TubeFlow PIC for Coiled Tubing
Coiled Tubing Software Suite
The
software suite for coiled tubing in TubeFlow PIC is used to design various
coiled tubing operations. Applications that are included in the coiled tubing
software suite are listed below:
-
models forward and reverse circulation with effects of choke pressure
loss
-
includes effects
of coiled tubing on reel for various fluid types
-
supports a wide
variety of commonly used fluids in coiled tubing operations - single and
multiphase fluids
-
includes effects of heat transfer to/from the formation
supports real-time modeling
-
models coiled tubing cleanouts to remove debris, drilled cuttings and proppant
from the wellbore
-
aids in fluid
selection and design of wash fluids
-
supports brines,
gels, nitrified water, and foams
-
evaluates forces and stresses on the coiled tubing during well intervention
-
determines
buckling status of the coiled tubing in the well and identifies lock-up depth
-
estimates maximum set down weight and overpull while run-in-hole (RIH) or
pull-out-of-hole (POOH)
models extended reach by determining minimum tractor pull requirements
-
models coiled tubing drilling operations - underbalanced and managed pressure
drilling
-
determines the
minimum annular flow rate to transport the drilled cuttings to surface
-
supports production from reservoir while drilling and also estimates formation
fluid leakoff
-
models air, foam, mist, and natural gas drilling
-
designs coiled tubing velocity strings to prevent liquid loading in wells
-
determines inflow/outflow well performance using appropriate reservoir and
multiphase flow models
-
aids in selection of appropriate tubing size
-
finds an optimum depth at which coiled tubing must be placed for an effective
well unloading operation
-
determines the minimum pump flow rate of N2 to unload the well
-
estimates the pressures in the well utilizing appropriate multiphase flow
models during the unload process
-
models pumping fluids in a sequence through the coiled tubing and displaces
existing fluids in the wellbore
-
simulates both forward and reverse circulation, direct and indirect
displacements
-
allows configuration of a variety of chemical spacers, completion brines, and
viscous pills
determines pumping requirements, cumulative fluid volumes, and displacement
time
-
simulates thru-tubing remedial gravel pack operations
-
models circulating gravel packs to repair existing screen damage in vertical
and deviated wells
-
estimates proppant and slurry volume requirements
-
calculates coiled tubing fatigue life and predicts diameter growth during a job
-
estimates number of trips to failure accounting for the effects of internal
pressure, reel diameter, and material properties of the coiled tubing
-
performs fatigue life tracking along the length of the coiled tubing depending
upon job data for any particular application
maintains a history of the used life of the coiled tubing to aid in pre-job
planning and ensures a safe operation
-
performs a comprehensive engineering analysis to accurately assess pre-job
design
-
reduces job design time and cost
-
ensures pressure limits during a job are within safety standards
optimizes a pump schedule for a coiled tubing job
