Coiled tubing
Each of these papers presented at SPE conferences exemplifies engineering solutions to maximize commercial value while retaining focus on HSE and service quality.
This paper describes the use of coiled tubing in a pilot project for carbon dioxide injection, enabling evaluation of the conversion of an existing oil field for CCS purposes and derisking storage-development uncertainties before having to cease hydrocarbon production.
This paper describes the first riserless coiled tubing services operation performed in a live subsea well and the associated improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and safety.

There has been remarkable growth in the coiled-tubing industry in North America, resulting largely from the shale revolution. This growth attracted numerous new players into the industry, in addition to the capacity additions made by the existing service providers. -
Horizontal wellbores typically encounter inefficiencies caused by friction during drilling and completion operations.
-
Sticking the coiled tubing (CT) is a major operational risk when performing a well intervention with CT. Stuck-pipe incidents often result in considerable production delay or, in the worst case, loss of the well.
