Not just for fatigue tracking anymore

摘要

Enhancements to existing coiled tubing modeling software are enabling more cost-effective operations to be safely performed under increasingly challenging conditions. It's frustrating to be unable to reach the desired wellbore depth with a specific tool because it can't pass through a dogleg in the well bore. Ever experience a bad day in the field where the coiled tubing (CT) was accidentally parted or buckled as a result of not stopping the injector fast enough? Many of us have observed well intervention stacks swaying during land or offshore field operations. Have you ever pondered if the stack design had an adequate margin of safety under those conditions? While there's no uniform solution to these problems, proper pre-job design and use of advanced software tools can help avoid unpleasant and potentially unsafe outcomes during CT operations.
