COIL TUBING APPLICATIONS

Vibration Technology Coil Tubing Vibration System

Advantages of Vibration in Coil Tubing Applications

• Quickly and Easily Applied
• No Downhole Intervention
• Reduced Risk
• Simplified Decision Making
• Demonstrated Results
• The coil is not cut so that full well control is maintained and associated costs are eliminated.
• The coil is not worked over the gooseneck so coil fatigue damage is minimized.
• Wireline services along with the attendant risks are not needed.
• The operation is conducted from surface utilizing equipment suspended above the wellbore.
• The coil unit remains in place to assist the vibration operation as well as to immediately recover the coil when it becomes free.
• Pipe vibration can be quickly applied with very little preparation.
• Typical job duration is less than one day.
• Pipe vibration is low risk with respect to further deteriorating the situation.
• Results are often immediate and thus considerable expense and risk can be eliminated in resolving a stuck tubing situation.

Coil Recovery Operations

Well Preparation
Kill the well and stabilize the coil injector head with support legs.

Rig Up and Attachment to Coil
A crane or workover rig is required to support and handle the oscillator and coil string. Oscillator to coil attachment is accomplished by use of friction clamps.

Crane Requirements
Crane should have at least 80 tons lift capacity, boom working height of at least 80 feet, and be equipped with a weight indicator.

Safety Requirements
A personnel basket or lift is required in order to allow work at the top of or above the coil injector head.

The Bottom Line

Vibration Technology offers a unique and demonstrated superior approach to resolving a stuck coil situation. It is easy to apply, can be done very quickly and often produces instant results. The Coil String does not have to be cut in order to apply the vibration process.

Pipe vibration is a new and proven approach for resolving stuck coil situations. It offers many advantages to cutting the coil and proceeding conventionally. Been there? Done that? Vibration Technology has successfully recovered stuck coil in sizes 1" to 1-3/4" diameter from depths of 1,000 ft. to 14,000 ft.
