WHAT ARE COILED TUBING HANDLING & DEPLOYMENT TOOLS?
2nd June 2021
The CT Handling and Deployment Tools Category largely consists of the surface handling tools required in order to pull the CT String from the CT Drum and stab it into the Injector Head, along with the products required to deploy a BHA into the wellbore when there’s limited riser height available.
In scenarios where a robust connection is required, a Surface Handling Tool, which incorporates an Internal Grapple Connector can be utilised for a range of CT wall thickness. Connecting a Stabbing Snake for manual stabbing or a Winch Wire and Knuckle Joints will complete the stabbing operation.
LiMAR’s CT Deployment Equipment
When height is restricted, Deployment Bars, Dual Isolation Valves and Torque-Thru Deployment Connectors, used in conjunction with the standard CT BOP enable numerous sections of a BHA to be deployed, hung off and connected together in order to permit a BHA length far in excess of the available riser height.
CT Clamp Designs for a Multitude of Tasks
LiMAR offer a range of Coiled Tubing Clamps to cover all wall thicknesses, the standard clamps have been produced with sufficient working load to retrieve an entire CT string from the well-bore. The Hinged CT Clamp offers are far smaller and lighter solution for surface handling and spooling applications, with the added advantage of featuring interchangeable slips to cover a range of CT sizes with one clamp.
Surface Filters and 1502 Installation Subs are offered in a range of mesh sizes to suit customer’s applications. The Filters are also offered with the option of a Rupture Disc which will burst and protect the Filter Element from collapse should an extreme volume of solids pass through the surface mixing and pumping equipment.
Both the Dual Isolation Valve and the Torque-Thru Deployment Connector feature a fully retained bleed screw to allow a safe and controlled bleed down within the BHA.
LiMAR tools offer bespoke solutions, designed and built in-house.
