Open publisher page 24 citations

Abstract

Summary In the 1980's, a "coiled-tubing revolution" began when coiled-tubing services were expanded to include most workover services. In 1991, this revolution expanded to include openhole drilling with a coiled-tubing unit (CTU) in place of a drilling rig. This paper discusses the design process and the limits associated with the use of coiled tubing (CT) to drill new wells and horizontal re-entry wells.
