Increase the range of services you can offer to your clients by offering them Directional Coiled Tubing Drilling (DCTD). We will provide all the drilling expertise that you need to be able to plan and execute a drilling job using your existing CT assets. Working in partnership with you, we can offer a winning solution to all stakeholders.
The benefits of DCTD depend on the particular circumstances and drilling parameters of each well, which should be considered as individual cases when analysing the viability of an intervention. Broadly, these benefits condense down to three primary advantages for your operation:
Long term CTD projects often use dedicated rigs or combine the ability to handle coil and jointed pipe in a hybrid format. But regular CT rigs with a mast, tower or simply a crane deployment can be used effectively.
Like all operators face the challenge of declining production on all their wells. Drilling horizontal laterals from existing vertical wellbores, of which there are many, helps them to extract more oil and gas from existing reservoirs. More production than they may think is possible, if they have only considered regular overbalanced drilling.
Partner with us to offer new service to your clients. We will support your sales force to create a winning offering for all concerned.
Our Directional CTD BHA’s run on regular 7-conductor wireline inside coil of between 2-3/8in and 2-7/8”. Coil can be ordered from the mill with the wireline pre-installed.
We can provide the necessary conversion kit to terminatethe cable at each end and hook the wireline to our Albacore surface data acquisition system.
People sometimes say to us ‘Why drill with coil when I can get a cheap jointed pipe rig to do the same job’. In answering, it’s important to be clear what the ‘same job’ means. If the objective is simply to drill a hole, then a regular rig might be better. But if the objective is to drill a hole, do it efficiently and do it without damaging the reservoir then underbalanced drilling with coil has no equal.
