Fracking has been used since the early 1950s to drill vertically‚ strictly where the well pipeline will be placed.

ever-increasing array of well intervention projects. Coiled tubing offers a number of operational and economic advantages‚ including: live well intervention‚ elimination of well kill and potentially damaging heavy-weight kill fluids‚ reduced operational footprint‚ horizontal intervention‚ and the ability to intervene without a rig. These advantages have led to the development of truly fit-for-purpose coiled tubing systems from the industry’s largest provider of coiled tubing well intervention solutions

Hillard Huntington et al.2013 Fracking was developed to get the remnants of oil contained in production wells‚ especially in old oil wells. This process is effective to increase the number of production wells. Fracking is highly controversial in many countries such as‚ USA‚ German‚ and UK. Some people say that fracking can advocate the economic benefits of more broadly accessible hydrocarbons.

To ensure that neither the fluid that will eventually be pumped through the well‚ nor the oil or gas that will eventually be collected‚ enters the water supply‚ steel surface or intermediate casings are inserted into the well to depths of between 1‚000 and 4‚000 feet. The space between these casing “strings” and the drilled hole (wellbore)‚ called the annulus‚ is filled with cement. Once the cement
