What is swabbing?
Swabbing alleviates hydrostatic pressure of a wellbore caused by fluid level and weight of hydrocarbons in a string of tubing in a completed well.
Swabbing is to reduce wellbore pressure, by physically pulling fluid out of the production string. When wellbore pressure is reduced, this creates a kick, from the reservoir out to the wellbore, which allows reservoir pressure, fluids, and solids etc., a path of lesser resistance. Ridding this reservoir of these gas blocking materials increases your potential for optimizing gas and oil and water production. A clean wellbore provides bigger more powerful casing breaks, significantly increasing hydrocarbon lifting power. This lowers lifting costs. Deposits are created by fluid moving in and out of wellbore perforations, and over time if neglected, can cause a total loss of flow pressure differential. When this takes place, build up of these materials reduce total area of open perforations to flow thru. As a result, a loss of production occurs. Total area of open perforations and amount of solid inhibitors, such as scale, jip, sand, salt, etc. can be controlled by fluid recovery analysis, sample testing, chemical treatments, and swabbing these treatments back in a timely order. To reduce the chance for further zone damages, and eliminate the costs of pulling tubing, chemical treatment can be pumped down and swabbed back in 24 hours to successfully flush and clean seating nipple and break around point. This allows reservoir fluids to flow into well bore and up the production string, without having to prematurely install expensive external lifting devices, such as pumping units, to provide for a longer well life.

Swabbing Johns employees strive to provide quality, educated, and safe services to all customers. Every operator must show considerable aptitude, and an extreme willingness to safely complete his job in a timely manner. Swabbing John's employees attend a monthly safety meeting provided by safety coordinator, Preston Keck. Swabbing Johns employees are provided with family insurance, optional dental insurance, life insurance, Simple IRA, paid vacation, cellular communication, uniforms and all safety equipment.
Swabbing Johns has eight swabbing units that were built and are maintained by Crown Energy Technologies, Div of Stewart and Stevenson, and National Oilwell Varco. Rig Motors and transmissions are built and maintained by United Engines. Rig Operators are responsible for the regular maintenance and troubleshooting of rig operating systems and upkeep of maintenance logs. All of our swabbing units are vigorously maintained with top of the line materials and equipment so our operators can provide safe and quality work with minimal breakdowns. Contact a tool pusher for any information.
