Introduction to Coiled Tubing Operations
Disciplines: Production and Operations
Course Description
Topics:
- Introduction to surface equipment required to deploy coiled tubing during field operations
- Basic understanding of coiled tubing pre-job modeling and fatigue tracking - and why it’s important
- Challenges associated with use of coiled tubing on extended-reach wells and techniques for addressing those challenges
- Coiled tubing modeling software will be utilized to identify and address potential pre-job design issues
This introductory course will provide an understanding of the surface equipment and key job design parameters required for successful coiled tubing field operations.

Why Attend
The course will provide participants with a basic knowledge of coiled tubing operations and the equipment utilized to deploy it in the field. It will highlight key pre- job design parameters required for successful field operations. Participants will also have the opportunity to utilize coiled tubing modeling software during the course to better understand the impact of changing field job parameters on the outcome of the field operation.
Who Attends
Engineers and others with six months or less experience that are involved in the design of coiled tubing equipment or use of coiled tubing field services.
Special Requirements
Laptop PC (Windows™ operating system) with pre-installed coiled tubing modeling software. Course participants will be provided with modeling software download instructions prior to the course. Basic knowledge of well completion/workover techniques will be beneficial.
