A comprehensive study was conducted on the strategic use of coiled tubing (CT) to convey over 1,200 ft of perforating guns in single runs in extended-reach wells, effectively overcoming the lockup effect in a 7-in. monobore completion using downhole tractor and real-time monitoring tools. This solution served as the key enabler for the project, reducing risks and maximizing operational efficiency. Compared with tubing-conveyed perforation (TCP), the CT approach exhibited superior efficacy.
