Displacement Mud Displacement mud refers to the drilling fluid that is used to replace or “displace” another fluid already in the wellbore. This is often done while running in hole with tools, casing, or liners. When Is It Used During RIH? Running casing or liners: When casing is run into the well, especially to total depth (TD), a clean mud or spacer is pumped to displace cement or contaminated drilling mud. Tool runs (e.g., MWD, LWD, or BHA): Before running in hole with sensitive tools, displa

Coiled Tubing Coiled Tubing is a continuous length of small-diameter steel pipe, typically ranging from 1 inch to 3.25 inches in diameter, wound on a large spool. It can be inserted into a wellbore without having to remove the existing tubing, allowing for live well interventions. Key Features of Coiled Tubing Operations 1. Continuous Pipe: The tubing is spooled on a reel and can be deployed into the well quickly and efficiently. 2. Pressure Control: CT operations can be performed under pressure
