A flexible connector for connecting coiled tubing to a bottom hole assembly is disclosed. The flexible connector has multiple internal diameters that reduces breakage due bending down hole and reduces turbulence of fluid flowing through the coiled tubing, flexible connector, and bottom hole assembly. The flexible connector also reduces the chances of a bottom hole assembly attached by the flexible connector to a coiled tubing being stuck down hole.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods of coating a coiled tubing string, methods of conducting tubing operations using a coated tubing string, and associated apparatus thereof. In one implementation, a method of conducting a coiled tubing operation, includes forming a tubing string. The tubing string has a central annulus, an inner surface, and an outer surface, and the tubing string is formed from a metallic material. The method also includes coiling the tubing string onto a spool, and moving a coating into the central annulus. The method also includes curing the coating onto the inner surface of the tubing string to form a layer of the coating on the inner surface of the tubing string.

A wireline system includes an operations cabin with a plurality of electrical devices, and a winch that includes an electric winch motor operable to drive a drum to manipulate a wireline cable. A first engine and a first electric generator are each arranged within the operations cabin and generate electrical power, a second electric generator driven by a second engine via a power takeoff to generate electrical power, and an umbilical extends from the operations cabin to an external energy source to provide electrical power. A battery pack is arranged within the operations cabin and includes rechargeable batteries communicably coupled to the electric generators and the umbilical, wherein the battery pack solely provides electrical power to the electric winch motor and the electrical devices, and wherein the electric generators and the external energy source provide electrical power to recharge the rechargeable batteries.

Expandable tube members that are fabricated from a composite material that includes a structural plastic, which structural plastic includes phase change materials that undergo a permanent expansion upon exposure to wellbore conditions. This permanent expansion of the structural plastic causes the expandable tube member to expand radially and/or longitudinally without the use of an expansion tool. The expandable tube member can be used to control fluid loss, patch wells, stabilize a formation in a wellbore, enhance flow, provide sand screening, and repair damaged pipes, casings, or liners.

A casing pipe extends in a vertical direction, and two adjacent casing pipes are connected by a plurality of link mechanisms; the link mechanism includes two supports, the two supports are hinged by a first pin to form a hinged portion, an upper end and a lower end of the link mechanism are hinged to two adjacent casing pipes by second pins separately, a sensor is fixed to the link mechanism, and the link mechanism has an initial state of extending in the vertical direction and an extending state in which the hinged portion extends outwards to be located on an outer side of the casing pipe; a driving mechanism drives a push portion to move towards the link mechanism; and a downward pressing apparatus is used for pressing a top end of the topmost casing pipe downwards to push the hinged portion into a side wall of the borehole.

A method for zonal isolation in a subterranean formation includes identifying a zone of interest within the subterranean formation, determining a static temperature of the zone of interest, determining a time duration for gelation of a treatment fluid, determining a concentration of an accelerator in the treatment fluid, determining a volume of the treatment fluid to be delivered to the zone of interest, determining a correlation between cooling of a wellbore near the zone of interest and a delivery rate of the treatment fluid, determining a target wellbore temperature, delivering a cooling stage until the target wellbore temperature is reached, and delivering a treatment stage. Delivering the cooling stage and the treatment stage results in forming, within the zone of interest, a gel that is impermeable to fluid flow.
