FOREWORD
NORSOK (The competitive standing of the Norwegian offshore sector) is the industry initiative to
add value, reduce cost and lead time and remove unnecessary activities in offshore field
developments and operations.
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry as a part of the
NORSOK initiative and are jointly issued by OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association) and
TBL (The Federation of Norwegian Engineering Industries). NORSOK standards are administered
by NTS (Norwegian Technology Standards Institution).
The purpose of this industry standard is to replace the individual oil company specifications for use
in existing and future petroleum industry developments, subject to the individual company's review
and application.
The NORSOK standards make extensive references to international standards. Where relevant, the
contents of this standard will be used to provide input to the international standardisation process.
Subject to implementation into international standards, this NORSOK standard will be withdrawn.
SCOPE
This standard describes functional, performance and operational requirements for the coiled tubing
equipment.

The well control system is divided in the following three distinct logic groups, referenced from
below the injector to the x-mas tree:
Primary well control system designed to enable efficient coiled tubing operation, this is the
strippers (stuffing boxes), the coiled tubing body and the dual flapper check valves, alternatively
plugged end of the coiled tubing.
Secondary well control system designed to meet or exceed requirements for a secondary barrier
element as during normal drilling operations. As a minimum it consists of three independent
rams; blind/shear, tubing, slip. Connections to this system shall be with metal to metal seal.
Tertiary well control system, safety head. A separate independent shear/seal BOP fitted as close
as possible to the wellhead with metal to metal seal connections and with an entirely independent
closing unit.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1
General

conditions and other work parameters specified by the work program.
5.2
Product/services
Typical service performed by a coiled tubing unit:
Pumping.
Milling/drilling (junk-, scale-, window-, hole-).
Clean-out.
Lifting.
Operate downhole tools (packers, plugs etc.).
Fishing.
Logging.
Perforating.
5.3
Equipment/schematic/borderline
The system normally consists of the following main items:
Injector head w/control system and frame(s).
Hydraulic power system.
Coiled tubing reel assembly.
Control cabin with data acquisition system.
Rig-up equipment.
Well control system.

Interface requirements
Mechanic, electric, hydraulic and pneumatic connections shall be compatible with the rig or
platform connections.
5.9
Commissioning requirements
Function testing of all relevant coiled tubing unit components including all accessory equipment
shall be performed prior to each job.
Function testing and verification of the injector head positive and negative weight indicator system
shall be performed prior to each job.
Documentation/verification of acceptable rig up versus forces and bending momentums.
Documentation/verification that coiled tubing downhole tools, well control systems, frames, injector
head and pumps can handle expected work conditions inside set safety factors.

Accumulators:
All preventors in the secondary and tertiary well control systems shall be used as basis when
calculating accumulator capacity.
Sufficient capacity for three operations (close, open, close) plus 25% of the volume of one
closing operation for each of the rams.
Accumulator capacity shall be calculated according to the following minimum requirements:
Sufficient volumetric capacity for three (3) operations (close, open, close) for all rams, plus 25%
of the volume of one closing operation for each of the rams. Sufficient pressure capacity to
enable cutting the coiled tubing in accordance with the following requirements:
Sufficient remaining accumulator pressure to enable cutting of the coiled tubing after having
used a volume corresponding to:
- Closing and opening of one annular preventer.
- Closing, opening and closing of one pipe ram.
Alternatively a dedicated shear ram auxiliary pressure system may be installed to meet the
minimum requirements for cutting the coiled tubing if the remaining accumulator pressure is
insufficient to enable cutting after having performed operations as mentioned above.
There shall be documentary evidence that the pressure capacity of the accumulators are capable
of operating the rams according to the design requirements.
Regulators in the system shall remain unaffected in the event of loss of power.
Well control hoses and connections including pilot hoses for well control purpose:
Fire resistant, capable of withstanding 700C for minimum 15 minutes.
Riser:
Minimum pressure rating 345 bar (5000 psi).
Metal to metal seals.
Designed to withstand the most unfavourable combination of expected forces that can be
encountered during an operation.
