While transporting the
tank, the road relief valve is used. It is set at 15 psig.
The small curved relief valves on the fill, fill / drain, and recirculation lines are set at 200 psi.

Filling The Tank


How full do you fill the tank? Connect your N2 supply to one of the fill lines, open the trycock, and begin filling the N2 tank. Stop filling the tank when LN2 comes out of the trycock.
When this happens, the tank is approximately 95% full. This leaves room for gas expansion.
A gauge on the tank labeled TANK CONTENTS will show the amount of LN2 in the tank
measured in "inches of water." A chart is placed on the tank to convert this measurement to
gallons. To use this gauge correctly, the three small valves below the gauge (Equalizer
Valve, Liquid Valve, and Gas Valve) should all be open.

Nitrogen Tanks

Saturated LN2
While sitting idle, the LN2 in a tank will gradually absorb heat and generate pressures up to
the relief valve setting. This will slightly increase the temperature of the LN2--causing vapor
to coexist within the LN2. As the tank becomes hotter, the pressure increases, the LN2
becomes hotter, and more LN2 changes to a gas. This gas remains trapped within the LN2-referred to as saturated nitrogen. Saturated nitrogen means that gas and liquid are in equilibrium at a certain pressure and temperature--it may be a lot of gas or it may be a little gas
depending on the pressure and temperature.
There is another reason the LN2 becomes hotter in the tank. Heat is introduced into the
LN2 while it is being circulated with the boost pump (due to friction and piping in direct contact with the atmosphere). Consequently, even more LN2 changes into a gaseous state.
Actually, the warmer gas coexists within the colder LN2--this is what we refer to as "hot
LN2."
When the "hot LN2" is recirculated back into the top of the tank. You may hear someone
say that "air bubbles enter the tank." It is not air but nitrogen gas entering the tank.
The saturated LN2 will create problems trying to keep the boost pump and cold ends
primed. You will have to blow down the tank (vent all the gas off), and then pressure up the
tank again to get rid of the vapor trapped in the LN2. The illustration below may help you
understand.
"Boiling nitrogen" or "LN2 boiling" refers to the condition when the surrounding area is
warmer than the LN2. While the LN2 tries to cool the surrounding area it looks like a pot of
water boiling on the stove.
