The brief

More than 170 wells in the Balakhani and Sabunchu fields had stood idle for years. The joint venture picked the most promising and wanted one contractor for the servicing and workover, well kill and cement isolation.

How the work went

  • Three XJ650 rigs and three crews worked two shifts; a rig move from well to well took 5 hours on average.
  • Cement plugs and isolation jobs were done with our own cementing units.
  • Fluids from the wells went to our treatment pad by vacuum tanker.
  • The client got a daily report for each well and the test result after each job.

Result

146 wells worked over, 121 back in production; 318,000 man-hours without a lost-time injury.

The client’s words
The daily reports let us follow every well from the office and decide without driving out to the field.
