Abstract:Development of the ability to do extended reach pipeline blockage remediation. Results of full scale testing in a pipeline designed to have the degree of difficulty of a 5 mile subsea pipeline are included. Also, a discussion of the extended reach impact of viscous friction drag on coiled tubing is included. Vendors who have succeeded in passing the DeepStar test requirements are indicated along with possible extensions of this technology to longer distances than 5 miles.
