Stainless steel tubing in coils and on spools is a longstanding area of expertise for Alleima. This includes extensive development of ultra-long, orbital-welded lengths of continuous, high-precision coiled tube, exceeding 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) for the first time.
New coil tube production methods developed by Alleima R&D and mills involve a combination of sophisticated pilgering, precision drawing and proprietary processes. The weld-free material is particularly beneficially for the energy sector, reducing risks of cracking or corrosion. Coiled tubing offers a wide range of benefits across different industries, including:
- Cost efficiency: Coiled tubing operations often require fewer personnel and less equipment compared to conventional methods, leading to cost savings in terms of manpower and mobilization/demobilization expenses.
- Time savings: Coiled tubing operations can be faster than traditional methods, as the continuous tubing allows for continuous operations without the need for frequent tripping in and out of the well.
- Reduced environmental impact: Coiled tubing operations typically require smaller footprints and produce less waste compared to conventional methods, contributing to reduced environmental impact and regulatory compliance.
- Enhanced safety: With fewer manual handling requirements and reduced rig-up time, coiled tubing operations can enhance safety for personnel on-site.
