Learning Level

Introductory to Intermediate

Course Length

2-days

Why Attend

On day 1, attendees will learn the basics of the coiled tubing equipment, the coiled tubing string and downhole tools. They will learn the basic engineering concepts, calculations, and considerations to design, plan, execute and evaluate their operation, both from the engineering and practical scenarios. Practical scenarios for both land (conventional and unconventional) and offshore operating environments are discussed. Proper planning of a coiled tubing operation is fundamental for its success.

On day 2, attendees will learn about more complex coiled tubing applications, where both wellbore and reservoir engineering considerations must be accounted for, as fundamental part of the operation. Wellbore clean outs, cementing thru coiled tubing, matrix acidizing, tubing conveyed perforating (TCP), coiled tubing logging and extended reach wells (unconventional).
