STEP is proud to announce a first in Canadian completions: using Coil+, a dual-agitator system, STEP successfully completed a three-well program in the Montney for a valued client. This project marked the first time an energy operator in Canada ran this split-string configuration.

Coil+ pushes the boundaries of coiled tubing by enabling longer well designs. Mid-string and bottomhole agitators reduce friction and extend lateral reach, and a single connection design offers a safer, faster, and more efficient milling alternative to traditional snubbing operations while maximizing production potential.

STEP has successfully completed over 100 wells in the U.S. market using Coil+, yet the company continues to advance the capabilities of this technology. On this particular program, STEP-conneCT was utilized in conjunction with Coil+, providing real-time insights into wellbore conditions and enabled the team to maximize operational performance. Through the integration of these two technologies, the team pushed operational limits and set a new depth record for the client.

After completing the program during its deployment in Canada, the (Montney) operator commented: "Activating the Coil+ mid-string agitator was critical as we would not have reached total depth on several wells without it. The installation and removal of the mid-string agitator on surface by both the service team and our coil tool provider was safe and efficient. This successful deployment gives us the confidence to use the Coil+ technology on future pads. It has already changed the way we look at our future drill plans."

“Coil+ is transforming what’s possible in coiled tubing,” said Rory Thompson, Chief Operating Officer, STEP. “This successful execution demonstrates the commitment of our professionals to push the boundaries of coiled tubing and provides operators with tools to reach more of the reservoir both safely and efficiently.”

With Coil+ now deployed in Canada, operators can reliably reach total depth and unlock pay zones once thought unreachable.
