  • Publication number: 20170009529
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method to enhance the reach of coiled tubing in the lateral section of a wellbore. The application of this method may enhance the use of coiled tubing in drilling very deep flowing wells. Similarly, the method may be applied in increasing the reach of the tubing for other coiled tubing well intervention applications. The method involves the use of downhole motor assemblies, stabilizers, and dynamic torque arrestors to rotate coiled-tubing string.
