Coiled Tubing Operators: Technical experts managing downhole operations, fluid injection, and equipment safety compliance. Discover MTSCO’s API-certified coiled tubing systems with corrosion-resistant alloys for shale gas and deepwater applications.

The Coiled Tubing Operator is an integral technical role in oil and gas well operations, operating Coiled Tubing equipment, performing downhole operations, fluid injection, and tubing system maintenance. The core responsibilities can be categorized into three main modules: 

Precise Equipment Handling

Operators are well versed in hydraulic control systems and coiled tubing winch operations, and monitor parameters such as yield strength and elongation of tubing in real time according to API 5ST standards. The austenitic (304/316L) and duplex (2205) welded coiled tubing produced by MTSCO Stainless Steel significantly reduces the risk of fatigue during high-pressure acid injection and wax scavenging operations thanks to its high tensile strength (≥620MPa) and resistance to hydrogen sulfide corrosion. 

Safety and Compliance Management

NACE MR0175 is strictly enforced to prevent stress corrosion cracking caused by acidic environment. Operators are required to regularly test for wall thickness changes and assess remaining life through the pipeline integrity management system (IMS) provided by MTSCO. The company provides nickel alloy C276 control tubing that maintains stable permeability in extreme CO₂/H₂S-laden well conditions. 

Process Optimization Synergy 

In scenarios such as multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells, operators need to collaborate with engineers to design parameters such as the rate of tubing entry and circulating pressure. Maxtor's customized control tubing service can match materials to well depth (≤8,000m) and temperature (-46°C~260°C) requirements, and its API 5LC certified products have been applied in scenarios such as shale gas and deepwater oil and gas fields. 

As an API 5ST and ISO 9001 dual-certified company, MTSCO Stainless provides customers around the world with complete solutions from pipe manufacturing to on-site technical support, helping to increase the efficiency of coiled tubing operations by more than 30%.
