Thru tubing services are well interventions performed through existing production tubing without pulling it or running a full workover. Using coiled tubing or wireline, operations such as milling, cleanouts, fishing, and plug retrieval are carried out through the tubing. This minimizes downtime, reduces cost, and improves safety. Tejas provides thru tubing intervention from its Midland, Texas base across the Permian, Haynesville, Anadarko, and Eagle Ford Basins.
Thru Tubing Midland — Precision Intervention for Enhanced Well Performance
Thru tubing services let operators run well interventions through existing production tubing, without pulling the completion for a full workover. Working through the tubing, crews perform coiled tubing drillouts, wellbore cleanouts, milling, and plug and debris retrieval while the well stays largely intact. For Midland and Permian Basin operators running long horizontal laterals, that means less downtime, controlled costs, and a safer, more predictable path back to full production.
Tejas Completion Services: A Dedicated Thru Tubing Partner in Midland
Based in Midland, Texas, Tejas Completion Services delivers thru tubing and coiled tubing intervention built around dedicated assets and specialized crews. We support operators across the Permian Basin and extend services into New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. More than 50 years of combined oilfield experience back every job, and every job runs on the same standard: consistent execution, clear communication at each stage, and performance you can plan around.
Leadership Shaped by the Industry's Largest Operators
Our leadership team built its expertise inside the largest service companies in the thru tubing space, running drillouts, cleanouts, and fishing operations on demanding horizontal wells across every major basin. The standards, procedures, and discipline that govern large-scale intervention work are built into how we run each job today.
We've carried that knowledge directly to our crews. Every member of the Tejas team is trained by leadership who have performed these operations at scale, so the experience at the wellhead reflects decades of hands-on intervention work and the predictable performance operators expect from the names that defined this industry.

Frequently asked questions
Tejas Completion Services provides thru tubing and coiled tubing intervention out of Midland, Texas, at 4918 E County Rd 135. The company operates primarily in the Permian Basin and extends across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Dedicated coiled tubing assets are staged regionally so operators in the Midland and Odessa area get fast response.
Plug millout, also called drillout, is the process of milling out composite or dissolvable frac plugs after a well is fractured so the wellbore is clear for production. Yes, Tejas performs plug millout using coiled tubing as a core thru tubing service. Removing plug debris restores full flow and is one of the most common completion interventions in the Permian Basin.
Yes. Thru tubing using coiled tubing is one of the most reliable ways to reach total depth on extended-reach horizontal wells where workover rigs and gravity cannot. As laterals get longer in the Permian Basin, reaching the toe for milling, cleanouts, and stimulation is a frequent challenge. Tejas configures its coiled tubing operations to reach and work the full lateral.
Coiled tubing is the equipment, a continuous reeled steel pipe run into the well, while thru tubing is the category of intervention performed through existing production tubing. Coiled tubing is one of the conveyance methods used to carry out thru tubing work, alongside wireline. Tejas uses coiled tubing interventions for milling, cleanouts, fishing, and perforations through tubing.
Coiled tubing and workover rigs both service wells, but coiled tubing works on live wells without killing the well, runs continuous pipe with no joints to make up, and removes personnel from the hot zone near the wellhead. A workover rig can carry a lower day rate, but coiled tubing often finishes the job faster, which can lower total cost. Tejas helps operators choose the right method for each well.
Fishing is the process of retrieving lost or stuck objects, such as tools, debris, or parts of a plug, from the wellbore. Yes, Tejas performs fishing and debris removal as part of its thru tubing services. Efficient retrieval restores the wellbore and avoids costly delays, and Tejas matches the right tools and crew to the specific obstruction.
Thru tubing operations can mill out frac plugs, clean out the wellbore, retrieve plugs and debris, remove sand, scale, and wax, perform perforations, and deliver targeted acid and chemical stimulation. Tejas tailors each intervention to the well, so the scope matches the specific problem rather than applying a one-size approach to every job in the Permian Basin.
An operator should use thru tubing when a well needs maintenance or restoration that can be done through the existing tubing, such as milling out plugs, cleaning out debris, fishing, or stimulating the formation. Because it avoids a full workover and can be done on a live well, thru tubing is usually the faster, lower-cost option whenever the work can be reached through tubing.
Thru tubing reduces cost by avoiding a full workover, which would require killing the well, pulling the tubing, and mobilizing a rig. Working through existing tubing on a live well cuts downtime and equipment needs, so targeted jobs like plug millout and cleanouts finish faster. For many interventions this is the most cost-effective path to restoring well flow.
Tejas stages dedicated coiled tubing and intervention assets out of Midland, Texas to keep mobilization fast across the Permian Basin. Because crews and equipment are committed rather than shared across competing jobs, operators get a more predictable response when a well needs milling, cleanout, or fishing. Service also extends across Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
Yes. Tejas captures real-time job data during thru tubing operations, tracking the parameters that matter for milling, cleanouts, and stimulation. Real-time monitoring lets the crew adjust the operation as conditions change downhole and gives the operator a clear, documented record of how the intervention was executed, which supports better decisions on the rest of the well program.
