Kerui Petroleum has unveiled the newly-developed derrick-style coiled tubing truck. With a pre-installed derrick as the equipment’s main feature, there is no need to use a crane to hoist the injection head any more, saving 70 percent of the preparation time compared with the conventional coiled tubing units as well as saving a great amount of crane rental cost every year.

“Normally, a crane is necessary to assist the coiled tubing unit during the operation, which not only increases preparation time and operation cost, but also brings potential safety hazard. In order to solve this problem, Kerui R&D Center for Oil & Gas Stimulation Equipment in Canada underwent a round of technical research and development and came up with this perfect solution: a truck mounted with coiled tubing unit and segmental derrick. It not only saves the cost for buying or renting a crane but also cuts the preparation time from 3-4 hours to 30-60 minutes. In addition, it takes only 2-3 persons to operate. This solution saves costs, time and labors for customers,” said Yao Zhanwei, product manager at Kerui Petroleum.

This equipment adopts modularized design to improve agility. The main truck consists of five modules including chassis, hydraulic power system, oil tube, roller and coil tubing reel. The derrick truck consisting of derrick, injection head, bop system and power unit, comes with an independent hydraulic power system, allowing seamless connection with customers’ existing coiled tubing units to assist conducting operation.

Having considered the complex geographical conditions and atrocious weather on the operation site, the equipment is strictly designed according to the highest standard in the industry to ensure stable performance and effective function. Many structural optimizations have also been made. For example, the derrick-style coiled tubing truck is smaller in size with improved flexibility (turning radius reduced to 16m, height less than 4.2m). The derrick structure is designed in compliance with the API Spec 4F standard, with wind-resistant capacity reaching 100km/h. This guarantees a safe operation even in the Middle East where wind can be very strong sometimes.

Previously, the injection head and the BOP of the derrick-style coiled tubing truck can only be controlled locally. Now they can be remote controlled at a distance of 30 meters, which also raises the safety level of the operation.

“Though the oil price bouncing back from the lowest point, still hasn’t recovered to the normal level. Under such circumstances, regardless of equipment, technology or service all need to be more pragmatic apart from being of good quality. We need to put ourselves in our customers’ shoes and provide innovative products to increase their operation efficiency and reduce the cost. To be customer-oriented is the goal of all the Kerui Petroleum people,” added Zhanwei.
