TO MOST LONGTIME OIL AND GAS PROFESSIONALS, THE WORD “SNUBBING” MEANS TROUBLE.
BUT, THESE DAYS, SNUBBING UNITS HAVE EVOLVED INTO ONE OF THE MOST:
-CAPABLE
-SAFE
-EFFICIENT
WELL SERVICING TOOLS IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.
WITH OFFICES IN RED DEER AND GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA, GOLIATH SNUBBING IS A LEADING PROVIDER OF SNUBBING SERVICES TO THE CANADIAN OIL PATCH.
THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED IN 2008 BY FORMER SNUBBING HANDS GARRETT RADCHENKO AND TREVOR SOPRACOLLE.
Trevor and I each worked our way through the ranks of a large Canadian snubbing company & essentially got to the highest field levels that we could achieve. We saw an ever growing need for more competition in the snubbing industry & set out to create our own company Goliath Snubbing. I’m happy to say that we’ve never looked back.
TYPICALLY, AN OIL COMPANY MUST “KILL” A WELL IN ORDER TO PERFORM OPERATIONS ON THE WELL.
“KILLING” A WELL REQUIRES THE PUMPING OF FLUIDS INTO THE WELL BORE.
“KILL” FLUIDS ARE EXPENSIVE, COMMONLY UNFAVORABLE TO THE ENVIRONMENT, AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO CERTAIN TYPES OF FORMATIONS.
THIS CAN LEAD TO PERFORMANCE LOSS IN THE WELL’S FUTURE PRODUCTION.
SNUBBING ENABLES OIL COMPANIES TO PERFORM MANY TASKS ON THE WELL, WITHOUT INTRODUCING “KILL” FLUIDS.
Snubbing was an uncommon practice years ago when a well could not be killed. Today however, it's common to workover wells with pressure with the right people & the proper equipment snubbing is very popular in the completion & the workovers.
GOLIATH’S SPECIALIZED SNUBBING TEAMS HELP TO MEET PRODUCTION GOALS ON TIME AND ON BUDGET.
Snubbing is the act of hydraulically forcing pipe into the wellbore, we work on high-pressure wells, wells where you can't kill the well, wells where heavy kill fluids will damage the wellbore & also mostly because we are more efficient.
“PUSHING” PIPE INTO A WELLBORE RATHER THAN “KILLING” THE WELL WITH FLUID OFFERS OIL AND GAS COMPANIES MANY ADVANTAGES.
What sets us apart from our competitors is not only our equipment, it's all very similar across the industry as we all imitate and duplicate technology once proven, that's how we perfect it. It's our people that allow us to operate at such a high utilization rate. We've been fortunate enough to acquire & retain a staff of highly trained personnel with the support & knowledge to safely & efficiently complete any snubbing operations that our customers can throw at us.
GOLIATH’S FLEET CONSISTS OF 3 UNITS OPERATED BY 15 GOVERNMENT TRAINED AND CERTIFIED PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE OVER 150 YEARS OF COMBINED SNUBBING EXPERIENCE.
The benefits of snubbing is you don't have to:
-haul
-recover
-dispose
of the kill fluid being used but the biggest thing would probably be the formation not fully recovering after you kill the well. If the fluid wrecks the formation, this will result in loss of production for the oil company.
GOLIATH PROVIDES SNUBBING SERVICES TO OPERATORS AROUND THE WORLD.
I've used Goliath for wells snubbing out gas-lift mandrel strings 3.5 over 21 MPA. Used them to punch in slick strings, used them for fishing operations. Their safety culture & equipment reliability has been second to none as far as I'm concerned.
GOLIATH ENSURES ALL OF ITS JOBS ARE PERFORMED EFFICIENTLY AND TO THE STRICTEST REGULATORY STANDARDS.
Goliath safety record is second to none primarily because of the management commitment & the qualified staff that they work on their units. We're proud to say that their journeymen & apprentices on every unit out there that they are all qualified & ready to work safely, we're extremely proud of that.
