Our story
A vision made real
The original Well Tractor changed the entire game. When it was first introduced to the market, it enabled interventions that had never been possible before. The Well Tractor was unique because it facilitated the deployment of other tools into horizontal and highly deviated wells, without involving heavy or large amounts of equipment.
Instead, the Well Tractor is run on electric line that can be as short as 10 ft. Which means it can be transported by helicopter for extremely fast mobilization, significantly reducing the personnel and equipment footprint that is often required by heavier intervention means.
