Advanced Coiled Tubing Engineering and Best Practices

Instructor: Todd Green

This seminar will begin with a very brief review and refresher of basic CT equipment and well control components. The remainder and primary focus of the seminar will be on job design consideration, safety considerations, and job execution of common CT intervention job types including:  Nitrogen lifting, Proppant or fill cleanout, Milling, Acid Stimulation, logging, and perforating.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize and explain function of CT surface equipment
  • Recognize and explain function of PCE and BHAs
  • Identify and describe critical job design considerations for each job type that should be present in a contractor CT job proposal
  • Discuss risks associated with each CT intervention and the corresponding mitigation controls recommended for each job type
  • Optimize the CT intervention efficiency and success by applying industry best practices and lessons learned for each job type
  • Attend and assess ongoing CT intervention’s  success at the wellsite for each job type
