 Coiled Tubing Equipment
The basic configuration of a coiled tubing equipment package
is dependent on:

– Operating environment

Schlumberger Public
• e.g., offshore, arctic, desert
– Primary applications
• e.g., units prepared for CTD operations will typically
be larger than conventional service units
– CT string dimensions
• e.g., string length/OD and necessary reel dimensions
