Snubbing is a method of installing or removing tubulars from a live well under pressure.

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, essentially preventing formation fluids/gases from entering the well bore.  “Kill” fluids can be detrimental in many ways.  They are expensive, many times toxic, and possibly unfavorable to the environment and can cause damage to certain types of formations.  This possible damage to formations can cause loss of performance in the well’s future production.  Snubbing enables the oil companies to perform many tasks on the well without introducing these “kill” fluids.

Rogue Pressure Services utilizes a combination of state-of-the-art snubbing equipment and highly trained and certified personnel to perform multiple tasks in almost any situation.  Our equipment is capable of performing rig assist operations as well as stand-alone operations.

Rig assist snubbing equipment is designed to work in conjunction with work-over or drilling rigs.  Stand- alone snubbing equipment, as the name implies, can perform all of the necessary work required without any conventional work-over or drilling rigs.  This provides a smaller footprint, less personnel on location and a more economical method of well operations for the oil companies.

Rogue Pressure Services also utilizes SARA units, which can perform both rig-assist as well as limited stand-alone work.  We also have 280K, 4-leg ram-to-ram stand-alone units, which are capable of most down-hole operations and are powerful enough to snub or pull tubulars throughout the complete well bore.

Rogue Pressure Services has a specific advantage over its competitors in that their senior supervisors have extensive knowledge and training in well control and intervention techniques.  Rogues management and senior supervisors are experienced in many different ways of installing and removing bottom-hole assemblies.  When we are included in the well design process, we can assist an oil company in designing complicated bottom-hole assembly installation and removal.

Rogue Pressure Services is proud to acknowledge that we are able to perform in various extreme weather conditions.  We are capable of working in cold weather conditions up to -40 degrees Fahrenheit and we can also perform all of our functions after dark with adequate lighting.
