Dimple-On Stabbing Guide
The WellEnTech Dimple-On Stabbing Guide is a cost effective means of providing a tapered end profile to a Coiled Tubing string which can be easily fed through the coiled tubing injector. The robust one piece design is furnished with dimple on profiles for attaching to the coil and a milled slot to accommodate the coiled tubing bead, negating the need to ream out the bead before fitting. Available for all sizes of Coiled Tubing and wall thickness sizes.

Operation
The Dimple-On Stabbing Guide is fitted directly to the Coiled Tubing using either a manual or Hydraulic dimpling tool*. The Coiled Tubing is deformed into the dimples producing an extremely strong and durable connection. The dimples have been designed to reduce any stress raisers produced during the dimpling process. The Stabbing Connector has a tapered profile to facilitate the stabbing process. The Stabbing Guide is cut off of the Coiled Tubing after use.
* Dimple tools and Pressure/Pull Test Subs are available from WellEnTech
