Courses
Coiled tubing courses
Practical training in coiled tubing, from the field fundamentals to job design. The courses are in preparation and are for information only.
In preparation
Who it is for
-
Crews and field technicians
What the equipment is, what each step of a job is for and why it is done in that order.
-
Young engineers
The calculations behind a job, step by step, with worked examples you can reproduce.
-
Engineers and supervisors
Designing a job and reviewing a plan against what the numbers say.
Planned modules
Each module that has a calculation comes with the matching tool on this site, so you can try the numbers as you read.
- 01
Coiled tubing fundamentals
The string, the reel, the injector and the surface equipment, and what each is for.
- 02Open the tool
Hydraulics and pressure loss
Friction pressure in straight and reel-wound tubing, and how the fluid model changes the answer.
- 03Open the tool
Tubing limits
Burst, collapse and tension limits, and the von Mises check against the yield strength.
- 04Open the tool
Nitrogen operations
Nitrogen volumes and displacement, and how the gas behaves with pressure and temperature.
- 05Open the tool
Well control
Killing a well by bullheading or circulation, and the kill sheet of a drilling well.
- 06Open the tool
Bottom hole assembly
Choosing and arranging the tools on the end of the string, and drawing the BHA.
How it will work
- Self-paced, with material to keep.
- Calculations step by step, with worked examples.
- Plain language, with the numbers shown.
