What is a workover service rig?

Workover service rigs are specialized pieces of equipment used in the oil and gas industry to maintain, repair, or enhance the productivity of existing oil or gas wells. These rigs are typically used for tasks such as replacing tubing, cleaning out wells, performing completions, or repairing well components. Workover rigs are usually smaller and more mobile than drilling rigs, allowing them to access wells that need intervention after initial drilling. Their main goal is to ensure wells remain safe, efficient, and productive throughout their operational lifespan.
