Services

Farm Boys is a 24-hour a day 7 days a week operation. We offer a variety of services: swabbing, dewax/slickline, rod rigs and hot oilers.
Swab Rigs Fort St John
Flush-by / Rod Rig Services

Our Rod Services are the most efficient tool to work on pumping oil wells. Our rigs are strictly designed for rod and pump removal I installation only. They are engineered to be a very quick rig up and perform the job safely and efficiently and minimize production downtime. Our fleet consists of 2 styles of rigs:

  1. Flush-by rig: A stand-alone rig where the pump and tank are on the rig carrier and hangs double rods.
  2. Rod rig: A 2-truck combination, a stand-alone rig that hangs double rods and a separate hot oiler/ pump truck.

All rigs are equipped with a doghouse and all the tools needed to work on any pumping wells. The benefit of our rigs is the efficiency of mobilizing, rigging in and removing and installing pump and rods vs a service rig.

Swab Rigs Grande Prairie
Swabbing Services
Swabbing is the removal and recovery of wellbore fluids to initiate the well to flow. Fluids in the wellbore restricts or shuts off flow. With swabbing liquids are pulled to surface and recovered into our portable pressure tanks or facilities until the well begins to flow on its own. Once flow is stabilized it is turned over to operations. Swabbing can be done on oil and gas wells types. Our swab rigs carry 7500m of braided dyform line with the ability to swab wells under pressure or we have the ability to pull a ptank or pressure vessel to swab into for fluid recovery.

Dewax / Slickline Services
Wax is a byproduct of oil that when at a certain temperature the oil turns from a liquid to a solid. Wax build up production tubing will restrict and then completely enable flow. Our rigs are the same looking style as our swab rigs but with slickline installed on the draworks. This gives us the ability to work under high pressure. Also to support the dewax rigs we can pull a ptank or pressure vessel to completely remove the wax from the well and not introduce the wax into the facilities. With slickline on the drum we can perform a wide range of downhole slickline jobs (plunger, bumper spring, etc.) All rigs come complete with a large volume of down hole tools.
Hot Oiler Services
Wax is a byproduct of oil that when at a certain temperature the oil turns from a liquid to a solid. Wax build up creates many problems either downhole or above ground in all facility equipment/pipelines. One of the best ways to remove wax is to pump a hot liquid through and past the wax causing it to change back into a liquid. We heat a wide arrange of products with our 5k and 10k pumpers and 5 million Btu burners. Our fleet consists of Tri axle trucks and pull a quad wagon to haul a large volume of fluid required to perform the job.
