Coiled Tubing Drilling for offshore wells

Coiled Tubing Drilling (CTD) is becoming more popular in the oil and gas industry as an alternative drilling technique to rejuvenate depleting fields. Its cheaper drilling cost makes CTD viable to be applied for idle wells and brownfields. The indepth investigation is carried out to identify the pro...
