Real-Time Coiled Tubing Operations, Taking the Guesswork Out of Stimulation Design

An operator in California who was experiencing suboptimal production results from its oil and gas wells sought a solution to stimulate the tired formations with acid treatments to enhance permeability. After years of production, the parameters that existed early in the field’s history were no longer valid. A family of real-time diagnostic services that could be run simultaneously with coiled tubing operations was needed to give engineers a way to "see" what was going on downhole. The operator selected the ACTive family of live downhole coiled tubing operations to address the problems. The ACTive solution included a broadband fiber optic telemetry that allows simultaneous transmission of real-time data from a variety of sensors placed in the tools comprising the bottomhole assembly.
