Snubbers

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003480

Specialized hydraulic workover units designed to run or retrieve tubulars into or out of a live well under pressure, without killing the well. They use hydraulic rams to grip and push or pull the pipe against wellbore pressure. Snubbing operations are complex and require precise control to maintain well integrity and prevent blowouts.
