Tubing storage, handling and transport
Guidelines for storing, handling and transporting completion tubing
1 Storage
The design of pipe racks depends on local conditions (load capacity, degree of permanency, etc). Racks can be made with pipe supports (stringers) set on concrete or wooden bases. Drilltec aluminium racks should be considered for certain tubulars such as CRAs (Corrosion Resistant Alloys). Spacing should be around 2 m which allows 20 ft joints to be stored on two stringers and 40 ft joints on four stringers.
Tubing should be stacked with separators between layers. Separators in the layers . . .
