Eight tie-rod cylinders, 96 hoses, and a workover rig that needed to be back on a well in 19 days.

ADNOC sub-contractor pulled a 50,000-lb hydraulic workover unit off a sour-gas well in the Rub’ al Khali. We rebuilt eight tie-rod cylinders, 96 hoses and four accumulators in our JAFZA yard — back skidding 23 days later.
