Coiled Tubing 

Automated Injector Heads and Spooling Systems for Autonomous Operations

 

 

Stimline manufactures coiled tubing systems for the most demanding offshore operations.

With our IHX130 injector head, automatic reel spooling systems, XOS operator stations, our automation and digitalization software the basic ingredients of coiled tubing operations are in place.

By marrying the injector head and reel system with the other ingredients of Stimline’s eco-system, rig site units can be closely integrated with digital workflows, to receive and automatically execute pre-planned conveyance jobs in and out of the wellbore, be safely operated from remote locations, and form part of a strategy for future autonomous operations, supported by advanced data science applications.

With Stimline your coiled tubing equipment are prepared for the future.

Individual components or the full deal?

 Stimline delivers injector heads, control system upgrades, spooling systems individually or part of a package upgrade. We can also include offshore reel systems in a coiled tubing system. Additional ingredients, such as cabins, power units, well control, pumping and fluid systems can be integrated to form complete offshore coiled tubing spreads.

 

IHX130 Injector Head

Proven in demanding, deep record-setting operations for years

The IHX130 Injector Head was developed for large size, high grade heavy wall tubing conveyed in challenging and deep wells.

The design is based around several patented features, leading to reduced tubing wear and increased operation safety, proven over many million meters in and out of thousands of wells.

Unique to the IHX130 is an automation kit that continuously optimizes traction and chain tension forces, whether running in or out of hole, ensuring optimal forces at all times, rapidly reacting to changing hole conditions.

Unique IHX features for optimal conveyance in all hole conditions

 

  • A patented floating tubing traction system with optimized rotation center improves weight reading and reduces pipe wear through traction zone.
  • High motor capacity gets you in and out of the well quickly
  • Heavy-duty chains, through-pin connect-to-skate block design and heavy-duty chain rollers greased for life gives you more feet between maintenance intervals
  • Patented, reversible one-plate skate design, with optimized shape for reduced loads on tubing and rollers
  • Integrated tubing suspension system in skate blocks reduce pipe wear and improves friction

Injector Automation Kit ensures rapid response to changing hole conditions. Automatically.

  • Active Traction continuously optimizes skate pressure for best traction and least tubing fatigue
  • Active Traction automatically responds to changing hole (weight) conditions
  • Active Traction immediately adjusts traction force if a slip or run-away is detected
  • Active Traction immediately detects and responds to traction system failures
  • Active Chain Tension automatically adjust force to weight and tubing direction
  • Active Reel Tension automatically adjust back-tension to the injector weight, speed and accelerations

 The Injector Automation Kit turns the IHX130 into an intelligent injector, always operating with the optimized parameters, rapidly reacting to changing hole conditions.

On the journey to autonomous operations, the IHX130 is the perfect companion

On the journey to autonomous operations, the IHX130 is the perfect companion

  • Tightly connected with AdvisorX, enabling pre-defined run planning and execution, taking into account best practices, wellbore conditions and reactions to events
  • Can integrated and use downhole sensors to control the surface IHX130 where applicable
  • Can be interfaced with third-party Well Control Systems
  • Can be interfaced with pumping / flow back systems for optimized drilling / milling operations

 The IHX130 is designed as a vital part of our Intelligent Conveyance™ technology, forming an integral part of completely autonomous coiled tubing intervention or completion systems.

Our coiled tubing systems may be operated from multiple locations, providing operational and organizational flexibility

  • From a Coiled Tubing Operator Cabin, seated in an XOS Operator Station.
  • From a desk-based XOS Operator Station located in an “ice-box” or Platform office.
  • Integrated with the rig’s Drilling Control System, operated from the Driller’s Chair.
  • From a wireless rigging panel.
  • Remotely from the XOS Remote System, perhaps located in an onshore operation center.
  • By Intelligent Conveyance, running complete or sections of a job from AdvisorX applications.
IHX130 Guide arch

The IHX130 is normally furnished with a Guide Arch, we deliver radius 96″, 120” and 140″.

  • Foldable in to two sections
  • Remote locking mechanism, no need to climb
  • Dimensioned according to recognized standards
  • Designed for high grade heavy wall large OD tubing
  • Adjustable centerline
  • Steel rollers
  • Optional load cell measuring coil back tension

Made for offshore operations, fully conform to NORSOK requirements

Our coiled tubing equipment meets and exceeds all NORSOK capacity and performance requirements. International versions are available where NORSOK standards are not required.

 

 

Electric Level Wind with Auto Spooling Option

Designed for large tubing sizes, the electric level wind provides optimal spooling

World’s first electric level wind for coiled tubing provide higher sideways motion speed, higher accuracy and higher torque than traditional level winds.

Furthermore, electric level winds enable real, active and continuous positioning of the tubing when spooling on or off the reel. A dedicated control system calculates the optimal placing of tubing based on reel rotation, back tension and other parameters.

In the quest for automation, autonomy and remoteness, relieving the operator of the mundane task of watching and correcting spooling is necessary.

Multiple features make the Electric Level Wind stand out

  • Electric drive and motor combination provide accurate positioning and position feedback without external sensors
  • Force and motion designed for spool for large, heavy wall and high grade tubing
  • Guide Head designed to actively steer the tubing sideways when required to spool correctly
  • High precision design
  • Can be outfitted with passive Counter Head
Electric Level Wind with Auto Spooling Option

Upgrade your existing spooling operation

 The Electric Level Wind with auto spooling control system can be retro-fitted to most existing reel systems, such as Power Stand.
