Workover Rig, Wireline & Oilfield Parts
In the oil industry, small parts on a workover rig play a crucial role in the safety, efficiency, and productivity of well servicing and maintenance. In addition, a workover rig is used to perform maintenance and intervention work on oil and gas wells. This is done to maximize production, including tasks such as cleaning, repairing, and replacing downhole equipment. Despite their size, small components on these rigs are essential to operations. One such part designed by Hess Services is listed below.
Air Seal for Franks Workover Rigs
Hess Services has engineered a modern Air Seal specifically designed for Franks 33, 44, 65, and 658 workover rigs equipped with either Twin Disc or Dodge clutches.
