State-of-the-Art Coiled Tubing Operations at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

Prudhoe Bay, located on the North Slope in Alaska,<br>performs 300 to 400 coiled tubing (CT) interventions per year,<br>employing the latest CT technology. This paper discusses a<br>field trial of CT with an installed fiber-optic line. To date,<br>over 150 CT with fiber optics (FOCT) operations have been<br>successfully performed in BP-owned leases at Prudhoe Bay<br>and Kuparuk in Alaska. Cementing, perforating, fishing,<br>milling, and other wellwork operations were successfully<br>conducted during the two year field trial.
