 Introduction

With the pass the time the activities of well

workover acquire each be important, is not equal
drill a well where the economic investment of the
project is biggest, where at the same time be
need approval of exploration and production
permits as well as environmental permits and the
complexity that means drill a well itself, that carry
out the workover of one.

No way I want that you interpret that the workover

operation is easy, no, this operation is complex
and a lot diverse, but however in cost is minor
Workover Rig Definition (Key Terms)

Workover Rig: Is a rig used to perform one or variety of

operations on a producing oil and/or gas well to try increase
production.

Tongs: Large wrenches used to make up or break out drill

pipe, casing, tubing or other pipe.

Tubing Job: Is the act of the pulling tubing out of and

running in back into well

Rod Job: Is the act pulling rods into and out of the wellbore.
Workover Rig Definition (Key Terms)

Workover: Solve internal damage in the process after a

certain period of useful life of the well or production, after
completion.

Rehabilitation: Improve production and/or injection capacity

Recompletion: Abandon a current deposit that has become

unproductive or has declined in useful life, completing the
well in another productive area that is more attractive than
the previous one.

Production to Injection: When the deposit enters a stage

of secondary recovery and it is required to give an energy
boost to the deposit.

Conventional Drilling Rig Hydraulic Drilling Rig

Transportable Drilling and Workover Rig

The workover rigs also are known as

services rigs, generally these rigs are self-
transportable
Workover Rig Definition (Basic)

Transportable Workover Rig:

 Have more uses

 Come in different sizes

 Can be used in Onshore and Onshore

Workover Rig Definition (Sizes)

 Up to 240 hp  Up to 365 hp  Up to 550 hp  Up to 1000 hp

 60 to 100 ft Tall  100 to 110 ft Tall  110 to 116 ft Tall  112 to 118 ft Tall
 3 Crew Members  3-4 Crew Members  4 Crew Members  5 Crew Members
What is the Objective in make a Workover

What are the stages of a well after of the drilling?

Completions
Primary Repair
Secondary Repair workover
Interventions and
Abandonment

What's the fundamental reason for doing a workover?

 Increase or restore hydrocarbon oil and gas production

 Decrease water production
 Repair mechanical failures

The workover operations is an activity that day for day

achieve more important inside of the oil and gas
recuperation.
Workover Process

 Ideally Robb's and Tubing would be perfectly straight

but they are not.

 Rod jobs and Chewing Jobs are both examples

ongoing well maintenance, both the rod and tubing
reached to the bottom of the well which could be
thousand of feet deep as the pump jack moves it lifts
the rod up on down anywhere from 5 to 25 feet

 This movement may cause wearing to the rods or the

tubing including broken or unscrewed rods and in
holes in the tubing

 Some jobs we use workover rig (Rod Jobs)
Description: Run rods out of the wellbore 3 rod at a time,
then run back in after maintenance or repair.

When are rod jobs needed?

 Pump breaks
 Rod string wears against side of tubing, and needs to be
replaced
 Connection failure between rods
 Some jobs we use workover rig (Tubing Jobs)
Description: Act of running tube into and out of a well for
replacement and maintenance.
Tubing Tools
When are tubing jobs needed?

 Hole in the tubing

 Need to move anchor (Weight used to hold tubing string
in place)
 When zones depletes, tubing is pulled out new
perforation, fracking or acidizing job.

Fishing Tools - Workover Rig - Well Services
The recovery operation for a stuck pipe, packers, and loose equipment in a well is generally termed fishing. Any
mechanical equipment run into a well, if operated under heavy stress, may fail sooner or later despite care of
manufacture, handling, and installation.

The stuck pipe in general represent a risk for the operation success, increase non-productive time (NPT) and
cost of the operation and the possibility of loss the well in some cases.

The fishing tools more common and used in the market are:
 Over-Shot  Wireline Spear  Flotation Collar Reamer Shoes
 Taper Tap and Die Collars  Junk Mills  Casing Scraper and
 Grapple Spear  Junk Sub  Casing Anchor
 Releasing Spear and Accessories  Washover Pipe and Accessories
 Reversing Spear  Mechanical Internal and External Cutter
 Cable Fishing Hook  Multi String Cutter
 Internal and External Hook  Section Mill
 Junk Basket  Bumper Sub
 Integral Blade Stabilizers  Impression Block
 Fishing Magnet  Under Reamer
