Coil tubing was utilized to perform a modified strip over operation and recover 9500 ft. of stuck slickline (0.108 in.) wire. The technique, thought to be an industry first, eliminated the risky option of recovering the wire piecemeal via conventional wireline fishing operations. This paper documents the background that lead to the development of the technique. An operational summary details its implementation and illustrations are included of the special tools and techniques employed.
