Description

The 24-month project 1) reviewed all aspects of coiled- tubing drilling, completion, production, and workover technology, 2) updated existing PC programs, and 3) developed new PC programs needed by participants to overcome field problems. Information for the reports was obtained from technical literature, field tests, service companies, operators, and laboratory tests. The objective of the project was to keep participants abreast of the latest technical developments in coiled-tubing technology and to assist them in implementing this technology into their operations.
