Automated Coiled Tubing Systems
82
The Hitec Automated Coiled Tubing system (HiACT) is based on a
well proven industrial standard components. This system enables
the coiled tubing operator to concentrate on the success of his
operation.
Our flexible, expandable systems can be found on major
installations onshore in North America, and offshore in the North
Sea and Indonesia. The systems are developed in close
collaboration with the operators with an emphasis on simplified
use, maximized safety and a greatly improved working
environment.
MAIN COMPONENTS / FUNCTIONS:
HiACT is made for both well servicing and coiled tubing drilling
applications. From the Cyberbase operators station, the operator
can:
Simultaneously control the CT equipment, fluid, additive and
nitrogen pumps.
Monitor all CT parameters, fluid flow rates and tank levels.
Keep an eye on remote equipment using integrated CCTV
inputs.
At the same time, the control system can:
Automatically slow down or stop the injector at preset depths or
load limits.
Automatically shut down pumps at preset trip pressures.
Automatically increase skate pressure when needed.
Detect and bypass leaks in the skate circuit.
Store and trend critical job data.
Communicate with job planning or third party logging software.
MODULAR DESIGN:
HiACT has a modular configuration. The data acquisition portion of
HiACT is the stand-alone SDI: CT software. To this basic platform,
a Cyberbase control station is added. Then, control modules for the
injector, reel and mud system as they are needed. Further control
modules for cementing, wireline, or frac jobs can be added without
changing the basic configuration.
SYSTEM BENEFITS:
Reduces rig up time by eliminating hydraulic signal and control
lines.
Provides a single control station for CT, mud and N2 operations.
All control functions can be simulated in a teaching facility,
allowing for much more effective operator training.
Optional remote stations allow monitoring during operations.
Spare parts available worldwide.
