Our primary rig services assist in prolonging the productive life of an oil and/or gas well.

Our primary rig services assist in prolonging the productive life of an oil and/or gas well. We help maintain the mechanical apparatuses used to lift oil and natural gas from subsurface geologic formations to surface accumulation and distribution systems. Such services include the removal and replacement of rods and tubular goods as well as the down hole lift devises installed in most wells and are commonly referred to as "Rod and Tubing" services.

In addition to periodic maintenance, producing oil and natural gas wells occasionally require major repairs and modifications called "Workovers." Workovers may be done to remedy equipment failures, deepen a well in order to complete a new producing reservoir, clean out and recomplete a well if production has declined, repair leaks, or convert a producing well to an injector for secondary or enhanced recovery projects.

At the end of the life cycle, we provide a full range of services required to seal off old producing formations and to extract any remaining usable hardware from the well. These services are commonly referred to as "Plug and Abandonment" services.
