HYBRID COILED TUBING RIGS With the versatility of a single drilling rig and its ability to drill a well using either a top drive & jointed pipe or an injector & continuous coiled tubing, the potential gains in productivity are endless.

Overview Although the use of coiled tubing (CT) in drilling applications is not new, drilling new wells from surface had not been proven, until recently. The first attempts to drill new wells with coiled tubing occurred near Medicine Hat, Alberta in 1994. Since then Foremost continues to lead the industry in the development of new CT technologies to overcome the challenges associated with existing equipment. In 1997, Foremost engineered and manufactured the industries first Hybrid Coiled Tubing Drill Rig – a single rig with the unique ability to drill new wells from surface using either conventional...
