Coiled Tubing Lens Cleaning System
The CTU Lens Cleaning Camera is part of the Hybrid Camera Family, designed specifically for coiled tubing (CTU) operations. It delivers real-time video via E-Coil while simultaneously recording the job in Full HD for detailed post-analysis. The tool continuously cleans the camera lens during operation while replacing the wellbore fluid in front of the BHA, ensuring clear visuals even in challenging environments.
This lens cleaning technology is one of the most valuable innovations in downhole camera operations, significantly increasing reliability and improving the overall success rate of inspections.
1. Before the oil layer
2. When the camera lens gets covered
3. during the cleaning process
4. once the lens is fully clear again
Protection and Precision Combined
For Sideview cameras, centralizers are indispensable. The camera can only provide accurate visuals if it is perfectly centered, keeping equal distance from the casing wall.
Centralizers also enhance safety by reducing the chance of hitting casing joints and protect the equipment from damage. With stable positioning, operators can precisely evaluate the size and severity of downhole defects, ensuring reliable inspections.
