The Reservoir Group Well Intervention External Dimple Coiled Tubing Connector is used when the internal surface of the Coiled Tubing is unable to provide a sealing surface, due to pitting from acid or corrosion.
The larger bore of this connector enables higher flow rates and larger drop-ball sizes to be used. The assembly is also useful when an external end connector with a minimal OD is required.
The outer surface of the Coiled Tubing is prepared using emery cloth to provide a sealing surface. Using the Reservoir Group Well Intervention External Dimpling Tool, the surface of the Coiled Tubing can be dimpled. The connector is then installed over the end of the Coiled Tubing, and the dimpling screws are tightened into the impressions made from the dimpling tool.
