Abstract:
A programmable logic controller (PLC) receives first information from a first set of cameras positioned adjacent to a coiled tubing reel configured to deliver a coiled tubing string for insertion into a well. The PLC receives second information from a second different set of cameras positioned on a center of an arc of a primary turn of coiled tubing string. The PLC receives third information from a third different set of cameras positioned above a stripper and below an injector head. The PLC receives fourth information from a fourth different set of cameras embedded in an adapted spool below coiled tubing blow-out preventer equipment. The PLC uses the first, second, third, and fourth information, each including images of the coiled tubing string captured over time, to determine flaws exists in a segment of the coiled tubing string. A notification is provided that includes information identifying the flaws.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method, comprising:\n receiving, by a programmable logic controller (PLC) from a first set of cameras that are positioned adjacent to a coiled tubing reel configured to deliver a coiled tubing string for insertion into a well, first information including images of the coiled tubing string captured over time during the insertion, wherein the images include images capturing the coiled tubing string leaving the coiled tubing reel; receiving, by the PLC from a second different set of cameras that are positioned on a center of an arc of a primary turn imposed on the coiled tubing string, second information including images of the coiled tubing string captured over time during the insertion, wherein the images include images capturing the coiled tubing string passing by the center of the arc of the primary turn imposed on the coiled tubing string; receiving, by the PLC from a third different set of cameras that are positioned above a stripper and below an injector head, third information including images of the coiled tubing string captured over time during the insertion, wherein the images include images capturing the coiled tubing string entering the stripper below the injector head; receiving, by the PLC from a fourth different set of cameras that are embedded in an adapted spool below coiled tubing blow-out preventer equipment, fourth information including images of the coiled tubing string captured over time during the insertion, wherein the images include images capturing the coiled tubing string in the adapted spool below the coiled tubing blow-out preventer equipment; determining, by the PLC and using the first information, the second information, the third information, and the fourth information, that at least one flaw exists in a segment of the coiled tubing string, the determining including:\n correlating, using timestamps associated with the images, images captured at correlated positions on the coiled tubing string; \n analyzing and comparing, based on the correlating, the images from the first information, the second information, the third information, and the fourth information; and \n monitoring, based on the analyzing and comparing, depreciation of the coiled tubing string compared with original conditions of the coiled tubing string to determine that the at least one flaw exists; and \n providing a notification that includes information identifying the at least one flaw.
