are also available. Manufacturers provide joints of tubing in two
range lengths: range 1 tubing joints are 20-24 feet long; range 2
tubing joints are 28 to 32 feet long. Coiled tubing is also used in
a similar capacity as the tubing. It is a continuous length - it
does not have joints - of flexible steel pipe that comes rolled on
a large reel. Operators have completed wells over 20,000 feet deep
with coiled tubing. The main advantage of coiled tubing is that
crew members do not have to connect several single joints of tubing
when installing the string.Steps 1. From the application main menu,

Viewing Coupling Displacement DataA coupling is a metal collar
with internal threads used to join two sections of threaded pipe.
In terms of coupling displacement, the coupling is involved in
removing one fluid (usually liquid) from a wellboreA borehole; the
hole drilled by the bit. A wellbore may have casing in it or it may
be open (uncased); or part of it may be cased, and part of it may
be open. Also called a borehole or hole. and replacing it with

Collars
Drill CollarsA drill collar is a component of a drillstring that
provides weight on bit for drilling. Drill collars are thick-walled
tubular pieces machined from solid bars of steel, usually plain
carbon steel but sometimes of nonmagnetic nickel-copper alloy or
other nonmagnetic premium alloys. The bars of steel are drilled
from end to end to provide a passage to pumping drilling fluids
through the collars. The outside diameter of the steel bars may be
machined slightly to ensure roundness, and in some cases may be
machined with helical grooves ("spiral collars"). Last, threaded
connections, male on one end and female on the other, are cut so
multiple collars can be screwed together along with other downhole
tools to make a bottomhole assembly (BHA). Gravity acts on the
large mass of the collars to provide the downward force needed for
the bits to efficiently break rock. To accurately control the
amount of force applied to the bit, the driller carefully monitors
the surface weight measured while the bit is just off the bottom of
the wellbore. Next, the drillstring (and the drill bit), is slowly
and carefully lowered until it touches bottom. After that point, as
the driller continues to lower the top of the drillstring, more and
more weight is applied to the bit, and correspondingly less weight
is measured as hanging at the surface. If the surface measurement
shows 20,000 pounds [9080 kg] less weight than with the bit off
bottom, then there should be 20,000 pounds force on the bit (in a
vertical hole). Downhole MWD sensors measure weight-on-bit more
accurately and transmit the data to the surface. Steps 1. From the
