coiled tubing
A long, continuous length of pipe wound on a spool. The pipe is straightened prior to pushing into a wellbore and rewound to coil the pipe back onto the transport and storage spool. Depending on the pipe diameter (1 in. To 4 1/2 in. ) and the spool size, coiled tubing can range from 2,000 ft to 15,000 ft (610 to 4,570 m) or greater length.
