Overview
Foremost Industries LP has been at the forefront of developing coiled tubing (CT) technologies for drilling applications. Initially, drilling new wells from the surface using CT was unproven until the first successful attempts in 1994 near Medicine Hat, Alberta. Foremost engineered the first Hybrid Coiled Tubing Drill Rig in 1997, capable of drilling new wells using either conventional top drive technology with jointed pipe or continuous coiled tubing with injector systems.

Technological Advancements
Foremost continues to innovate in coiled tubing technology, creating efficient, safe, and mobile drilling rigs. These rigs are designed to meet industry demands and are custom-engineered to specific customer requirements.

Performance Highlights

• Average penetration rates of 820 ft (250 m) per hour are standard with coiled tubing.
• Drilling and casing new wells under 1,000 meters in less than a day is now an industry standard.
• Depths greater than 8,100 ft (2,500 m) with 3-1/2” (89 mm) diameter coiled tubing have been achieved.
• From 2000 to 2008, over 40,000 new wells were drilled using Hybrid Coiled Tubing Rigs (CTR).

Rig Specifications
Foremost Hybrid Coiled Tubing Rigs offer various configurations with injector capacities up to 200,000 lbs (90 Tonne), top drive hook load capacities up to 300,000 lbs (136 Tonne), and 3 ½” diameter coil capacities of up to 9,800 ft (3,000 m).

Commitment to Innovation
Foremost is dedicated to collaborating with innovative customers to advance coiled tubing drilling technology further.
