Apparatus to connect cables inside coiled tubing and connect coiled tubing

A method of connecting coiled tubing sections, comprising:

• connecting sections of coiled tubing by connecting female tubing crossovers between sections of the coiled tubing, each section of coiled tubing including a section of electrical cable extending therethrough and attached at each end to an electrical male wet stab connector (“male connector”) and each female tubing crossover including electrical female wet stab connectors (“female connectors”) at each end;
• establishing a continuous electrical connection between the sections of the electrical cable by connecting the male connectors of the sections of coiled tubing to the female connectors of the female tubing crossovers;
• and
• establishing a continuous fluid pathway between the sections of coiled tubing by establishing fluid communication between fluid pathways in the sections of coiled tubing, the male connectors, and the female tubing crossovers.

A drilling system, comprising:

• sections of coiled tubing, each section including a tubing internal bore, a section of electrical cable extending within the tubing internal bore and attached at each end to an electrical male wet stab connector (“male connector”), each male connector comprising an anchor comprising a male fluid pathway in fluid communication with the tubing internal bore and configured to secure the electrical cable such that the electrical cable is isolated from the male fluid pathway;
• a female tubing crossover configured to connect two of the sections of coiled tubing, comprising:
• a female fluid pathway;
• and
• electrical female wet stab connectors (“female connectors”) at each end, each configured to receive a respective male connector to establish an electrical connection with the electrical cable that is isolated from the female fluid pathway, wherein the female connectors are electrically connected,
• wherein each respective male fluid pathway and the female fluid pathway are in fluid communication when the female tubing crossover is connecting two sections of the coiled tubing to provide fluid communication between the sections of coiled tubing;
• and
• a bottom hole assembly (“BHA”) comprising a BHA connector.
