Product Application
Workover power tongs are essential tools in oil and gas well workover operations, primarily used for making up (tightening) and breaking out (loosening) threaded connections of various downhole tubulars. Their specific applications include:
Tubing Handling: Efficiently connecting or disconnecting production tubing during well repair, maintenance, or stimulation operations, ensuring secure seals to prevent fluid leakage.
Casing Operations: Assisting in the makeup and breakout of casing strings when performing remedial work on well casings, such as patching leaks or replacing damaged sections.
Sucker Rod Maintenance: Handling sucker rod connections in rod pumping systems, crucial for repairing or replacing rods during workover activities in artificial lift wells.
Drill Pipe and Drill Collar Handling: Supporting temporary drilling-related tasks during workover, such as tripping in/out drill pipes or drill collars when conducting wellbore cleaning or fishing operations.
Well Intervention Tasks: Facilitating quick and safe pipe connections during interventions like perforation, logging, or acidizing, where efficient tubular handling minimizes non-productive time.
