CT String Manufacturing and Construction
CT is manufactured from flat metal strips, called skelps.
String construction and manufacturing processes depend on:
Type of assembly weld (butt weld, bias weld)
Wall thickness configuration (non-tapered, tapered, true taper)
Special purpose strings (weld bead removal, coated CT)

CT String Evolution

WELL INTERVENTION
 Butt Welds

A high percentage of failures occur in the HAZ of the weld bead.

The material in this area fatigues much more rapidly than the parent material,
especially in a sour gas environment.

HAZ (Heat Affected Zone): approximately 3/8 from
the weld

WELL INTERVENTION
Butt welds
Failures
Butt welds typically fail during cycling, not
during tensile overloads
Butt welds fail in their heat affected zone
(HAZ)
Welding should be considered a heat
treatment, increasing the hardness of the
steel

3. CT Applications
A. Fluids conveying

62 WELL INTERVENTION
Well Kill/Kick-Off (Fluid Circulation)

Fluid circulation and placement:

Dense fluid well kill
Light fluid kick-off

Design services used to optimize:

Surface choke control
Fluid volumes
Depths to position CT

63 WELL INTERVENTION
Nitrogen Applications
Nitrogen is used to displace fluids from the
wellbore. Two main applications
Kick Off
As the fluids are displaced and the
pressure exerted on the reservoir
decreases, the hydrocarbon begins to
flow.
Underbalance preparation
Fluids are displaced by Nitrogen until the
hydrostatic pressure of the fluid is
reduced to the desired level for
Engineered solutions using CoilCADE
Software used to
Select optimum depth
Select lowest practicable N2 rate

64 WELL INTERVENTION
Wellbore Fill Removal
Coiled tubing (CT) cleanouts are used to clean debris and/or particulates from wellbores. Water- or
oil-based fluids can be used, mixed with nitrogen if required. Most cleanouts are done with a simple
BHA consisting of a connector, a double check valve, and a wash nozzle. Wash nozzles are offered
in many different configurations, depending on the particular job and preference.
Engineered services provided to model accurately taking into consideration:
Wellbore profile and BHP
Fluid characteristics and rate

65 WELL INTERVENTION
Acid Wash
CT is placed across the required interval
and reciprocated while pumping acid.
Ensures acid is not contaminated with
borehole debris from above the zone of
interest.

Engineered software used to optimize:

Length of interval treated

Inhibition schedules (Temperature)
Flow-back or clean-up

66 WELL INTERVENTION
Screen Wash

CT is used to jet along screen sections

to remove soft and soluble deposits, by
both fluid circulation and chemical
dissolution methods.

Engineering and software utilized to

optimize:

No Recessed Nozzle Heads. Uses Same Surface
Radial Only Hardware as Existing Blaster.

68 WELL INTERVENTION
Matrix Acidizing - Diverted
CT is placed across the perforated interval and reciprocated while the acid is pumped, placing the
unspent and undiluted acid directly across the interval in question. The acid is not contaminated
with borehole debris when it is placed though CT. Furthermore, live acid does not contact the
wellbore, thereby protecting the production tubing and hardware. The well can be put back on
production immediately after the stimulation operation by jetting it with nitrogen pumped through the
CT. This reduces the chance of any by-products precipitating as the acid is spent.
Engineered servcies ensure treatment is designed considering :-
Length of interval
Type, quality and placement of diverter

69 WELL INTERVENTION
Chemical Treatment
Utilized for removal of soluble deposits
(waxes, parafins, etc) from wellbore or
perforations. CT is placed across the
required interval and reciprocated while
pumping desired chemicals. Ensures
chemicals are not contaminated with
borehole debris from above the zone of
interest.
Treatments optimized through:
Determination of deposit chemical
composition
Determination of surface area of deposits
Optimizing penetration rates and use of
mechanical assistance (jetting)

70 WELL INTERVENTION
Water Control Polymer Injection

Techniques utilized can be pumping

only, pumping with use of downhole
tools for diversion. During treatment,
chemicals are injected into formation to
shut off water production.

Treatnents optimized by :
Minimizing treatment interval length
Accurate placement reduces
communication between zones

71 WELL INTERVENTION
Cement Placement
When wells are abandoned or recompleted, CT
can place very small volumes of cement inside
the well very accurately. The cement can be
placed as a balanced plug at an exact spot in
the well. Perforations can be squeezed and
fluids can be pumped to dress off the top of a
plug or to clean out any excess cement inside
the well. Consequently, less preparatory work is
required to recomplete the well.

Engineering services ensure accurate

placement of cement slurry considering:
Temperature and pressure conditions
Cement slurry characteristics
Cement column stability
