What is coil tubing units?

Coil tubing units are specialized oilfield equipment used for various well intervention operations, such as cleaning and testing wells, performing stimulated treatments, and drilling extended-reach horizontal wells. The coil tubing itself is a continuous length of steel tubing that can be spooled onto a reel for easy transport and deployment.

Coil tubing units typically consist of a trailer-mounted power unit, a coiled tubing reel, an injector head, and control systems. The power unit generates the necessary hydraulic power to drive the reel, injector, and other tools. The coiled tubing reel stores the tubing and feeds it into the wellbore. The injector head provides the force to push and pull the tubing into and out of the well.

Coil tubing units are highly portable and can be quickly transported to well sites for rapid deployment. They are also highly versatile, allowing for a wide range of well intervention operations without the need for traditional drilling rigs or workover units.

Overall, coil tubing units are an essential tool for the oil and gas industry, providing a cost-effective and efficient means of maintaining wellbore productivity and ensuring maximum well performance.
