Applications – Where XJ Series Workover Specifications Are Applied
-
Workover and recompletion – pulling rods, tubing and pumps; fishing; scale removal; zone isolation – covering well depths from 1,000 m to 9,000 m.
-
Shallow to medium drilling – when equipped with a rotary table, XJ450, XJ550, XJ650 and XJ750 can handle drilling operations for medium and shallow wells, saving the cost of a separate drilling spread.
-
Fishing and milling – retrieve broken drill pipe, dropped tubing, bit cones and other downhole debris.
-
Oil testing and pump check operations – XJ250 and XJ350 are ideal for routine testing and pump maintenance.
-
Cluster well development – self‑propelled 10×8, 12×8, 14×8 or 14×10 carriers allow rapid moves between closely spaced wellheads – no crane, no separate transport.
-
Remote exploration – self‑propelled carriers access locations with poor roads and no crane support.
-
Arctic campaigns (-45 °C) – low‑temperature materials and heat preservation technology have been successfully deployed in Russia’s Orenburg field.
-
Desert development (55 °C+) – sand‑sealed components, oversized cooling and reinforced chassis for Middle Eastern operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Workover Specifications
Q1: What workover depths can your XJ series rigs reach for different pipe sizes?
A: Our XJ series covers the full depth spectrum with detailed ratings for each pipe size:
| Model | 2-7/8″ DP | 3-1/2″ DP | 4-1/2″ DP |
|---|---|---|---|
| XJ250 | 3,200 m | — | — |
| XJ350 | 3,200 m | 2,500 m | — |
| XJ450 | 4,500 m | 3,500 m | — |
| XJ550 | 5,800 m | 4,500 m | 3,600 m |
| XJ650 | 7,000 m | 5,500 m | 4,200 m |
| XJ750 | 8,000 m | 6,500 m | 5,000 m |
| XJ1000 | 8,000 m | 6,500 m | 5,000 m |
| XJ1200 | 9,000 m | 7,500 m | 6,000 m |
Maximum hook load ranges from 300 kN to 2,250 kN (67,440–505,800 lbs), with installed power from 235 HP to 1,300 HP.
Q2: Are your workover rigs API certified?
A: Yes. Our XJ series is designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with API Spec Q1, 4F, 7K, 8C and relevant standards including RP500, GB3826.1, GB3836.2 GB7258, SY5202 as well as "3C” compulsory standard. We are authorised to use API monogram on products under these specifications.
Q3: What is the difference between workover depth and servicing depth?
A: Workover depth is the maximum depth at which the rig can perform workover operations using drill pipe (typically 2-7/8″ DP). Servicing depth is the maximum depth at which the rig can perform well servicing operations using EUE tubing (typically 2-7/8″ EUE Tubing). For XJ650, workover depth is 7,000 m (2-7/8″ DP) and servicing depth is 8,500 m (2-7/8″ EUE tubing).
Q4: What is the maximum travel speed of XJ series workover rigs?
A: Maximum travel speed is 45 km/h (28 mph) for most XJ series rigs. The XJ250 is capable of up to 60 km/h, but field operations typically limit speed to 45 km/h for safety. The self‑propelled carrier eliminates the need for lowboy trailers and separate tractors.
Q5: Can your workover rigs be used for drilling operations?
A: Yes. XJ450, XJ550, XJ650, XJ750, XJ1000 and XJ1200 can perform drilling operations for medium and shallow wells when equipped with a rotary table, swivel and drilling tools. The XJ650 can serve as a 2‑in‑1 rig to perform both workover and drilling operation.
Q6: What is the lead time for an XJ series workover rig?
A: Standard lead times from order confirmation:
-
XJ250–XJ350 (standard configuration): 4–5 months
-
XJ450–XJ550 (standard configuration): 5–6 months
-
XJ650–XJ1200 (standard configuration): 6–8 months
-
Custom builds (arctic, desert, drilling package): 8–10 months
Expedited delivery may be available – contact our sales team.
Q7: Can your workover rigs operate in extreme cold (-45 °C) or extreme heat (55 °C+)?
A: Yes. We offer specialised packages for extreme environments:
-
Arctic package (-45 °C) – low‑temperature materials enable operation in temperatures as low as minus 45 degrees, with good cold and wind resistance. Three (3) ZJ40 truck‑mounted cold‑weather drilling rigs have been delivered to Orenburg Drilling Company in Russia, specially designed for arctic areas.
-
Desert package (55 °C+) – oversized cooling systems, sand‑sealed electrical enclosures, dust filtration, corrosion‑resistant coatings.
Q8: What is the warranty on a workover rig?
A: 12 months after commissioning or 18 months after shipment – whichever occurs first. The warranty covers manufacturing defects on all components (carrier, engine, transmission, drawworks, mast, hydraulic system). Wear parts are not covered but are available as spares. Extended warranty (up to 5 years) is available for an additional fee.
Q9: Do you provide operator training for workover rigs?
A: Yes. For every rig purchase, we include 1–2 weeks of on‑site training during commissioning, covering rig operation, maintenance, safety protocols, mast raising, and emergency procedures. Digital manuals, video tutorials and remote support are also provided.
