Importance of Swabbing Tools

Swabbing is the process of entering the production zones of wells and removing accumulated fracking fluids as it relates to the oil and gas industry. Drilling companies utilize this technique for well control to let go of the well's bottom hole pressure so they may "kick" it off. Our Oilfield swabbing team in Grande Prairie will help you with all this and much more.

What Are Swabbing and Surging?
In drilling, pressure fluctuations in the annulus brought on by pipe movement are referred to as "surging" or "swabbing" pressures. Drill pipe and drilling mud come into contact when the drill pipe trips out, causing friction. Due to the surge effect, the pressure in the well drops. On the other hand, while the pipe is tripping in, the downward motion increases pressure. The swab effect causes this.
Surge pressures are pressure variations, and they are typically thought of as being added to the hydrostatic pressure.

What are some of the Swab Tools?

It would help if you had good swabbing tools to get the work done smoothly. Make sure you choose Oilfield swabbing service in Grande Prairie with professional tools like:

Swab Mandrels

Swab mandrels remove heavy fluid that has diminished or ceased flowing naturally in wellbores. The fluid used during the completion or fracturing process is also recovered using swab mandrels.

Rope Socket

The braided wire line and the swab string are connected by swivel rope-socket assembly. The swivel part reduces the twisting or turning of the adjacent swab instruments while allowing the wireline to twist as it lengthens when loaded. The Oil States swivel rope sockets have fishing neck grooves on both the upper neck and lower half.
Hydraulic Hand pumps

In addition to helping with other low- and high-pressure testing tasks, portable hydraulic hand pumps are ideal for oilfield tasks like checking valves and sealing.

These lightweight hydraulic pumps are tiny enough for your staff to carry to far-off testing locations through Manholes and other tight spots.

Oil Saver

Oil Saver Rubbers are created from specifically developed rubber compounds resistant to wear and tear, durable, and long-lasting. We manufacture Oil Savers that are compatible.

Removing oil and other fluids from the wireline and allowing them to re-enter the well helps avoid well-site contamination. At Oilfield swabbing services in Grande Prairie, AB, savers are offered in various colors, including red, green, and blue. They are made of materials with a 45° to 60° Shore hardness range.
