reducing the oil's viscosity
Introduction to Workover
Operations
Workover operations are essential maintenance and repair procedures
performed on oil and gas wells to restore or improve their production
capabilities. These complex operations involve specialized equipment,
skilled personnel, and detailed planning to address a variety of
downhole issues.
3 Wellbore Interventions
The specific workover operations are carried out, which may include
perforating, stimulation, plugging, or other interventions to restore or
improve well productivity.
Optimising Workover Efficiency
Effective workover planning and execution is crucial for maximising
production and minimising downtime. Key strategies include optimising
rig selection, streamlining workflows, leveraging data analytics, and
implementing continuous improvement processes.
