Hydraulic workover, snubbing, coiled tubing, and wireline for live-well operations up to 15k psi.
We also perform chemical stimulation, scale squeeze, acidizing, and asphaltene remediation, using custom chemical blends injected through coiled tubing or capillary strings.
Our intervention crews are trained in snubbing (pushing pipe into a live well under pressure), coiled tubing milling and cleanout, wireline logging and perforating, and through-tubing fishing. We also perform chemical stimulation — scale squeeze, acidizing, and asphaltene remediation — using custom chemical blends injected through coiled tubing or capillary strings.
Here are some frequently asked questions.
Killing a well with heavy fluid can damage formation permeability, delay cleanup for weeks, and permanently reduce production. Live-well intervention preserves reservoir pressure, eliminates kill fluid costs and disposal, and restores production within hours instead of days. Cooper Contractors performs live-well work as the default method unless well conditions require a kill.
Our HWO units and snubbing stacks are rated for working pressures up to 15,000 psi with appropriate BOP configuration. We have successfully performed interventions on wells with surface pressures exceeding 10,000 psi. Each job receives a pressure-specific engineering review before mobilization.
Standard mobilization for hydraulic workover or coiled tubing is 7–10 days from contract signature. Emergency interventions (sudden production loss, valve failure, or tubing leak) can mobilize within 48–72 hours depending on equipment availability and location.
