Motion Compensating Coil Tubing Lift Frame
Scana Offshore Services and Stingray Offshore Solutions have combined efforts to design, engineer, and manufacture Motion Compensating Coil Tubing Lift Frames for the upstream oil and gas market.
Recently the industry has moved from having traditional derrick mounted drill string compensators to utilizing active drawworks. This stems from the need to increase both the Variable Deck Load and the stability of deep water drilling rigs.
Unfortunately, wire line compensation units present drawbacks when used for Drill Stem Testing type operations as their failure mode can create scenarios that either lock up the compensating ability or instruct the drawworks to lift the string that is in support. In the case of DST work, this can easily produce a catastrophic failure.
The solution for such a scenario is to utilize a Coil Tubing Lift Frame with Motion Compensation capabilities. The attached presentation is a culmination from years of experience installing, interfacing, designing, and troubleshooting motion compensating systems in both drilling and coil tubing applications.
