There is a lack of useful, high quality and special information about new technologies  in modern oilfield service, especially about coiled  tubing technologies and accompanied operations. Information that is disseminated in the former  Soviet Union countries is particularly about regional developments of presentation nature or is just crumbs of experience of single companies, which remain to be “closed in themselves”. Information field of technologies development should not be limited with declaratory sources, company presentation at service market. We need technologies, ideas and innovations exchange of full value both in the area of development and installation. One needs to discuss the success of these ideas as well. Only few aspects of know-how and developments can be an individual index of a service company advances and only till a certain term.

 

We just need to understand that any invention can be know-how only for some time, after which it becomes a popular application with just few changes of form or performance. Ideas developers, companies, especially those who develop and apply new technologies must learn to understand till what moment there is a need to keep know-how in secret. One must not slow down the development of advanced technologies, which work for the good of the oilfield service community. Major companies of the industry can become leaders in advanced technologies introduction and at the same time good partners of other service companies. One needs to form a culture of information exchange. Coiled Tubing Times Journal, as well as the International Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference, play an important role in this process.
