Abstract: An integrated snubbing platform is provided that includes a snubbing section including a snubbing jack assembly and a secondary blowout preventer (BOP) connected to the snubbing jack assembly; and a primary BOP section connected directly to the secondary BOP. The integrated snubbing platform is transportable as a single unit and mountable onto a wellhead as a single unit. A method of mounting a snubbing assembly, a secondary BOP unit and a primary BOP stack onto a wellhead is also provided. The method involves first providing an integrated snubbing platform having a snubbing section that includes a snubbing jack assembly and a secondary blowout preventer (BOP) connected to the snubbing jack assembly; and a primary BOP section connected directly to the secondary BOP.
