Program Professional Framework
Coiled Tubing Well Intervention (Basic)
Program Overview
Coiled tubing allows live-well interventions without a rig, making it a core tool for cleanouts, stimulation, nitrogen lifting and logging in producing fields. This introductory course explains the equipment, including the reel, injector head, stripper, BOP stack and power pack; tubing properties, fatigue and string management; pressure control and well barriers; and the most common applications such as fill cleanouts, nitrogen kick-off, acid placement and tool conveyance. Participants learn the basic calculations and safe operating practices expected of wellsite crews in Gulf onshore and offshore operations.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants prepare a basic job programme for a fill cleanout or nitrogen kick-off on a provided well, including the equipment list, a barrier diagram, pump schedule, key calculations and a job safety analysis.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
