450HP Workover Rig (XJ450)

The XJ450's place in the lineup is defined by its hoisting train: a 1125kN hook rating on a 4×5 traveling system with Φ26mm drill line, backed by a mast that cleans 32m and holds 1200kN static. Power comes from a CAT C15 rated at 540 bhp driving through an Allison M5620AR gearbox, with the drawworks good for 450rpm on the fast line and 180kN pull on the second floor. Within that envelope the rig works 5500m of 73mm tubing or 4500m of 73mm drill pipe, the deep-repair, casing and fishing programs that sit above the 350HP class. The 12×8 all-terrain carrier carries the whole package, mast, drawworks, ZP175 rotary table and floor, as one load, so cluster wells are serviced by driving between sites instead of rebuilding the spread.

Core advantages

Designed around the operating requirement.

CAT C15 at 540 bhp, Allison M5620AR Behind It

The engine is a CAT C15 tuned to 540 bhp for workover duty: high low-end torque for the moment the 4×5 block takes the string, and a reserve that keeps drum speed from sagging when the drawworks pulls 180kN on the second floor. The Allison M5620AR gearbox matches engine output to drum speed without clutch-shift interruptions, which is what keeps the 450rpm fast-line rating usable in continuous tripping.

1125kN Hook, 4×5 Traveling, Φ26mm Line

The traveling system strings the load over four lines per side, and the 26mm drill line keeps line tension inside the drawworks rating at full hook load. Maximum hook loading sits at 1125kN against a mast static rating of 1200kN, so casing strings and stuck-pipe jarring are carried without leaning on the mast's reserve.

12×8 All-Terrain Carrier for One-Load Moves

On the 12×8 chassis the mast, drawworks, rotary table and floor travel as a single unit. That removes the auxiliary trailer spread from the move plan and lets one rig service a dispersed cluster by road, including the mountain and mud-season tracks where split loads would need escorts.

ZP175 Rotary Table and the 5500m Working Envelope

The ZP175 rotary table and the drawworks' 450rpm fast-line speed set the tripping and rotating capability for the 73mm tubing to 5500m and 73mm drill pipe to 4500m envelope. Drilling-floor heights of 3.5m, 4m or 4.5m are selectable so the table lines up with the BOP stack and cellar of the target wells.

Fleet-Standard Consumables and Field Service

The C15, the M5620AR and the standard 26mm wire line and 4×5 sheave geometry are common items in the oilfield parts market, which keeps consumable cost and lead time predictable. Maintenance documentation and spare lists follow the same catalog as the rest of the ZYT workover fleet, so a customer running multiple XJ rigs stocks one parts set.

Climate and Terrain Treatment as Standard

The build treats plateaus, deserts and mud-season fields as the default rather than an option: sand and corrosion protection on the carrier and mast, engine-block heating for cold starts, and a dust-sealed hydraulic system. The same standard build covers -30℃ plateau sites and 55℃ desert fields without climate-option rework.

Application

Where this equipment is used.

  • Routine and heavy workover on 73 mm tubing to 5500 m and 73 mm drill pipe to 4500 m, where the 1125 kN hook and 32 m mast set the service envelope.
  • Casing repair, tubing replacement and stuck-pipe fishing on medium-deep wells, using the 4×5, Φ26 mm hoist and 180 kN fast-line pull.
  • Well completion and renovation programmes where the ZP175 rotary table and 3.5–4.5 m floor options match the casing and handling gear.
  • Cluster campaigns on hilly or remote blocks: the 12×8 all-terrain chassis moves the rig between wells without a separate heavy-haul unit.
  • High-angle and deviated well intervention where the CAT C15 / Allison M5620AR drivetrain holds trip speed through repeated runs.

Configuration

Options for a matched equipment scope.

Available configurations can be matched to the equipment model, operating conditions and project requirements.

  • Hook and hoist margin: set the 1125 kN hook rating, 4×5 line arrangement and mast static load against the heaviest planned string.
  • Floor and rotary: choose the 3.5 m, 4 m or 4.5 m floor height and ZP175 table against the BOP stack and casing programme.
  • Drive and transmission: confirm the CAT C15 / Allison M5620AR package and any regional emission or safety requirements.
  • Well-control fit: mast clearance and floor layout checked against the BOP height and handling equipment for the region.
  • Documentation and training: manuals, factory test report, first-period spares included; commissioning and operator training arranged on request.
Buyer questions

Frequently asked about this equipment.

Questions about the XJ450 cover its 5,500 m tubing envelope, 1,125 kN hook and 12×8 one-load moves.

What core upgrades does the 450HP XJ450 rig have compared with the 350HP model?

The XJ450 is not a 350HP rig with more paint: the engine steps to a CAT C15 at 540 bhp, the hook rating rises to 1125kN on a 4×5 system with Φ26mm line, and the mast's 1200kN static capacity supports 5500m of 73mm tubing workover against roughly 2400m-class duty for the smaller model. The other structural change is the 12×8 chassis, which carries the full spread as one road load.

Can the XJ450 rig adapt to ultra-complex terrain relocation?

The 12×8 all-terrain carrier handles the move itself: with the mast laid and outriggers stowed, the rig drives between wells as one unit and the ZP175 rotary, floor and drawworks stay rigged for the next site, so no auxiliary hoisting or separate rig-up crew is needed for routine relocation.

What is the standard working depth of the XJ450 workover rig?

Depth rating is string-dependent: 5500m with 73mm tubing, or 4500m with 73mm drill pipe, inside the 1125kN hook and 1200kN mast limits. If the operator's program needs a different envelope, the mast height, floor height and hoisting parameters are adjusted at order time and the change is documented in the factory test report.

When does this rig step up from the class below it?

The XJ450 is the step-up when the 650 kN class cannot hold the program: the 1125 kN hook on the 4×5 reeve, paired with the CAT C15 at 540 bhp, holds the 5500 m on 73 mm tubing and the 4500 m on drill-pipe envelope without derating. The work it carries on top of ordinary workover — heavy casing pulls, long-stroke fishing, and trips on large tubing — is work the 350 HP class starts to lose cycle time on, not because it cannot lift, but because the hook and the hoist margins thin out. State the heaviest expected pull and the longest planned string at order time; the mast height, floor opening and drawworks ratio are matched to that envelope.

What after-sales services are provided for the XJ450 rig?

Every unit ships with installation drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, and a first-period recommended spare list; remote technical guidance is free for the life of the rig. Because the C15/M5620AR drivetrain and 4×5 traveling geometry are standard across the XJ fleet, spare supply follows one parts catalog. On-site commissioning and operator training are available for the initial deployment.
