Workover services aim to increase production or repair existing wells. These equipment
they are used to seal depleted areas in existing wells, open new producing areas to increase the
production or activate producing areas through fracturing or acidification processes. They are used
also to convert producing wells into injection wells through which water is pumped or
carbon dioxide for formation, to increase the production of the field. Other workover services
they include significant repairs in the subsoil, such as repairs to the casing pipe
or the replacement of well bottom equipment that has suffered deterioration.
Workover rigs are used in the well completion process, which is the preparation of a well.
recently drilled oil or natural gas to put it into production.
Classification of the Teams of Workover
. Conventional
. Auto-transportable
The difference is that conventional ones have greater capacity and can perform workover jobs.
in deep wells. The self-transportable equipment has a set of winches–motors of
C.I. mounted on a trailer. The self-transportable equipment is easier to move to another location.
Parts of the Workover Equipment
Its components are very similar to the parts of a drilling rig for wells:
Sistema de levantamiento.
Circulatory system.
2. Sistema de rotación.
3. Power source.
4. Well control system.
Lifting System
Structure or Tower and Substructure, traveling block, crown block, hook, cable, winch and
Accessories, lifts, wedges, torque wrenches, instrument control console, auxiliary winches,
ramp, etc.
2. Circulation System
Tanks, circulation fluid, main and auxiliary pumps, vertical tube (stand pipe), hose of
circulation, flow or return line (Flor Line), solid control equipment, settling pits,
degasifiers and gas separators.
3. Rotation System
Rotary table and accessories, drill pipe, drill collar, heavy weight pipe, drill bit,
kelly and accessories, swivel.
4. Power System
Primary engines, generators, power transmission.
Engines primaries
They are generally internal combustion engines, with the most commonly used fuel being Diesel.
They can be directly coupled with the equipment or coupled to generators responsible for supplying.
electric power.
Generators
They change the mechanical power developed by the primary engines into electrical current and
they are generally alternating current.
Transmission of Power
The power generated by the primary engines must be transmitted to the equipment to provide it with the
movement. If the Equipment is Mechanical, this power is transmitted directly from the primary motor to
equipment. If the equipment is Electric, the mechanical power of the motor is converted into electrical power with
the generators, then, this electrical power is transmitted to the electric motors coupled to the equipment,
achieving its movement.
5. Well Control System
Blowout Preventers (BOPs), annular or spherical, pipe rams or pipe rams blind
Rams), Shear Rams (Arietes o Rams de Cizalla), Pressure Accumulator Unit, Manifold of

Pulling teams
They are intended for the removal of downhole equipment, such as production tubing.
rods or pumps and their replacement when necessary. Pulling services are also used for
fix tools at the bottom of the well and for other light tasks.
Coiled Tubing Drilling
At San Antonio Internacional, we have Coiled Tubing Drilling equipment operated
for a highly skilled workforce to carry out drilling and
terminations in wells of up to 1200 m and with reduced diameters.
Our teams enable the targeting of a range of shallow and marginal wells that is not

conventional, as it introduces time-saving in assembly and disassembly, savings of
transport and less cementing volume, and reduction of personnel for handling
pipes
This represents an additional development of reserves that will contribute to value creation.
for the operating companies, in addition to the increase in activity that will benefit the
services associated with well construction.
Slickline
SlickLine (Steel Line Operations) is a service provided to companies.
oil field operators. Basically, these two words encompass a wide
range of activities, commonly referred to as "interventions", within oil wells.
Fundamentally, the work involves introducing tools and/or devices into the wells.
petroleum workers through a specially designed wire to withstand high pressures,
temperatures and stresses (both tension and torsion).
The diameter of the wire can vary from 0.092" to 0.125", using each type according to
the client's requirements or the type of operation to be performed. While the equipment (Units of
steel line) only has a drum or wire reel.
Initially, the Slick Line was simply used to check the bottom of the well. Without
embargo, nowadays thanks to new technologies it is possible to take pressure measurements and
temperature in the well, check the dimensions of the tubing, detect deposits of trash or sand
and remove it from the well, and a wide range of tools and devices can be placed,
removed or manipulated thanks to the Slick Line.
In order to carry out these operations, a pressure control system must be available.
superficial composed of the following elements:
Stuffing Box.
Lubricators. (lub)
Purge or Relief Valve.
B.O.P. (preventor)
Flange.
Various clamps.
- Pulleys.
Tension Indicator.
Among the jobs that can be done are fishing, calibrations, records, etc.
