Talk:Snubbing

"Unlike coiled tubing or wireline, where the wire or tubing is always the same diameter allowing for a single unmoving primary barrier (stuffing box or stripper), snubbing uses a pipe, which will have an enlarged collar at the connection between the joints."

-- This is not always true, if you run VAM tubing it is fully smooth bore. The baker Tech Facts book can be cited as a reference.

You can also strip on a hydril, or annular preventer, which does not require you to go ram to ram.

there is also a "spacesaver" unit, which can be used to snub pipe till its heavy then the pulling unit or workover rig takes over.

Needs some tidying up for non-technical audiences
1) Introduction section has too much jargon. The best example of this is "It involves running the BHA on a pipe string using a hydraulic workover rig," whereby I don't understand any of the nouns there! Though the links are useful.

2) Needs a disambiguation up top; if you shove Snubbing in the Search box this is what you get. It should probably redirect to Snub or Snub (disambiguation).

(I would attach some template thingy about 'needs tidying up' but I don't know much about Wikipedia) 222.154.227.183 (talk) 00:58, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
