IADC – WELLSHARP WELL SERVICING SNUBBING
Description
Snubbing is well intervention operation performed on oil and gas wells. It involves running pipe in or out of a hole under pressure using a hydraulic workover rig. It is only used for the most demanding of operations when lighter intervention techniques do not offer the strength and durability. It is also called hydraulic workover, and it can also be performed without removing the Christmas tree from the wellhead.
