The development of composite and titanium pipe has the potential to eliminate many of the issues facing coiled-tubing (CT) work on platforms with restricted lift capability in the North Sea, such as the time to mobilize and set up the CT reel, additional personnel requirements, and weather dependence. A number of methods are available to overcome reel-weight limitations when conventional steel Ct is used. These include Ct welding, split reels, boat spooling, and tube/tube connectors. These factors are discussed then the paper discusses results from 3 field tests on gas and oil wells.
