COILED TUBING PROCUREMENT GUIDE
Why Reel Limits Belong in the Initial Coiled Tubing RFQ
A coiled tubing string and its reel form one transportable supply unit. Tubing dimensions, continuous length, bending limits, total weight and route restrictions therefore belong in the first enquiry.
Define the tubing string
Outside diameter, wall profile, grade and continuous length establish the product basis and strongly influence final string weight and reel selection.
- Outside diameter and wall profile
- Material grade and string design
- Continuous length and weld strategy
- Operating pressure and service environment
Check reel geometry
Core diameter, flange diameter and traverse width affect bending strain, capacity and compatibility with handling equipment.
- Minimum core diameter
- Maximum flange diameter
- Traverse width and hub details
- Level-wind and lifting interfaces
Calculate the transport envelope
Gross weight and overall dimensions must be evaluated against road, port, vessel and destination handling limits before the reel is finalized.
- Tubing and reel gross weight
- Road and port dimensional limits
- Container, flat rack or breakbulk route
- Lifting points and center of gravity
Plan protection and identification
Reel restraint, tubing-end protection, corrosion prevention and permanent identification support safe delivery and later string traceability.
- Tubing-end termination and protection
- Reel restraint and weather protection
- String and reel identification
- Packing and shipping records
