Product Details
Access Downhole’s Coiled Tubing Weld-on Connector represents a more permanent affixing between the coiled tubing to a BHA. As such, it also represents a more fluid rigidity transition from the coiled tubing than a standard slip connector.
A gradually tapered insertion neck that extends several inches into the coiled tubing provides a bend support to prevent concentrating bending loads at a single point where the coiled tubing meets the connector.
The Access Downhole Coiled Tubing Weld-on Connector is a single piece component with many configurations available to the end user. A few are listed below, and any other imaginable scenario can be accommodated upon request. This is used to eliminate all the bending of the CT in the heat-affected zone.
Another feature of the Access Downhole CT Weld-on Connector is that it is constructed to exhibit 100% of the torque and yield ratings of the coiled tubing material.
Major Benefits
- Mechanically designed to handle both the extra torque and strain associated with current wellbore geometry and the BHA's utilized to best complete them.
