How Does It Work?
Hydraulic Workover is a well intervention technique which can be used to install or remove tubular pipes in or out of dead wells. The term “dead well" means that the well has zero surface pressure and has a heavy fluid or mud in the wellbore, or is not capable of sustaining natural flow. The pipes are pulled out of the well using hydraulic cylinders.
Hydraulic Power
The HWO unit (Hydraulic Workover Unit) utilizes hydraulic cylinders to lift the tubular in or out of the well. The use of hydraulic cylinders allows perfect control over tubular movements and eliminates the use of a large mast construction which is present on conventional drilling rigs.
Hydraulic cylinders can generate large pull and push forces and give the HWO unit a small footprint and layout. These properties are especially beneficial for offshore operations where space is limited and where weather conditions can be harsh.
