Well intervention
North Sea operators produced an additional 16 million BOE from 56 reinstated wells in 2025 as improved intervention efficiency lowered costs and helped restore shut-in assets to production, according to the NSTA.
This paper details a trial involving the deployment of a transportable coiled tubing (CT) unit capable of holding 30,000 ft of high-strength 2⅞-in. CT.
This paper presents a novel approach to overcoming extended-reach limitations in coiled tubing interventions by using a split-string system, demonstrating measurable improvements in reach and operational speed in laterals exceeding 3 miles.
