The revitalized China Chapter aims to become a critical hub for professional networking, knowledge exchange, and technological advancement in the well intervention and coiled tubing sector across the Asia-Pacific region. This strategic relaunch reflects ICoTA's dedication to supporting emerging markets and fostering global industry collaboration.
Key Objectives of the Renewed Chapter Include:
Providing a robust platform for Chinese and international professionals in well intervention technologies
Facilitating knowledge sharing and technical expertise across regional and international boundaries
Supporting local industry professionals through networking, training, and professional development opportunities
Promoting cutting-edge technological innovations in well intervention and coiled tubing operations
"Re-establishing the China chapter of ICoTA marks a pivotal moment, as we unite to harness the immense potential of well intervention services in one of the world's largest markets. Together, we will drive innovation and collaboration, ensuring a prosperous future for coiled tubing technology in China and beyond," said Steve Moir, Global Chair of ICoTA.
"The market for well intervention services in China is huge. In 2024, the number of coiled tubing operations is about 12,000 jobs. The CNPC Engineering Technology R&D Company and Jianghan Machinery Institute have taken the lead in establishing the Coiled Tubing Technical Committee of the China Petroleum Society, which plays a leading role in China. The combination of China and ICoTA will for sure greatly promote the development of the industry and expand ICoTA's influence," said Frank Kong from CNPC USA.
He continued, "From May 28 to 30, the CNPC Engineering Technology R&D Company and other organizations will host an International Symposium on Coiled Tubing Technology in Wuhan, China. During the event, renowned experts and scholars, and research institutions from both domestic and foreign universities will be invited to participate, with reports and academic discussions being held. Operators like PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and other major international and domestic service companies will be invited. This will be the largest academic event on coiled tubing held in China, and we warmly invite foreign companies and professionals to participate. Once again, we thank ICoTA for their support and trust! Let's move forward together!"
