CONT

The method ... used for rate control is the insertion of a long coil of tubing of relatively small diameter. ... The diameter of the tube coil is calculated based on the shear rate for the desired flow rate.

OBS

The reel is an integral part of the coiled tubing unit, which consists of several devices that ensure the tubing can be safely and efficiently inserted into the well from the surface.
