Canadian Service Offerings
1. Snubbing
–
See slides 8 and 9
2. Underbalanced Workover Rig (UB 250k)
– Many multi-fracked horizontal well bores in excess of 5,000 meters cannot be completed
with coil tubing due to frictioning out. The UB 250k can be utilized to mill out bridge plugs in
excess of 6,000 meters requiring a single trip
– Many SAGD wells require some sort of pushing or pulling of the production string
– Potential new market for existing technology
3. Nitrogen
– Nitrogen is a non-hydrocarbon inert gas commonly used on the same wellbores as snubbing
– Common uses for nitrogen in the drilling process include:
•
coiled tubing cleanouts, frac cleanouts, wellbore pressure testing, vessel purging, hydrocarbon blanketing
Page 7
What is Snubbing?
•
Snubbing is the use of hydraulic force to push pipe against the snub force created by the well
pressure. The push force is required until the total tubing weight is greater than snub force excreted
on the tubing
•
The pushing capacity of the snubbing unit is also useful on long horizontal legs where the
gravitational weight of the pipe decreases as the horizontal length increases. This is due to
increased friction of metal on metal
•
Unlike coiled tubing – snubbing uses jointed tubing. The stronger jointed tubing allows the
snubbing unit to rotate the tubing/drill string, decreasing friction in wellbores and ultimately
reaching depths that coil cannot attain
•
Snubbing permits live operations without killing the well, saving on unnecessary services, mud
fluids, well stimulations and avoid formation damage bringing the well on stream much quicker
•
Required on multi stage frac completions and high pressure oil and liquids rich gas wells which are
fracked and completed under pressure
•
Snubbing units are multipurpose – completion strings, fishing, milling, sidetracking, composite
bridge plug drill outs, plug and abandonment and tool movement
Page 8
Where is Snubbing Required?
Producing Wells
• Allows work over operations on live wells without the use of damaging kill fluids
• Recompletion of aged wells. Snubbing is the most common method to install smaller
diameter tubing strings under pressure to increase the flowing velocity in depleted wellbores
New Drills
• Directional drilling and multi stage fracking creates demand for snubbing services in North
America because wells are completed in underbalanced conditions
• High pressure liquids rich wells (Montney, Horn River, Duvernay, etc) and many high pressure
oil wells (Duvernay, Bakken, Cardium) may also require snubbing
• Sensitive well formations – working in an underbalanced state. No formation damaging fluids
required
Abandonments
• Whenever pressure may be present, cost effective mobilization and rig ups
