AI Technical Summary
Existing coiled tubing systems face challenges with complex valve designs that are prone to jamming due to symmetrical wire distribution, requiring large drive mechanisms and adding length to the assembly, and suffer from inefficient fluid flow due to symmetrical conduit placement, which limits the size of the conduits and increases the risk of system failure under external forces.
A valve section design with radially offset inlets and outlets, a balanced valve actuator, and a pressure-compensated hydraulic system that allows for flexible configuration and reduced complexity, enabling efficient fluid control and communication between modules without jamming, even under external forces.
The solution provides reliable, area-efficient fluid control and communication within coiled tubing systems, reducing the risk of jamming and system failure, while allowing for multiple tasks and configurations without increasing the assembly's length, thus enhancing operational flexibility and efficiency.
