Job description
Jetting job is done once we have scale and paraffin or other solid
obstructions on the tubing Wall, using a special tool string that
can do such a mission, so it helps to clean out the tubing and
removing these obstructions.

Tool string
Tool string contains 4 basic tools:
Spin-cat (Rotary jetting tool): hardened tool contains 5
rotating nozzles , which rotate when we apply a minimum
pumping rate up to a maximum value, these values depend
on the size of the tool, this is determined with other
characteristics in the technical data sheet available in the
box.
Straining bar: used to add increase the length of the tool
string, this would decrease the stress on the jetting tool once
we have deviation, also it will help in leading the tool string.
Motor Head Assembly (MHA): Consists of four main parts
Double Flapper check valve: to secure the
tubing once we had reverse flowing fluids, while
going downhole.
Dis-connecter: used to disconnect the tool string
below the check valve once we are unable to
POOH with all tool string.
Circulation Sub: used as a secondary element to
circulate fluids once nozzles of jetting tool have
been closed by sediments of pumped fluids or for
any other reasons, this sub will be activated by
applying pressure (5000 psi) to a burst disc.
Connecter: AMMT threaded connecter to connect between
the tool string to the coiled tubing, connected dimple
connecter, contains two O-rings to seal the annular space
between the OD of connecter and ID of CT, which we usually
roll on by a roller to increase the sealing facility.
make up and Testing Procedure

 Check all necessary equipment and tools needed by the job

in the box, which includes the pre-mentioned tools, also the
Pull-plate to make pull test for the connector, Needle valve
to apply a pressure test , Test ball to test the tubing, and
dimple Jig to connect the connector the tubing.
We Cut half feet from the tubing end, then we started to file
the internal welding area of the tubing to smooth it out, and
to allow the connector to enter it smoothly without damage
of O-Rings.
Test that the circulation and dis-connector ball are passing
through the connector in case of any emergency happened.
We Inserted the Dimple Jig around the tubing.
We inserted the connector by connecting the ball catcher
then pull plate and hammered on them using a wood piece.
Mark the O- Rings Position on the tubing using other
connector.
Made up the pull plate and make pull test up to 20k lbs.
Made up the ball catcher, and then dropped the ball on the
tubing reel manifold then flush @2000 psi to insure that
there are no obstructions in the tubing.
Replaced ball catcher by Pull plate, Made up the Needle
valve then flushed tubing, closed the needle valve then start
pressure test, increased the pressure to 500 psi, checked if
there is any visual leak, then increased the pressure up to
4500 psi gradually then hold up to 10 min, bleed of the
pressure from Needle valve
Fastened the spin-cat to apply a function test, starting with
0.6 BPM increasing gradually by 0.2 BPM steps up to 1.0 for
1 11/16 size and 1.2 BPM for 2 1/8 depending on the rates
provided by technical data sheets, observing the point we it
started to rotate, then observed the rotation if satisfactory or
not, taking all the time the pressure value in our
consideration, then made up the too string, then Contd
Rigging up CT equipment to start RIH.

Rih procedure:
1st Run (tool string size 2 1/8)
Started to run with low speed @ 20 ft/mn since it is the first
run, with rate 0.8 BPM @ 2000 psi, till we reached first
obstruction at 371 ft noticed that from weight indicator, we
immediately POOH 20 fts, then RIH carefully till 2 fts before
the obstruction, increased pressure for 4500 psi for a while
at that point, then RIH carefully, we passed successfully,
same tags @ 725, 981, 1151, 1216, 1223 ft.
Contd to RIH same speed till we reached bottom F Nipple,
passed with caution, then POOH 50 fts, started to pump 25
HI-VIZ gel BBLs followed by 100 BBLs @ rate 1 BBLs/mn of
water till the water reached the surface from return line, we
had scales in the return, then POOH to surface.

2nd Run (tool string size 1 11/16)

Started to run with low speed @ 30 ft/mn since it is the first
run, with rate 0.7 BPM @ 2000 psi, we had no obstructions,
after 1000 ft we increased the speed up to 50 ft/mn
Contd to RIH same speed till we reached bottom R Nipple,
started to pump 25 HI-VIZ gel BBLs followed by 30 water
BBLs @ rate then 25 HI-VIZ gel BBLs followed by 100 water
BBLs 0.7 BBLs/mn of water till the water reached the
surface from return line, we had a small amount of scales in
the return of first pumped water, but in the second we didnt
have any scales, all were water and oil.

Meeting with client

As we met with ZADCO REP, we discussed safety rules,
housekeeping, then the operation illustrating that wireline gauge
cutter didnt pass the tubing at 371 ft depth, and our zero point
that we will start from depending on the ORTE that we had on the
Drawing.
Through the operation, we communicated with him all the time
reporting him about the running and the tool once we pull it out
to check it visually, and the time we have stopped pumping then
started to POOH to surface, also about the return and well head
pressure, then reporting that we have finished the operation.

Problems and precautions

1st problem was in tool string arrangement, we made up the
straight bar before the MHA, and this might cause problem if
we forgot and RIH, since if we had disconnected the tool, we
will not have a safety barrier to secure the tubing from
reverse circulations.
2nd problem was that once we finished the 1 st run we didnt
make a function test for the SPIN-CAT which will make a
proof from the client the tool did its work downhole properly.
Small sizes like 1 11/16 should be made up by hand tight to
avoid over torque and thread to be damaged.

 POOH and RIH weight should be taken each 1000 ft by pick

up of 100 fts to ensure that we dont have overload.
Serial number and codes for each tool should be recorded to
be reported later.
