    The coiled tubing string was a 2.375-in (60.3-mm) 100 grade used only in the Eagle Ford for milling fracture plugs and one fishing job. While pulling out of hole at the conclusion of the 11th job, the string broke between the goose neck and the reel.

    This paper reviews steps taken to mitigate coiled tubing string failures resulting from microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) in the Eagle Ford by initiating an effective water treatment process alongside the use of coiled tubing with bias weld in sour fatigue similar to base tube performance.
