Coiled Tubing & Well Intervention Conference & Exhibition 2015
Dear Well Intervention and Coiled Tubing Colleagues,
The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the Intervention &
Coiled Tubing Association (ICoTA) are excited to present one of our
most successful annual events, the Coiled Tubing & Well Intervention
Conference & Exhibition. It will return to The Woodlands, Texas, USA,
24–25 March 2015.
The 2015 event will include a diverse range of presentations covering
innovative solutions, results-focused best practices, and HSE
improvements across all sectors of the industry, including electric line,
slick line, hydraulic workover, and coiled tubing for both onshore and
offshore operations.
This year’s conference features a sold-out exhibition, with more than
90 exhbitors in 20,000 square feet. Plus, prior to the start of the
conference, three training courses are available: Coiled Tubing and
Its Applications, Subsea Well Interventions, and a new SPE course
covering the Fundamentals of Hydraulic Workover Operations.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Sincerely,
Steven Craig

Coiled Tubing & Well Intervention Conference & Exhibition 2015
Conference Training Courses
The training course will be held at the Woodlands Marriott Waterway
Coiled Tubing and Its Applications, 1-day Class
Monday, 23 March | 0800–1700
Instructor: Ed Smalley
This course provides an introduction to coiled tubing (CT) as a tool for workover and drilling
and completion services. It includes an overview of CT extended-reach operations, typical
field applications, the properties of CT, its manufacture, surface equipment required for
downhole deployment, as well as discussion about downhole CT tools. A significant portion
of the course covers CT mechanical performance, including working limits, buckling, and
fatigue. A discussion of CT drilling technology and hydraulics is also included.
Fundamentals and Introduction to Hydraulic
Workover Applications, ½-day Class
Monday, 23 March | 0800–1200
Instructor: Ralph McDaniel
Hydraulic workover (Snubbing) can do anything a rig can do and do it under pressure. It can
operate on land, offshore, and in remote locations. Discussion will cover HWO equipment,
job design, applications, rig ups, and production improvement methods. Highlights include a
workover decision tree related to CT, HWO, and a workover rig.
Subsea Well Interventions, ½-day Class
Monday, 23 March | 1300–1700
Instructors: Experts from Statoil, FMC, and Helix Well Ops
This course is intended as an introductory technical course providing awarenesslevel information on the main aspects of current subsea well intervention technology,
applications, and activities. The main focus is on specialized subsea well intervention
technology and operations with wireline or coiled tubing. The course is primarily intended
for personnel new to well intervention practices, subsea well operations, or both.

Keynote Luncheon:
The Global Market for Wellbore Intervention Services
Tuesday, 24 March | 1200–1300
Speaker: Richard Spears, Managing Director, Spears & Associates
In 2015, E&P companies will spend over $465 billion buying products and
services from the oilfield’s equipment and service suppliers around the world.
In 1999, a low point in the modern era, these same companies spent just $75
billion globally. With the global market for all things oilfield growing by 6x
in a decade and a half, how does the well intervention sector compare? Richard Spears
will present his firm’s evaluation of the coiled tubing services, wireline logging, and well
servicing markets, along with a look at some of the technologies that enabled the rapid
growth-completion equipment, directional drilling, and artificial lift markets.
www.spe.org/go/RegCTWI
Special Events (as of 26 November)
Speaker Biography: With an engineering degree from Oklahoma State University and
graduate work in industrial engineering, Richard Spears has worked for 35 years in the
upstream oil and gas industry, starting as a field engineer for Halliburton. Today, Spears
is one of the managing directors of Spears & Associates, an oilfield market research
firm. Richard has been with the firm since 1985 and leads its mergers and acquisitions
support practice.
Spears is a 30-year member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE 1141910) and
was an SPE Distinguished Lecturer 2005–2006. He is also a 29-year member of the
Association of Energy Service Companies.
Spears is on the board of directors of several oilfield service companies.

Coiled Tubing & Well Intervention Conference & Exhibition 2015
Technical Program (as of 26 November)
Tuesday, 24 March 0830–1145
01 Offshore and Subsea Well
Intervention Operations
Session Chairpersons:
Alastair Buchanan, Statoil
David Larimore, Halliburton
This session will highlight some of the
methods, techniques, and tools used to
address challenges in performing offshore,
subsea, and deep water well interventions.
These new and exciting methods and
equipment developments are providing
cost-effective means for well intervention
in the growing number of offshore and
subsea wells.
02 Improving Operational Efficiency
Session Chairpersons:
Rex Burgos, Schlumberger
Don McClatchie, Sanjel
This session will present proven, successful
approaches for improving operational
efficiency that can be adopted in other
operations, or in some cases, may lead to
new technologies.
8
Tuesday, 24 March
1345–1700
03 Well Intervention Applications I
Session Chairpersons:
Tom Keltner, Shell International E&P
Alan Turner, Halliburton – Boots & Coots
This session is focused on applications,
including P&A, using what are considered
the heavier well intervention techniques
(e.g. HWO). It also presents applications for
remedial repair of a casing using a CT/slick
line combination and introduces a surface
technique that both improves safety and
also reduces CT intervention time required.
04 CT Materials and Integrity
Session Chairpersons:
Alex Crabtree, Hess Corporation
Simon Sparke, Tullow Oil
The first part of this session will incorporate
short presentations reviewing premature
CT failures from three service providers.
Industry specialists will then join the
authors for a panel discussion on the
subject. The second part of the session will
look at new, developing CT materials to
meet the industry requirement for stronger
and more sour-resistant pipe. NDE of CT
strings has become more common and the
instrumentation continues to improve. This
session will provide an opportunity to hear
about these improvements.
Wednesday, 25 March
0830–1145
05 Electric, Slick, and Braided
Wireline Applications
Session Chairpersons:
Andrew Patterson, Consultant
Scott Ingram, Baker Hughes
This session will focus on how interventions
can extend the life of existing wells.
Speakers will present on real field
problems, where the application of wireline,
tractor, and slickline interventions delivered
successful outcomes.
06 CT Applications
Session Chairpersons:
Jennifer Julian, BP
Jason Skufca, ConocoPhillips
This session covers different applications
using new coiled tubing materials,
bottomhole assembly development for
new stimulation practices, and solutions
to challenging production problems with
unique fluids and placement techniques in
harsh environments.
Wednesday, 25 March 1345–1700
07 Well Intervention Applications II
Session Chairpersons:
Ricardo Quintero, Welltec
Bob Fraser, Penn West Exploration
This session will present applications
using alternative technologies that
challenge drilling, milling, and conventional
operations; review the latest developments
in equipment and tools; and detail
last-generation software modeling
that can assist in optimizing operations
efficiency in horizontal wells. We will also
cover the successes recorded in non-rig
operations environment.
www.spe.org/go/RegCTWI
Technical Program (as of 26 November)
08 Extended Reach Applications
Session Chairpersons:
Joddie Carlile, Shell
Scott Sherman, Trican Well Service
As lateral lengths increase, interventions
require more planning and refinement to
address the challenges associated with
spanning those lengths. This session will
highlight some unique challenges, along
with methods and equipment developed to
address these challenges.
