SNUBBING / HYDRAULIC WORKOVER |
|
| IPS specialists are experts at Hydraulic Workover and Live Well Snubbing operations; with extensive experience employing the latest technology to deliver reliable Workover and Completion results. Our specialists also use hot-tapping, valve-drilling and freeze equipment to meet each client's unique needs. |
| Snubbing and Hydraulic Workover are versatile and cost-effective alternatives to other completion and workover systems. These applications can be used both onshore and offshore and eliminate the need for kills fluids which, in turn, reduce formation damage. The IPS team incorporates engineering expertise and operational knowledge in the design and implementation of every job to ensure production enhancement objectives are met. |
| In addition to eliminating the need for kill fluids, other benefits of "live-well" operations include: |
- Ability to conduct operations under pressure
- Designed to work with pressures from 0 psi to over 15,000 psi
- Small footprint on location
- Fast rig-up and rig-down
- Ability to rotate tubulars

| Creating Customer Value |
| Customer Challenge |
| Our customer had a well with two reservoir zones. The upper zone of well had flowed for two years, resulting in BHP at 4,200 psi. The lower zone below a composite bride plug had virgin BHP of 11,500 psi. The customer needed to safely and efficiently remove the bridge plug and came to IPS for a solution. |
| IPS Solution |
| IPS Engineers analyzed the well conditions and determined snubbing unit was the appropriate solution to drill out bridge plug. They also recommending using the IPS Green Flowback Process to sell gas while tripping pipe and drilling the bridge plug. During the tripping operation - gas produced at 2mmscf/day,
during the drilling operation - gas produced at 5 mmscf/day. |
| Customer Value: |
| The composite bridge plug was safely and efficiently removed from the well |
| The well was not shut in or loaded with fluids |
| No formation damage was incurred |
| The customer sold gas through entire process |
| 23 mmscf of gas was sold during the process - not flared or vented |
