When dealing with coiled tubing stuck in the hole, the three scenarios you mentioned are critical to diagnose and address. Here’s an overview of how each scenario might be approached: 1. Coiled Tubing Itself Stuck: - Possible Causes: Mechanical obstructions, differential sticking, formation bridging, or debris. Troubleshooting: - Check for any known obstacles or well conditions that could cause sticking. - Apply a working fluid to reduce friction. - Use jar tools to apply impact force. - Circulate fluid to clean the wellbore and attempt to free the tubing. 2. BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly) Stuck: - Possible Causes: Key seating, differential sticking, or pack-off. - Troubleshooting: - Assess the wellbore conditions and drilling parameters. - Attempt to rotate or reciprocate the BHA. - Use specialized fishing tools to latch onto the BHA and pull it free. - Circulate fluids to alleviate any pack-off conditions. 3. Stuck in the Stuffing Box: - Possible Causes: Ballooned coil, excessive stuffing box pressure, or mechanical issues within the stuffing box. - Troubleshooting: - Inspect the stuffing box for mechanical issues or wear. - Adjust the stuffing box pressure to an optimal level. - Consider using lubricants to ease the passage of the tubing. - If ballooning is suspected, reduce internal pressure in the coiled tubing. General Approach to Stuck Coiled Tubing: 1. Assess the Situation: - Determine the exact location and nature of the sticking. - Review operational data to identify any anomalies or patterns. 2. Pulling Limits: - Coiled tubing is considered stuck if it cannot be pulled free at the lesser of 80% of the weak link rating or 80% of the minimum yield rating of the coiled tubing. Exceeding these limits risks breaking the tubing. 3. Communication and Safety: - Maintain clear communication with the team. - Ensure all safety protocols are in place to avoid accidents during the recovery operations. By systematically diagnosing and addressing these scenarios, the chances of successfully freeing the stuck coiled tubing are improved. ٠The photo is not related to the post

#CoiledTubingOperations. ● Coiled tubing is a technique used in the oil and gas industry for well intervention and production activities. ● It involves the use of a long, continuous metal tube that is coiled onto a reel and then deployed into a wellbore. ● Coiled tubing operations can include activities such as well cleaning, acid stimulation, hydraulic fracturing, nitrogen kickbacks, and even drilling. ●The coiled tubing is typically inserted into the well through the production tubing or casing and can reach considerable depths. It is often used in situations where conventional methods, such not cost-effective. Coiled without the need to repeatedly insert and retrieve tools from the well. ● The coiled tubing itself can be made from various materials, including steel or composite materials, depending on the specific requirements of the operation. It is usually flexible and can be spooled onto a large reel for transport. ● Overall, coiled tubing plays a crucial role in various aspects of the oil and gas industry, providing a versatile and efficient method for well intervention and production activities. ■Factors affecting fatigue life For Coiled Tubing: 1-size of bending radius:A large gooseneck causes less string fatigue than a smaller gooseneck. 2-internal pressure : The pressure inside a CT string while spooling from a reel and over the gooseneck increases the amount of fatigue a CT string experiences greatly. Cycling the CT string at the same point at high pressure over the gooseneck must be avoided because it will result in high CT fatigue. 3-size of CT: Larger sizes of CT string becomes more fatigued than smaller sizes if bent over the same gooseneck. For this reason, larger goosenecks are used with larger sizes of CT string. 4-wall thickness: A low wall thickness section of CT string fatigues more quickly than a high wall thickness section. 5-welds: Welds in a string will fail from fatigue before the tubing itself will. 6- Proper Spooling : Bad spooling when you receive new reel will effect the coil Life. The most important damage mechanism affecting CT is fatigue caused by bending and pressure. #Oilfield #Operations #WellIntervention #ProductionTubing #healthandsafety #petroleumengineering

Coiled Tubing Complete Guide | #drilling_manual Coiled Tubing (CT) is a continuous length of small-diameter pipe that is spooled onto a reel in the same way as wire or cable is wrapped on a drum. The coiled tubing operation permits the technique of "snubbing" a continuous length of tubing in and out of a live well through a stripper BOP arrangement. The main advantage of Coiled Tubing is that it can be run into producing wells, against high wellhead pressures (e.g. 345 bar / 34,500 kPa or 5000 psi), and down past the perforations, without production interruption or killing the well (Wait and Weight - Driller's Method)......

Blowout preventer or BOP stack✨ is the tool in the petroleum industry to prevent such a horrible event like blowout to occur. It consists of several large valves stacked on top of each other. Rigs usually have two type of BOP stack. ✨The one on the top is an annular preventer, ✨and below the annular preventer are ram preventers. Annular preventers or spherical preventer 🤍are able to seal around several size of drill pipe, drill collar, work string, wireline, tubing, etc. The annulaer preventer caonsists of a body, a cap, a piston and rubber packing element. There are four types of ram BOPs. Pipe Ram 🤍💜 It is designed to hold pressure from the bottom only by closing around the drill string or tubular in order to restrict the flow. Variable Bore Ram (VBR)🤍💜 It is similar to the pipe rams but it is able to utilize with a wider range of outside diameter of pipe. Blind Ram🤍💜 This rams are used to close the well bore when there is no drilling string in the wellbore, because they are not able to cut the pipe. Blind Shear Ram🤍💜 It is similar to the blind ram, but it can cut the pipe prior to shutting the well.

#_BOP blowout preventer لا يخلو امتحان لشركة لها علاقة بالحفر من اسئلة عن مانع الانفجار BOP . أو بمعنى آخر secondary well control there are two types of BOP _ A_ Annular BOPs The annular blowout preventer is usually installed above the BOP stack to close or seal off anything in the well. It applies a closing pressure to shut off the open hole. It also maintains the seal when the tubing, casing, or drill pipes are out of the drill hole. B_ ram BOP : Besides sealing off the wellbore, the rams can also hang off the drill string. Here are the four different types of ram BOPs. 1_ Pipe Rams: Their sealing elements can fit around various tubular, including the production tubing, drill collars, drill pipes, and casing to seal off the wellbore. 2_ Blind Rams:help seal the wellbore when it has nothing in it. 3_ Shearing Blind Rams: They have blades that cut or shear the drill pipe, followed by sealing 4_ Variable Bore Rams: allow the sealing around a vast range of pipe sizes. #_wellservice #_drillingcomponents #_bop #_ramspreventers #_secondarywellcontrol Halliburton Baker Hughes Schlumberger Oil Field Svcs SLB Rashpetco (Shell-JV)

Coiled Tubing Blowout Preventer Hydraulic Quad Ram BOP It is a well control equipment in the process of coiled tubing operation. Its function is to quickly close the ram by hydraulic pressure to control wellhead pressure and prevent blowout. Main functions: ØWhen there is no coiled tubing in the well, the well can be sealed with blind ram. ØWhen coiled tubing is operating in the well, abnormal well pressure and other special circumstances occur, and when the tubing needs to be cut, the tubing can be cut with shear ram, and at the same time, the well is sealed with blind ram, and the manifold connected by the side flange is pumped into the liquid kill well. ØWhen the coiled tubing is operating in a well, the tubing needs to be suspended, and the coiled tubing can be suspended with corresponding slips. ØWhen the coiled tubing is operating in the well, the well can be sealed with pipe ram of the corresponding specification.
