SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORMING A COILED TUBING CONNECTION

摘要

Aspects of the application provide a coiled tube connector and a system including a coiled tubing including a metal material, the coiled tubing adapted for use in a subterranean wellbore; and a device for connecting to the coiled tubing, the device comprising: a connector having a midsection, a first engagement region extending from the midsection, and a second engagement region extending from the midsection in a direction generally opposite the first engagement region, the first engagement region being sized for axial insertion into a coiled tubing and having a plurality of bayonet slots in direct engagement with the coiled tubing, each of the bayonet slots comprising a generally longitudinal slot portion intersected by a generally transverse slot portion, said longitudinal slot extending to a distal end of the first engagement region; a wellbore tool capable of performing a wellbore operation in direct engagement with the second engagement region; and a retention mechanism connected to both the coiled tubing and the connector and engaging with each of the coiled tubing and the connector to prevent a relative rotational movement therebetween while the system is disposed in the wellbore.
