Fatigue Analysis for Coiled Tubing (FACT)

Fatigue Analysis for Coiled Tubing
FACT

FACT is a management tool that can be used to maximise the safe use of coiled tubing strings. The Fatigue Analysis tracks the life consumption of individual coiled tubing strings and parts of the strings subject to jobs carried out in wells or in the yard, and shows life consumption per job

Maximum Fatigue Failure Cycles

The module allows the user to determine the maximum number of cycles to fatigue failure, considering factors such as internal pressure and field equipment.

Consideration of Corrosion and Stress Concentration Factors

Corrosion and stress concentration factors are taken into account in all computations performed by the module.

Two Modes of Operation: Stand-Alone and Real-Time Data Logging

The program can be used as a standalone application, allowing manual data entry, or it can interface with data-logging programs like DART for real-time monitoring of pipe state and tri-axial stresses.
