Ukrnafta has built platforms for well workovers on its own

PJSC Ukrnafta has designed and built platforms with removable base supports for well workovers on its own.

“The maximum load on the rotor table that the platform can withstand is 60 tons, which is enough to accommodate all the necessary equipment, even with a reserve,” the company said in a press release on Thursday.

The design allows for comfortable and safe working conditions for employees and reduces the cost of hoisting operations during repairs.

According to the company, the order for the Ukrnafta Drilling well workover and underground repair shop was made at the production base of Ukrnafta’s Oilfield Service Department (OPSD) in Dolyna, Ivano-Frankivsk region.

“The design took into account all the technical and technological requirements, as well as the specifics of use – both in well conditions and during transportation,” the company said.

The teams at the production base in Dolyna have been working on the project for several months.

Currently, two workover platforms have already been manufactured, and plans for this year include the manufacture of two more similar platforms for current well workovers.
