NOV CTES. (Cerberus v12.0 Software User GuideAbout Cerberus When running tools into and out of a well on coiled tubing, wireline, slickline, or jointed pipe, operations use Cerberus modeling software to accurately predict and analyze cumulative forces and coiled tubing fatigue at each stage of a job. Cerberus is able to determine whether the target depth can be reached, the desired tasks performed, and the equipment safely returned to surface. A key feature of the application is its ability to model conditions in deviated and horizontal wellbores. Cerberus is the only commercial program able to model all three conveyance methods in one package, making it invaluable for choosing the best wellentry technique in marginal conditions.

Reel-Trak can be used predictively pre-job, real time during actual operations at the well- head, as part of a post-job analysis of specific tubing string, or to investigate potential string designs that optimize return on investment by maximizing pipe usage based on current opera- tions. The Reel-Trak interface is organized to support a structured approach to fatigue tracking. This approach utilizes four Reel-Trak “modes,” which describe the various states in which a job can exist during the process. These include Creating a New Job, Job Setup, Fatigue Tracking, and Post Job Analysis.
