Workover

Energy Term


Workover is a term used in the Energy Industry to describe the process of performing maintenance or repair work on an oil or gas well. It involves taking the well offline temporarily, so the necessary repairs can be carried out, which may include replacing equipment, modifying the well, or stimulating the recovery of hydrocarbons.

Workover operations are often necessary when a well has stopped producing, or its performance has declined, due to equipment damage or mechanical failure. Workover operations are also used to manage well pressure and fluids, enhance production, control sand or scale buildup, and implement new technologies.

The workover process begins with identifying the problem and developing a plan to remedy it. The workover rig and equipment are then brought to the well site, and the wellhead is secured. The next step involves gaining access to the wellbore to perform the necessary repairs and modifications. This is often done by pulling the tubing and other equipment from the well, or by using specialized tools.

Once the necessary work is completed, the well is tested to ensure that it is functioning properly. If the results are satisfactory, the well is placed back into production. Workover operations can be expensive and time-consuming, but they are an essential aspect of maintaining a productive oil or gas well, especially as the well ages or production becomes challenging.
