RoydadNaft –  The head of Well Repair, Completion and Technical Services at the National Iranian South Oilfields Company announced a significant increase in the activity of workover rigs and coiled tubing units during the first four months of this year, stating that these operations have played an effective role in sustaining and boosting oil production by reviving wells, resolving technical problems and restoring production capacity.

According to Roydad Naft, citing the National Iranian South Oilfields Company, Mehran Hassanvand said: “In the first four months of this year, workover rigs were deployed on eight wells. Compared with only one well in the same period last year, this represents a 700 percent increase in workover rig activity over this timeframe, and the rapid pace of these operations is expected to continue through the end of the year.”

He added that operations carried out with coiled tubing units also recorded an average growth of 50 percent in the first four months of this year compared with the same period last year. These operations were performed to resolve well problems, improve production conditions and return wells to the production cycle.

The head of Well Repair, Completion and Technical Services at the National Iranian South Oilfields Company noted that the management has made efforts to equip and recommission units that had been taken out of operational service in previous years. He added that these measures continued without interruption even under the country’s sensitive conditions and while the oil industry maintained its services during the Third Imposed War. As a result, workover rig 107 was overhauled and optimized, one coiled tubing unit was recommissioned, and E-line operations were launched using coiled tubing units.

Hassanvand emphasized that other activities of the surface and downhole workover units under the Well Repair and Completion Management of the National Iranian South Oilfields Company include increasing the capacity and capability of the coiled tubing fleet by deploying large-diameter tubing for complex operations at depths exceeding 3,000 meters, renovating and optimizing coiled tubing units, repairing and restarting production and wastewater wells, and securing wells.
