Snubbing Service
Snubbing refers to a workover operation, by which specialized equipment are utilized to operate on live wells. During snubbing operation, wellbore pressure can be maintained, and thus eliminate the necessity of well killing (washing) and pressure release. For oil wells, the greatest advantage of snubbing operation is that, original formation pressure is preserved, which effectively protects formation pressure, avoiding pollution to oil reservoir, reducing the times of acidification, fracturing and other well stimulation, and finally providing favorable conditions for long-term development and stable production of oil and gas fields. For high-pressure oil and gas wells, the process of stopping injection and bleeding off are not required prior to operations, which shortens construction duration, saves the costs of kill fluid required for conventional operations and accessary equipment, abates pollution and finally protects the environment.For shale gas wells, well killing is avoided, which can reduce the pollution to shale gas formation, and effectively prevent gas reservoir from over-killing and formation damage.
