Directional Coiled Tubing Drilling (CTD) has been used successfully in fields across the USA including: Alaska, Texas, California, Kansas, and Michigan amongst others (Figure 2). The established technique revitalizes mature oil and gas fields and, in particular, there has been high growth in deployment across the Middle East with a doubling of the CTD rig […]

Well consider that in the system across the pressure loss energy cannot be created or destroyed. Think of the pressure as a sort of energy in terms of the kinetic movement of the gas particles. At high pressures the gas molecules are tightly packed and cannot vibrate or bounce far before a collision occurs and […]

Benefits: Shift multiple sleeves up or down in one trip, with proof of a completed shiftGet positive identification when the desired sleeve is reached Shifting tools give you assured opening and closing of your sliding sleeves and isolation valves. Our range of shifting tools are easily deployed on coiled tubing or wireline and provide a […]

These mechanisms include: Crushing: The teeth on the cones exert downward pressure on the rock, causing it to crush and break apart. Chipping: As the teeth make contact with the rock, they chip away at the surface, creating small rock particles. Scrape: The rotating cones scrape and grind the rock, helping to remove material from […]

system consists of multiple stages of centrifugal pumps which are connected to a submersible electric motor. The motor is powered by heavy duty cables connected to surface controls.The motor rotates the shaft which is connected to the pump. The spinning impellers draw in fluid through the pump intake, pressurizing it and lifting it to the […]

It is when a hole is worn in the pipe, and becomes increasingly larger due to circulating drilling fluid. This can eventually sever or twist off the pipe entirely. Washouts usually occur at rotary connections, due to improper make-up, cracks or defective materials. From the surface, a washout may be indicated by a gradual decrease […]
