TRANSCRIPT
Pipe vibration can bequickly applied withvery little preparation
Typical job duration isless than one day
Pipe vibration offers alow risk high rewardfirst means for yourpipe recovery needs
Results are often immediatesubstantially reducingtime and effort requiredto solve stuck problems
Workover Completion OperationsFree and Recover Rods Tubing Screens Screen Packers Liners Retrievable PackersBridge Plugs and Anchors
Coil Tubing OperationsRecover Stuck Coil and Downhole Members Without Cutting or Damaging the Coil Tubing String
Workover ApplicationsAny situation where the axial recip-
rocation of pipe or the use of largetensile compressive or percussiveforces or where the reduction of pipeto wellbore friction is beneficial mayrespond favorably to the use of pipevibration The process is appliedfrom surface generally without anydown hole intervention and oftenprovides immediate results
Figure 1 illustrates these compo-nents in a well setting The eccentricweight mechanical oscillator gener-ates an axial sinusoidal force that actson the work string to create axial vi-bration and the vibrating work stringtransmits and delivers power devel-oped at the oscillator to a regionwhere the stuck member is locatedThe vibrational energy received at thestuck area works to effect the releaseof the stuck member through the ap-plication of large percussive forcesfluidization of granular material di-lation and contraction of the pipebody and a reduction of well borefriction or hole drag
Figure 1 Pipe Vibration System
Oil Field Vibration SystemA resonant vibration system for use
in oil field tubular extraction appli-cations consists of three basic com-ponents a mechanical oscillator withsuspension system for isolating therig structure a work string for trans-mitting vibrational energy and astuck member or ldquofishrdquo to be recov-ered

STUCK PIPE RECOVERY USINGVIBRATION TECHNOLOGY OSCILLATORS
Figure 2 illustrates a Vibration Tech-nology Oscillator in operation on awell location in Louisiana Pipe vi-bration is generated and applied at sur-face and transmitted by the free por-tion of the pipe string to the stuck pointthat may be thousands of feet belowThe results are quick release from sandor junk stuck situations Rig-up timeis usually less than an hour and resultsare often achieved in minutes On thisrecent job a string of 2-78 EUE tub-ing tubing anchor and sand stucksucker rods inside were recovered si-multaneously thus avoiding an outsidebackoff attempt with the real potentialof leaving the rod string standing in-side the well casing In other typical jobs wirewrapscreens and packers are recoveredfrom gravel pack completionstotally avoiding jarring and washoveroperations
Figure 3 illustrates a Vibration Tech-nology Oscillator in operation recov-ering a 10000 foot scale stuck rodstring On this recent job a combina-tion string of 78 and 34 sucker rodswas recovered thus avoiding a tediousand often time consuming strippingjob with associated risks as well as thepotential for considerable rod damage Vibration Technology providesequipment and services that are highlyeffective in recovering stuck pipe in arange of applications including mudscale salt sand or junk stuckdownhole equipment such as

Advantages of Vibration in Coil Tubing Applications
bull Quickly and Easily Appliedbull No Downhole Interventionbull Reduced Riskbull Simplified Decision Makingbull Demonstrated Results
bull The coil is not cut so that full well control is maintained and associated costsare eliminated
bull The coil is not worked over the gooseneck so coil fatigue damage is mini-mized
bull Wireline services along with the attendant risks are not neededbull The operation is conducted from surface utilizing equipment suspended
above the wellborebull The coil unit remains in place to assist the vibration operation as well as to
immediately recover the coil when it becomes freebull Pipe vibration can be quickly applied with very little preparationbull Typical job duration is less than one daybull Pipe vibration is low risk with respect to further deteriorating the
situationbull Results are often immediate and thus considerable expense and risk can be
eliminated in resolving a stuck tubing situation
Coil Recovery Operations
Well Preparation
Kill the well and stabilize the coilinjector head with support legs
Rig Up and Attachment to Coil
A crane or workover rig is requiredto support and handle the oscillatorand coil string Oscillator to coil at-tachment is accomplished by use offriction clamps
Crane Requirements
Crane should have at least 80 tonslift capacity boom working height ofat least 80 feet and be equipped witha weight indicator
Safety Requirements
A personnel basket or lift is requiredin order to allow work at the top ofor above the coil injector head
The Bottom Line
Vibration Technology offers aunique and demonstrated superior ap-proach to resolving a stuck coil situ-ation It is easy to apply can be donevery quickly and oftenproduces instant results The CoilString does not have to be cutin order to apply the vibrationprocess
Pipe vibration is a proven approachfor resolving stuck coil situations Itoffers many advantages to cutting thecoil and proceeding conventionallyBeen there Done that
