Stripping

Condition for working tubing through an energized stripper, where wellbore pressure applied against the cross-sectional area of the tube creates an upward acting force less than the weight of the tubing in the wellbore. In this condition, mechanical assistance is required to support the tensile load of the tubing and maintain control when injecting or extracting. This condition is commonly called "pipe-heavy" operations.
