| has gloss | eng: Coiled tubing umbilicals encapsulate multiple coiled tubing and electrical strings into a single string which can be deployed by one conventional unit. These technologies allow for the deployment of complex pumps on coiled tubing. This can often greatly reduce the cost of a pump by eliminating the need for multiple coiled tubing units to be on site during deployment. While typically these umbilicals have been achieved by placing one string inside another large one, new technologies are making it possible to encapsulate multiple strings in a casing, maintaining a manageable shape for the tubing and eliminating the danger of ovalization which is common in the former method. |
