A Primer of Oilwell Service, Workover, and Completion

Oil production is not over when the well is drilled. Crews trained in service, workover, and completion can help a well start and continue to produce at a favorable rate. This introductory training manual teaches the reader about these important steps in oil production. Topics include well completion, artificial lift, logging and testing a well, analyzing a well, service and workover equipment, well servicing and repair, fishing, sand cleanout, well stimulation, and additional recovery techniques. In this edition, more emphasis has been placed on completion, health, safety, and environmental concerns than in earlier editions of the book. Anyone who needs a fundamental overview of well servicing, workover, and completion will find this book helpful. An extensive glossary is included.
