In the coming years, the Middle East region expects sustained growth in the number of extended-reach wells and uncemented completions, as operators are targeting maximum reservoir contact well designs as a key strategy for field development.

In support of this strategy, coiled tubing (CT) intervention is one of the preferred execution methods for transporting fluids to the target zones. Acidising and conformance control systems require accurate placement and benefit from deeper reach, smaller displacement volume, and reduced fluids contamination provided by coiled tubing execution. The inclusion of advanced chemistries, specialised downhole tools, real-time downhole data, and distributed temperature measurements has also enabled addressing challenges in complex wells that may not be intervened effectively through conventional methods.

This session will discuss recent case studies for stimulation and implementation of novel chemistry, where CT technology played a critical role in addressing intervention challenges, contributing to the development of advanced workflows.
