COILED TUBING UNIT
Coiled tubing (CT) is a generic name often used for coiled tubing services (CTS). Operationally, a CT intervention involves pushing a coiled tubing string into an oil or gas well to perform work without disturbing the existing well completion. The ability to pump through the CT string allows many different types of operations be carried out. At the end of a CT operation, the CT string is pulled out of the well and spooled back onto the CT reel CTUs are often described as the following:
- Power Pack
- Control Cabin
- Reel
- Injector Head
- Pressure Control Equipment
POWER PACK FUNCTION
The CTU power pack, also called the prime mover, is usually a diesel engine (see Fig.1). The power pack provides hydraulic power through a system of pumps, valves, and lines, to operate the CTU functions and controls. The system comprises multiple hydraulic circuits.
CONTROL CABIN FUNCTION
The CT operator controls the power pack hydraulic systems from the control console. The console includes all the controls and gauges required by the CT operator to control and monitor operation of all CTU components
REEL FUNCTION
The primary function of the reel assembly is to store and protect the CT string. The reel system uses the reel drum and crash frame to perform this function. The reel also performs several other functions
including the following:
- Maintains proper tension between the reel and the injector head
- Efficiently spools the CT string onto the reel Drum
- Circulates fluids through the CT string with the reel drum rotating
- Allows the introduction of balls or darts into the CT string.
Provides a mounting for the tubing Lubrication, monitoring, and measuring equipment
The reel equipment is grouped into the following systems or assemblies:
- Reel drum
- Reel Drive and Brake System
- Level Wind Assembly
- Depth Counter
- Lubrication System
- Reel Swivel and Manifold
Technical Specifications
Dimensions: Height 141 in.
Length 171.5 in.
Width 102 in.
Weights: Weight (empty) 16,190 lbs.
INJECTOR HEAD ASSEMBLY
The injector head (see Fig.3) pulls, pushes, holds, and guides the CT string. The equipment that performs these operations is grouped into the following systems:
- Drive and brake system
- Chain assembly
- Traction and tension system
- Guide arch system.
From the control console, the CT operator can remotely operate the components mounted on the injector head using specific hydraulic circuits. The hydraulic circuits allow the operator to exercise a high degree of control over any movement of the CT string.

Description | Pull/Push | Pressure required |
Rated Pull | 80,000 lbf. Pull | 3700 psig |
Pull at min. Displacement | 40,000 lbf. Pull | 5000 psig |
Snub load at full displacement | 40,000 lbf. Push | 1900 psig |
PRESSURE CONTROL EQUIPMENT
Generally, these barriers are classified according to the following three categories (see also Fig. 4):
- Primary barrier: The primary barrier is the one in use during normal operations. In CT
- operations, the stripper (including dual or tandem strippers) is the primary barrier.
- Secondary barrier: The secondary barrier is brought into operation if the primary barrier is
- compromised. It is not applied during normal operations. In CT operations, the secondary barrier is the blowout preventer (BOP).
- Tertiary Barrier: The tertiary barrier is operated on a contingency or emergency basis, being brought into operation as a last resort. The use of a tertiary barrier usually depends on several factors, including well bore conditions. Typically in CT operations, this barrier is a shear/seal BOP fitted directly on the wellhead.

NITROGEN PUMP
SHAH PETROLEUM’s 180K Nitrogen Unit is capable to supply Gaseous nitrogen at flow rates up to 180,000 SCFH (3000 SCFM) and pressures up to 10,000 psig. The minimum outlet gas temperature at full rate will not be lower than 70 Degrees Fahrenheit. The energy required to vaporize the liquid nitrogen comes from two Sources: engine heat recovery and hydraulic system heat recovery. More specifically, approximately, 250 hp (636,108 Btu/hr) is captured from the engine exhaust, 300 hp (763,330 Btu/hr) is captured from the engine coolant, and 400 hp (1,017,773 Btu/hr) can be captured from the unit’s hydraulic system. The heat recovered from the hydraulics is transferred to the engine coolant circuit through a brazed-plate style heat exchanger. The total energy captured from the coolant and hydraulics is then used to vaporize liquid Nitrogen in the nitrogen pot vaporizer. The heat captured from the exhaust is used directly to vaporize liquid nitrogen in the exhaust-nitrogen heat exchanger.
The Nitrogen pump is used for:
- Nitrogen can be used in cementing to generate foamed cement.
- Nitrogen can be used in stimulation services as an artificial energizer.
- Nitrogen can also be used with coiled tubing lift fluids and in cleaning out the well
The Nitrogen Pumping Unit is mounted to a heavy duty oil-field type skid and surrounded by a protective frame. Both the skid and protective frame are constructed of mild steel with both square and rectangular hollow sections of grade ASTM 500-99-Gr. B. The nitrogen unit can be moved via the forklift tubes that are incorporated into the base skid or the four lift eyes on the protective frame.
