VIBRATION TECHNOLOGY WORKOVER
Any situation where the axial reciprocation of the pipe string or the application of large tensile, compressive, or percussive forces may be beneficial will respond favorably to the use of pipe vibration. The vibration process is applied from surface, generally without any downhole intervention, and often provides immediate results. Pipe vibration is transmitted by the free portion of the pipe string to the stuck interval that may be thousands of feet below surface. The results are quick release of the pipe from the restraining media. Rig-up time is usually less than an hour and initial results are often achieved in minutes.
