A major factor in the success of well-intervention projects using coiled tubing is the ability to disperse fluid within the wellbore. Halliburton's Pulsonix TF service, along with DuraKleen, incorporates coiled-tubing and fluidic oscillator technology with tuned frequency capability and asphaltene inhibition to enable fine-tuning rates and frequencies and decreased deposits.Older conventional methods of circulating or injecting fluid through a ported wash tool or jet-oriented wash tool do not provide fluid distribution assurance. The ease of fluid flow to the area of least resistance will override the best intentions when the area of the wellbore that requires the application treatment is the area of the most resistance.Fluidic oscillation creates alternating bursts of fluid to break up or dislodge near-wellbore damage to restore the...
