CT Ops Exercise - No Answers

This document provides information about four wells (Wells A, B, C, D) including depth, fluid properties, and bottomhole pressures. It then asks questions to match well fluids to common completion brines and calculate maximum anticipated surface pressures for gas wells. Additional questions calculate tubing capacity and displacement for Well D, and maximum circulating rates for a coiled tubing operation at various depths using provided formulas.

Coiled Tubing Operations Exercise

Use the well information and formula below to answer questions 13 - 18:

Coiled Tubing = 2" 0.156 wall thickness

Length = 13,500 ft.

Maximum Pump Pressure = 7,500 psi

Tubing = 3-1/2" 9.3 lb/ft. 12,050 ft

Production Casing = 7.0" 29 lb/ft1

Plug Back TD = 13,500 ft

Annular capacities:
2" x 3-1/2" = 0.004813 bbl/ft
2" x 7" = 0.0333 bbl/ft

Circulating fresh water: Fresh water gradient = 0.433 psi/ft


Coiled Tubing Operations Exercise

Maximum Circulating Rate =


√ Max. Pressure ÷ C. T. Length, / 1000 ft.
40
NOTE: "40" is a constant. It is the circulating pressure per 1000 ft when
circulating fresh water in 2« , 0.156 wall thickness coiled
tubing.

Maximum Circulating Rate : bbl/min

Maximum Pressure : psi

13. Maximum Circulating rate at 4,250 ft ___3,72____ bbl/min

14. Annular Velocity at 4,250 ft. ___773____ ft/min

15. Maximum Circulating rate at 13,500 ft ____3,72___ bbl/min

16.Annular Velocity at 13,500 ft ____111,71___ ft/min

17. What is the BHP if the rat hole is reverse circulated at the
maximum circulating rate (Neglect annular friction) ?

___5845,5____ psi
Coiled Tubing Operations Exercise

18. If 13.0 ppg brine is used, what is the maximum circulating rate?

(For pressure drop per 1000 ft, when circulating 13.0 ppg brine
in 2.0 inch , 0.156 inch wall thickness coiled tubing,
use a constant of 64).

Maximum Circulating Rate =


√ Max. Pressure ÷ C. T. Length, / 1000 ft.
64

Max circulating rate = 8,68 bbls / mn
