Production improvement with electrical workover systems

Conference · · Proc. Annu. Southwest. Pet. Short Course; (United States)
OSTI ID:5001470

Practical workover systems are made of 3 interconnecting capabilities: (1) operational capacity, (2) diagnostic capacity, and (3) repair capacity. The resulting use of the systems, in many cases, can improve production for a well using only electric wire-line techniques. Operational safety and dependability are assured by improved cables, pressure-control equipment, and special derricks. Combining these operational facililties with diagnostic and repair capabilities today provides the industry with a complete electric workover system. These coordinated services are available and can be performed with a minimum of operator supervision. With this system, entire workover jobs can, in many cases, be performed without the need for killing the well or removing the production string--thus saving substantial cost. Operations which can be performed include: logging, placing of packer (through tubing type), perforating, etc.
