    Uploaded by

    Hua Tien Dung
    This document discusses various equipment used in coiled tubing operations, including injectors, goosenecks, power packs, and control cabs. It focuses on injectors, describing their functions, components like grippers and traction systems, and factors that can affect weight indicators and readings. Proper setup and alignment of the injector and gooseneck are emphasized for ensuring accurate weight measurements. The control cab houses the JobMaster system for monitoring running rates, pressures, pump rates and other operational parameters.

    Required to Span Complete Injector Push
    and Pull Capabilities
    Two Main Types
    Hydraulic - can only measure compression
    Electric - can measure compression & tension
    Hydraulic Weight Indicators

    Hydraulic
    Hydraulic pressure is created in a closed
    system from injector weight acting on a
    bladder
    Typical bladder sizes 16 in2 or 25 in2
    Typical line pressures to 1,000 psi
    Affected by:
    Air in system
    Ambient temperatures - heat and cold
    Routing close to hot injector hydraulic hoses
    Electric Load Cells

    Strain Gauge Type


    Applied load is measured by strain gauges
    Output signal 4-20 mA or 0-5 V
    Signal changed to gauge in cab by additional
    electronics
    Affected by
    Accuracy can be affected by vibrations
    Initial calibration should be across full system

    to calibrate

    Terminology

    Push

    When the weight reading is a high positive number that means that the
    weight of the pipe is hanging on the injector forcing it down onto the
    load cell.
    In this situation the pipe is in tension, and the load cell is in
    compression.
    When the weight reading is a negative number, such as when force is
    being applied while drilling, the injector is pushing itself away from the
    load cell.
    In this situation pipe is in compression, and the load cell is in tension.

    Pipe Heavy & Pipe Light Terminology

    On some injectors there are two load cells. One is called Pipe heavy
    (PH) and the other is called Pipe light (PL)
    These load cells are located opposite each other on the base of the
    injector
    The values produced by both of these are used to determine the
    amount of tension or compression being exerted at any time on the
    pipe

    What Can Affect
    the Weight Indicator ?

    Incorrect readings can arise from

    Poor gooseneck alignment pushing coil onto

    one set of chains

    Wrong Injector and gooseneck Alignment

    Weight gauge and injector not matching

    Incorrect setup of Data Acquisition System


    Setting of Weight Indicators

    Weight indicators should be tested on


    surface and compared to the hydraulic
    pressure
    The indicator should be set to the bottom
    hole assembly weight with no fluids or
    pressure in the lubricator
    Both the analogue gauge and JobMaster
    should be set at this time
    This will allow a correct comparison to
    Circa information
