Development of advanced composite spoolable tubing offers several new solutions to many challenging well servicing and well construction operations. Attributes such as excellent corrosion resistance, low material density and weight, coupled with high working pressure and extensive fatigue resistance, make this product attractive for a number of oilfield tubular applications. These applications include well servicing strings and corrosion resistant completion strings. The advantage of an advanced composite spoolable pipe over steel pipe is that it can be 'engineered' for particular applications to take advantage of the composite's enabling attributes while optimizing the cost. Development efforts led by a spoolable composite products company and an oilfield service company have produced a novel composite spoolable tubing design targeted to meet these well servicing and construction challenges. This paper will cover a brief review of the development efforts and operation issues the developers have addressed to qualify the advanced composite spoolable tubing for several enabling oilfield applications and focus on the application of this technology in its first commercial operations.
