End connector for composite coiled tubing

摘要

An end connector (10) for connecting composite coiled tubing to equipment used in downhole wellbore operations, comprises an intermediate portion (50) and first (55) and second (60) end portions connected thereto. The first end portion (55) has threads (66) defined thereon to mate with threads defined on the inner surface of the composite coiled tubing. The outer surface (82) of the end connector is flush with the outer surface of a composite coiled tubing when connected thereto. The connector has a means (78) for providing a seal between the end connector and the composite coiled tubing. <IMAGE>
