Workover to Chevron. At the time the company owned a single electric line unit.
The initial tests proved very successful. The company grew rapidly as
other clients, such as Shell, Mobil, Texaco and Elf adopted the
techniques for their marginal and mature oil and gas fields.
By the end of 1998, over 100 successful rigless workover jobs had been
performed in Nigeria.
