Mechanics of Hydraulic Workover

The Rotary and Traveling Slips can work simultaneously. y Cudds Hydraulic Rig Assist Unit has a passive rotary - requires PDM or power swivel for rotational requirements i t

Mechanics of Hydraulic Workover

Stationary and Traveling Slips are both engaged at beginning of snubbing stroke.

Mechanics of Hydraulic Workover

Stationary Slips are disengaged With Traveling Slips engaged, the hydraulic cylinders are extended retracted - lowering the tubing - and completing the stroke.

Mechanics of Hydraulic Workover

At completion of downward stroke, the stationary slips are engaged engaged. The Traveling Slips are disengaged, then the hydraulic cylinders are extended to make the next stroke.

Mechanics of Hydraulic Workover

Process is repeated as the tubing is snubbed through the BOP Stripper rams or annular

Ram to Ram HWO Procedures

STEP1: With tree valve open, BHA is lowered through snubbing stack All BOP rams are open. PV#1, PV#4, PV#7, PV#8 are closed

BOP #2 Stripper rams are closed around tubing above BHA

Tubing is snubbed until tool joint/connection is between BOP #1 rams and BOP#2 rams

Ram to Ram HWO Procedures

STEP 2: Close BOP#1 stripper rams STEP 3: Open Hydraulic PV#1 STEP 4: Allow pressure under BOP #2 stripper rams to equalize below BOP#1 stripper rams

Ram to Ram HWO Procedures

STEP 5:Open BOP#2 stripper rams pp STEP 6: Snub tubing into the well bore until tool joint/ connection is below BOP #2 stripper rams STEP 7: Close PV#1

11

Ram to Ram HWO Procedures

STEP 8:Close BOP#2 stripper rams pp STEP 9: Open PV#4 and allow pressure between Bop#1 ans BOP#2 stripper rams to bleed off STEP 10: Allow pressure to bleed to -0- between stripper rams

Ram to Ram HWO Procedures

STEP 11:Open BOP#1 stripper rams STEP 12: Close PV#4 STEP 13: Again, tubing is snubbed until joint/ connection is between BOP#1 and BOP#2 stripper rams REPEAT THE PROCESS
