Coiled Tubing BHA’s
• What is needed to do the job?
• What can go wrong?
• What do you need to get out of trouble?
• How could you prevent it?
• Where are the “needed” tools, talent, equip, fluids, etc, located?

Pre Rig-up Issues• Is this the right tool for the job?• What are lessons learned from others? • Check CT history and model remaining life
against operational requirements.• Does your BHA and job design leave
sufficient alternatives if problem countered?
• What over-pull remains at bottom of well? • Determine operation “killers” and minimize
risks.3/14/2009 3

Other Rig-up Notes• Measure all parts of the BHA (O.D.s & I.D.s)
• CT can collapse (with check valves in place) while pressure testing tubing. Be aware of differential pressures.
• Rigid extensions needed on CT to bypass GLM’s?
• Any upsets or non-beveled areas on the tools?
• Hydraulic disconnects compatible with other parts of the BHA?
• BHA compatible with wellbore restrictions?3/14/2009 4

Collapse more common than neck down
The collapse failure is more common in the field because of CT ovality and annular pressure reducing collapse resistance.

Axial Load Capacity
• The one-dimensional axial load capacity of the tubing is considered to be the tension load that will produce a stress in the tubing equal to the minimum yield.
Ly = SyAwhere: Ly = CT load cap. at yield, lbs
Sy = yield strength of the CT, psiA = x-sect. area of CT, in2

Load Capacity Example
• For a 1.5”, 0.109 wall CT of 70,000 psi yield strength steel, the one-dimensional load capacity at yield is:
Ly = 70,000 psi x 0.476 in2= 33,320 lb
an 80% operating factor is common..…
• Ly = (0.8)*33,320 = 26,656 lb

Operating Safety Factor Suggestions
• 0.8 under best conditions - new strings, especially high strength strings
• 0.5 to 0.7 for field welds– 0.7 for welds in lower section
– 0.5 for welds in upper section
– 0.5 for questionable welds
• 0.4 to 0.5 for corroded strings– consider refusing the string if corrosion severe
– refuse string if any evidence of pin holes3/14/2009 46

WeldsThe heating that occurs during the welding process will cause the weld metal and the heat affected zone around the weld to be physically different from the surrounding, original metal.
An anode is created by this difference.
An anode can start here or here.

Internal Yield Pressure (Burst)
PB = 2 (t wall-min)Sy/OD
Where:
PB = internal yield or burst pressure, psi t wall-
min = thinnest wall, in
Sy = yield strength of the CT, psi

Burst Pressure:This one is really tricky!
• Depends on:– CT size
– CT wall thickness
– CT strength
– damage (dents, corrosion, ovality, fatigue)
– offsetting pressure (it’s a differential)
– mechanical loads? - (compression? - usually not a factor)

Collapse Pressures
• Derated by tension
• charts are not accurate - tube not round– One of the biggest misrepresentations in the CT
data is that of collapse pressure data.
– Personal Opinion - use these charts as the best possible case and derate the prediction at least 30%.

Collapse Curves
• They may not be accurate:– Curves do allow deration of CT collapse limits by
tension
– However, no considerations of effect of swell/ovality/damage/corrosion…
– Derate further??? Suggest 30% if you know loads will vary.

Ovality
• Diameter increases most along sides and walls thin proportionally.
• Ovality creates unequal stress on CT.
• Some total diameter swell
Ovality = (OD max - OD min)/OD spec.
Solution? Measurement, Testing, Life models and, oh yeah, Experience.

CT Collapses
• CT collapses from a few feet to over 1100 ft have been reported. The problem is that CT is often operated right on the edge of material strength so any disturbance spike (sudden application of load) that can push it to collapse may trigger a collapse in several hundred feet of tube - like a run in hose.
• Remember, tensile force changes as well unloads?

Worst (?) Cases
1. High annular surface pressure
2. Long CT string
3. Heavy BHA
4. Large diameter BHA
5. Viscous annular fluids
6. Highly ovaled or damaged CT strings or sections
7. Corrosion
Ps
Most severe problem jobs for CT collapse:
1. POOH with any BHA
2. POOH through severe dogleg
3. Fishing (and jar action)
4. Trying to free stuck tubing

Collapse
• Variables– Strength of CT– Condition of the CT - big variances– Ovality of CT– Size of CT– Damage (corrosion, wear, ovality, dents, etc)– External pressure (pressure differential)– Axial load

Collapse Summary
• Changing variables = moving target. Watch the balance of surface pressure, friction and load. All of these change during the job.
• Sudden application of load more likely to promote CT collapse than a steady pull
• Collapse curve accuracy?? Only for round tubes - CT isn’t.

Accuracy Problems
• For any constant shape and size piece of pipe, an expression or method of prediction for tension, collapse, or burst can be generated. BUT, CT is a reel of variences handled by a system of extremes. The best we can do are estimations.

Torque
• Usually we don’t push the torque limit in workovers– need to rotate is very limited
– smaller motors are very limited in torque output
• This changes in CT Drilling, especially with big motors

Fillup
• Volumes vary with OD and wall thickness
• Remember, the volume of CT is not just what’s in the well - it includes what’s on the reel.
• Friction can be a killer when rates are needed - remember: reel + well.

Swab/Surge Forces
• “Plunger force” - tremendous force exerted event in small movements because of large area affected.
• Close clearances and high tool movement speeds increase the swab/surge force
• Circulation while pulling lessens swab/surge loads

Swab Forces
• Problems– small hole volumes
• small gas influx causes large underbalance - get in trouble quickly
– large BHAs - swab force increased sharply– continuous, fast movement of CT– horizontal holes
• gas storage area - isn’t apparent on surface gauge quickly - must monitor trip tanks.

Max tool length through the bend area….
Max length of stiff pipe or tool…
L=1/6[R2 - (R - ^d)2]1/2
where:
L = tool length, ft
R = curve radius, inches
^d = ID casing - OD tool (inches)
