    The document discusses the history of coiled tubing from its origins in World War II to modern applications in the oil and gas industry. It describes how coiled tubing was first used in 1944 to supply fuel across the English Channel by welding pipe sections together and coiling them into spools. The first oilfield application of coiled tubing was in 1962 in California to wash out sand bridges in wells. Over 60 years the manufacturing process has evolved, with the document outlining current production steps like tubing forming, welding, stress relief, and testing.
