Coiled Tubing - The Workhorse of Exploration And Drilling Activities
Coiled Tubing - The Workhorse of Exploration And Drilling Activities Although petroleum products make life easier, finding, producing, and moving crude oil may have negative effects on the environment. Exploring and drilling for oil may disturb land and marine ecosystems. Seismic techniques used to explore for oil under the ocean floor may harm fish and marine mammals. Drilling an oil well on land often requires clearing an area of vegetation. How and why coiled tubing has become a workhorse of exploration and drilling activities? However, technologies that significantly increase the efficiency of exploration and drilling activities also reduce effects on the environment. For the oil and gas industry, the challenge is to ensure that hydrocarbons are produced, transported, and used cleanly and efficiently. The upstream sector is in need of new technologies reducing production costs and environmental impact. Following recent field experiments, Coiled Tubing Drilling (CTD) emerges as on...
