Analysis of sinusoidal post-buckling deformation of horizontal coiled tubing with initial residual bending
Zhuang Li, Liangyu Chen, Fei Yuan, Lei Zhao
TL;DR
This paper studies how initial residual bending affects the buckling deformation of coiled tubing in horizontal wells, showing how it influences contact forces and buckling patterns.
Contribution
A new analytical method is introduced to model post-sinusoidal buckling with residual bending in coiled tubing.
Findings
The initial parameter Г strongly influences post-sinusoidal buckling deformation and the onset of mixed sinusoidal-helical buckling.
Higher compression velocity increases the contact force between coiled tubing and the well wall.
Residual bending significantly affects the deformation behavior of coiled tubing in horizontal wells.
Abstract
In the process of horizontal well construction, the working environment in the well is very complicated. It is difficult to determine the actual deformation and force of the coiled tubing in the wellbore from the load change at the wellhead along. In addition, the coiled tubing wrapped around the reel and entering the wellbore through the injection head may cause an initial residual bending. In this paper, the mathematical model of the coiled tubing under axial load during buckling deformation is established, and the analytical solution with the time term is derived by reasonable simplification of the model. The effect of residual bending on the post-sinusoidal buckling of the coiled tubing in the horizontal well was investigated using the separation variable method. The effect of residual bending variations on the well wall contact forces is analyzed. The research shows that the…
