Problem
Decommissioning millions of non‑productive wells and repurposing depleted wells for geothermal, CO₂ injection, or energy storage require heavy‑duty pipe interventions that are currently performed with large, cumbersome rigs or unsafe manual methods. Existing automated solutions are often oversized, have long set‑up times, and expose personnel to safety risks while consuming significant energy and generating emissions.
Solution
Terbron offers the Mighty Mantis, a compact hydraulic workover unit designed to perform pulling, pushing, rotary, and axial operations on wells with minimal footprint. The system is automated and can be operated remotely, eliminating the need for crew to work directly on the well and reducing exposure to hazardous conditions. Its low‑stack height, lightweight design, and on‑demand powerpack lower energy consumption, sound emissions, and environmental impact. Rapid rig‑up and modular components enable quick deployment and flexibility for a range of well interventions, supporting safe decommissioning and the conversion of existing wells to geothermal and other low‑carbon applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are oil and gas service companies, geothermal developers, and infrastructure firms that need safe, efficient well intervention solutions for decommissioning, repurposing, or maintenance of existing wells.
