Abstract

A dual telemetric coiled tubing running string for disposing a bottom hole assembly into a wellbore. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string includes a string of coiled tubing which defines a flowbore along its length, an electrical wire conduit disposed within the flowbore, and an optic fiber disposed within the flowbore.

Claims (24)

1. A dual telemetric coiled tubing running string for disposing a bottom hole assembly which is at least one of the group consisting of: a fishing bottom hole assembly, an acidizing/fracturing bottom hole assembly, a cleanout bottom hole assembly or an electrically powered tool into a wellbore, the dual telemetric coiled tubing running string comprising:

a string of coiled tubing which defines a flowbore along its length;

an electrical wire conduit disposed within the flowbore; and

an optic fiber disposed within the flowbore and terminating above the bottom hole assembly, the optic fiber not being connected to a sensor at point of termination.

2. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 1 wherein the electrical wire conduit is encased within a protective tube within the flowbore.

3. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 1 wherein the optic fiber is encased within a protective tube within the flowbore.

4. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 3 wherein the optic fiber is operably associated with an optical time-domain reflectometer to receive optical telemetry from the optic fiber which is representative of a detected second operating parameter within the flowbore.

5. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 4 wherein the second operating parameter is a parameter from the group consisting of: temperature and acoustic.

6. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 1 wherein the electrical wire conduit is operably associated with a sensor within the wellbore and transmits a signal representative of a first operating parameter sensed by the sensor.

7. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 6 wherein the first operating parameter is a parameter from the group consisting of: temperature, pressure, depth and gamma.

8. The dual telemetric coiled tubing running string of claim 1 wherein the electrical wire conduit and the optic fiber are each individually encased within a separate protective tube.

9. A work string to be disposed within a wellbore, the work string comprising:

a bottom hole assembly which is at least one of the group consisting of: a fishing bottom hole assembly, an acidizing/fracturing bottom hole assembly, a cleanout bottom hole assembly or an electrically powered tool;

a dual telemetric coiled tubing running string for disposing a bottom hole assembly into a wellbore, the dual telemetric coiled tubing running string having:

a string of coiled tubing which defines a flowbore along its length;

an electrical wire conduit disposed within the flowbore; and

an optic fiber disposed within the flowbore and terminating above the bottom hole assembly, the optic fiber not being connected to a sensor at point of termination.

10. The work string of claim 9 wherein the electrical wire conduit is encased within a protective tube within the flowbore.

11. The work string of claim 9 wherein the optic fiber is encased within a protective tube within the flowbore.

12. The work string of claim 9 wherein the electrical wire conduit is operably associated with a sensor within the wellbore and transmits a signal representative of a first operating parameter sensed by the sensor.

13. The work string of claim 12 wherein the first operating parameter is a parameter from the group consisting of: temperature, pressure, depth and gamma.

14. The work string of claim 9 wherein the optic fiber is operably associated with an optical time-domain reflectometer to receive optical telemetry from the optic fiber which is representative of a detected second operating parameter within the flowbore.

15. The work string of claim 14 wherein the second operating parameter is a parameter from the group consisting of: temperature and acoustic.

16. The work string of claim 9 wherein the electrical wire conduit and the optic fiber are each individually encased within a separate protective tube.
