Coiled Tubing Gains Pace
proceedings became the hallmark of this year event: every speech aroused great
interest, with questions and answers giving a clue to most intriguing technologies
and techniques.
Significant interest was shown to the report entitled The Experience of
Applying Coiled Tubing Technologies in Tatarstan by Rubin Akhmetshin (TatneftRemService), outlining the principles of conveyor-type workover, which effectively
combines coiled tubing and traditional technologies. No less interesting was
a report by Damir Mukhametshin (Bashneft) summarizing the experience of
applying coiled tubing technologies in Bashkortostan and highlighting the results
of unique intertubular operations performed using the MK-10T unit equipped with
1-in. coiled tubing.
Detlef Boss (Weatherford) draw attention of the audience to the use of a hydraulic
tubing cutter in Kazakhstan fields in conditions when conventional e-line devices
were inoperable. Nikolai Demyanenko (Belorusneft) presented two papers, covering
development of coiled tubing technologies, and also experience and effectiveness
of hydraulic and acid fracturing in terrigenous and carbonate formations in
Belarus. Belorusneft service divisions have fulfilled successful fracturing jobs after
purchasing NOV Fidmash complete set of equipment.
Lyubov Magadova (Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas) shared her
news on penetration tests of polysaccharidic well-killing fluid under conditions
simulating hydraulic fracture crack. Alexander Sorokin (Schlumberger) told the
audience about the first experience of implementation of acid system MaXCO3
compound aimed at oil recovery enhancement of carbonate reservoirs.
Cutting-edge well intervention technologies in intensively developing producing
regions were also brought into sharp focus during the conference. Alexander
Uskov (Verkhnechonskneftegaz) told the participants about solving the problems
of Verkhnechonskoe oil and gas-condensate field, and Stanislav Zagranichny
(Trican Well Service) shared experience of well intervention with coiled tubing on
Vankorskoye field.
Quite a revelation was the report of Sergei Beryuschev (Welltec Oilfield Services)
titled An Introduction to Well Tractor Technology, as downhole tractors are still an
oddity in Russia. The reports by James Chernik (Foremost), Dmitry Zinin (Burenie
Research and Production Association), Yury Shtakhov (RosTEKtekhnologii), Denis
Vladykin (Tegas), were also devoted to equipment.
Sergei Yurutkin of NOV Fidmash, the manufacturer that has produced 75 percent
of all CTU operating in the CIS, informed the audience on the full complex of
the equipment for modern hi-tech operations in oil recovery enhancement and
well cementing. Ivan Pirch (Novinka of the FID Group) delivered a report titled
Technical Means for Directional Drilling in Coal Bed, which covered the latest
patented solution the SNB89-76M directional drilling system that has already
been field-tested.
The paper of Konstantin Burdin (Schlumberger) Realtime Acquisition of
Bottomhole Parameters Data with Coiled Tubing became a sort of premiere

as it was introduced a week earlier in Russia than in Florence at the SPE Annual
Technical Conference and Exhibition, where the international presentation of this
new technology was held.
Discussions, disputes, debates, round table on development prospects of
oilfield services, boat trip on the Moskva River What else shall these three days
be remembered for? Without any doubt, the most memorable thing will be faceto-face professional communication that turns colleagues into friends, and unites
conference attendees into the club of the like-minded, open to anyone devoted to
promotion of new oilfield services technologies.

pressure drop obtained during gel injection with the value of pressure drop during
brine filtration.
Maximal value of pressure drop during brine filtration turned out to be 12.18 psi.
Consequently, during the process of well development in order to perform gel
cleanout one need to apply far less pressure than that required for its injection.
Brine filtration at a given injection rate continued till the value of pressure drop
(measured with differential pressure meter) reached the zero level. After that the
process of filtration was stopped.
Removal of proppant out of the formation model showed partial presence of gel
at a depth up to 1/5 of the model length. It is obvious that in ordeer to remove this
gel we need additional brine filtration.
Nevertheless we took samples of this proppant and proppant from the other
part of the model (with liquid phase) for further investigations at KCES-100 unit
(determination of proppant conductivity and level of PSWKF gel contamination of
proppant).
It is necessary to mention that proppant Saint-Gobain UltraProp of fraction
18/40 was chosen (because of its high strength) in order to eliminate the influence
of proppant mechanical breakdown on its conductivity. Moreover, tests were
performed in a conductivity cell at a minimal compression pressure of 1000 psi.
Experiments were conducted at a room temperature (75 F). The value of gel
viscosity at this temperature is more than at formation temperature.
The results of investigations are shown in Table 1.
As one can see in the table conductivity restoring coefficient of two proppant
samples with reference to conductivity of a clean proppant slug after PSWKF
injection is equal to 54.31% for proppant from the most polluted part of the model
and 89.09 for proppant from the other part of the formation model.
The obtained results allow recommending the application of PSWKF for after
fracturing well killing.

Besides, these results are in agreement with the previous results of PSWKF
investigations obtained at OAO NPC Tvergeophizika using nuclear magnetic
resonance method and penetration tests of core samples (Investigations of the
impact of well killing fluids and acid solutions on clogged terrigenous reservoirs /
T.V. Hismetov et al.) // Neftyanoe hozyaistvo. - 2007. Vol. 3. - P. 92-95).
carbonate reservoirs treatment, which has been applied in Russia for the first time.
The advantage of this technology consists in complex (chemical and physical)
temporary blocking of the most permeable (drained) zones. Increasing of the
efficiency of chemical blocking, which is performed by VDA system, is realized due
to utilization of dissolvable fibers of prolonged action. Owing to these fibers active
acid is transported directly to weakly drained part of formation, which is saturated
with hydrocarbons.
Currently we have performed a pilot selective acid treatment of AGCF well with
MaxCO3 system utilization. As a result of utilization of multi-stage treatment
program with 15% solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a basic fluid we got a
200% increase in productivity.
wellbore cleanout operations after the completion and workover, well kickoff and
production logging.
The string lengths vary from an average of 4059 m for the short strings to an
average of 5757 m for the long strings. The wireline installed in the stiff wireline
strings is a seven conductor, double armour style. There are currently 2 stiff
wireline strings, 44.45 mm, which for logistical reasons are long strings.
The single most persistent issue encountered so far in the Vankorskoe field is
the inability to get the coiled tubing to TD. There are multiple possible reasons for
this, ranging from wellbore deviation, dog leg severity, wax build-up, well bore
completions, residual drilling or workover debris, equipment malfunction and
operator error.
As the Vankorskoe field continues to grow, with more wells coming on line,
the role of the coiled tubing units are also changing. In order to meet the current
challenges and to address the changes in operations, new technologies are being
investigated to work in the Vankorskoe field. Some ideas are old technology,
proven in the past in other oil fields, but so far, have not been used in Vankorskoe,
others are custom solutions to be used on the unique challenges provided by these
wells.
State University of Oil and Gas the investigation of corrosion of steel, which is used
for CT manufacturing, has been performed. Chemical compounds on the basis of
SKA modifier for CT surface passivation have been developed in order to decrease the
degree of CT corrosion after acid treatments.

setting (perhaps, due to the state of walls in the openhole or filtration of liquid
through formation); packer releasing occurred during the process of chemicals
injection.
In order to increase the efficiency of operations there were suggested to use
hydraulic fracturing fluid (polysaccharidic gel with decomposition after 48
hours) as a packer. The volume of injection should be equal to the volume of the
oil-bearing section of the openhole. Estimated volume of polysaccharidic gel was
prepared directly at the wellsite with the help of standard equipment and there
was no need in special training of servicers. Conveyance of gel to the preselected
interval was conducted with coiled tubing unit utilization. Isolating operations
were performed in 17 horizontal wells; in the eight of them we used gel as a packer.
The analysis of performed operations shows that the quality of water shutoff
operations does not decrease when using the liquid packer.
In 2010 we tested the technology of crossover circulation of wells through
1-1/2'' coiled tubing. Thickened solutions (0.08-0.1 lb/(ft*s) viscosity) were used
as process liquids. Given technology in conjunction with solvents application
allowed to better prepare wells for geophysical survey.
OOO Tatneft-AktyubinskRemService is always looking for innovative methods
of well workover that increase the number of used coiled tubing technologies
and the efficiency of workover operations. We do not try to compete with
conventional well workover. We significantly expand the possibilities of well
workover operations.
in the hole at a depth of 4688 meters (15,381 ft.). Over time settlings and swarf
from the tubing covered the fish to where it acted as a check valve, hindering any
pumping into the well, but allowing bottom hole pressure to pass, and so it was
decided to work the well over.
This necessitated cutting the tubing above the packer and, to use an electric
line conveyed Radial Cutting Torch (RCT), it was first necessary to punch holes
in the tubing, close to the intended cut area, because the fish acting like a check
valve would eliminate the shockwave compensation created by the RCT. However
attempts to punch holes as required failed for reasons as yet unverified and so the
only available alternative was to run a coiled tubing conveyed hydraulic cutter
powered by a downhole motor, since it only required circulation to surface and no
punched holes. This was run successfully and the tubing was cut in a period of 35
minutes allowing the planned workover to continue.
In this paper the author will review the background history of the well and
the series of events that led to the need to work it over. He will go on to describe
in detail the problems that were faced in attempting to cut the tubing and the
hydraulic cutting mechanism and operation that overcame them.

plasticity theory can be used since there is a combination of plastic and elastic
strains. It was established that the calculation of equivalent state of specimen, which
simulate the tubing material, should be made on the basis of strains calculation.
Taking Menson investigation as a basis it is possible to determine the influence of
desired dependency. However, as opposed to the accepted statements one should
use the value of secant modulus of elasticity, which characterizes the strain process
beyond the yield limit.
Magnitudes of equivalent strains, which a specimen being under conditions
of monoaxial tension should withstand, after N loading cycles followed by the
specimen failure will satisfy the equation
a equiv = 77,6 N-0,79 + -1 (1-m/vr) N01/m N-1/m /sec(a equiv) ,
where N the number of cycles till specimen failure; N0 base number of
cycles, which corresponds to the value of fatigue limit -1; sec() secant modulus
of elasticity that depends on the strains a equiv ,which appear when the tubing
envelopes a reel and a guiding arc; m (p) stresses caused by the internal pressure,
m exponent of power that characterizes material fatigue properties.
Obtained dependency allows determination of equivalent strains that should
be created during material specimens testing at a given stress state of a specimen.
Comparison of the results of specimens testing at monoaxial stress state with testing
parameters determined by the above-mentioned formula and the results of tubing
full-scale tests showed that discrepancy did not exceed 7-9%. Thus it is possible to
perform fatigue tests of specimens, simulating not only the values of plastic strains
caused by the tubing bending but also the ones caused by the internal pressure
influence.
