CRT NUBBIN

The ProTorque CRT Nubbin was designed to protect both the CRT packer cup and the tubular connection when a Casing Running Tool is used. Damage can occur to the seal and thread profile of the connection if there is misalignment when inserting the CRT. Without a CRT Nubbin, damage can occur to the packer cup as it passes through the connection. The nubbin’s improved stab flank reduces interference when inserting the CRT.

Protorque Logo colored 1

TETHER RING

The ProTorque Tether Ring was designed as a safety device for Casing Running Tools (CRT). The Bolt-On Replaceable Anchors protect the Grease Port of the Sealed Bearing, with load rated / shock absorbing anchor points, allow the operator to secure the Tether Ring and CRT to the top drive below any connection that might back out. In the event that the CRT becomes disengaged from the top drive quill, the anchor points and safety sling ensures it does not fall to the rig floor. The safety slings are attached to the bail anchors on the Top Drive for a secure anchor point.

RCD INSTALLATION

The RCD (Rotating Control Device) Press is used to install or remove a tubular onto an RCD Head. The head is used with Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) and is conventionally installed on the rig floor. This method of installation can cause a variety of handling and safety concerns. When installing ahead on the rig floor, the rig cost is Non-Productive Time (NPT) so by taking this operation offline we are able to remove the hazards and costs associated.

VOLANT®
CASING RUNNING TOOL (CRT)

The CRT is designed for top drive equipped rigs. Its compact design is compatible with most rig configurations and sizes. The completely mechanical design will simplify operations and minimize downtime. Its operation and rig-in remains instinctively simple: a dual release safety mechanism combining weight and rotation. This is necessary for the CRT to be released from the casing.

The ability to rotate, circulate and reciprocate your casing instantly reduces the probability of stuck casing in the most challenging hole conditions. This system will increase safety and assist in efficiently getting your casing to bottom, all while reducing the amount of personnel on the floor.

Real-Time Drilling Data (TTS)

Real Time Drilling
Real Time Drilling

REAL-TIME DRILLING DATA (TTS)

The TTS Sub is installed onto the top drive and designed to measure torque, tension, RPM, pressure and 3D acceleration directly at the drill string. This eliminates algorithm, downhole survey, hydraulic/electronic and shear friction data errors. The sub delivers real-time data and improves reactive assessment of the drilling conditions.

#RedefineTRS™

TORQUE & DRAG ANALYSIS

The TTS can measure reactive torque of a down-hole mud motor when the top drive is not rotating or providing torque readings. Torque can be monitored while drilling in the horizontal section of directional wells. The high speed/high-resolution tension measurements enable precise and efficient auto-driller controls. 

TTS data provides early detection of down-hole problems and conditions such as stick-slip, stuck pipe, high mechanical specific energy (MSE), and excess hole drag. For example, extreme stick-slip can destroy drilling bits and cause lost drill strings due to backed-off connections.

The TTS can be equipped with additional sensing capabilities for bending and shear to diagnose and solve quill damage issues due to top drive alignment problems. Torque and tension data measurements use multiple strain gauges distributed evenly around the core to compensate for off-axis loads such as bending.

Iron Roughneck Torque Testing (IRTT)

Iron Roughneck ProTorque
Iron Roughneck ProTorque

IRON ROUGHNECK
TORQUE TESTING (IRTT)

The IRTT is used to regularly verify the torque output of an Iron Roughneck. This ensures that torque output is accurate, and reduces damage to rotary shoulder connections during make-up. Regular verification can prevent downtime, equipment failure and extend the service life of your drill pipe.

At ProTorque, our philosophy, based on historical data, believes that all Tubular Connections should use CATM. There are a variety of issues that could occur while making up different connections, most of which cannot be seen without a graphical representation.

This service prevents the running of damaged or incorrectly made-up casing and tubular strings. CATM eliminates leaks during the fracturing (Frac) process and ensures the correct performance and isolation for your packer system. This isolation reduces, if not completely eliminates, the environmental risks when carrying out this process.

#RedefineTRS™

CONSEQUENCES OF INCORRECT MAKE-UP

svgicons-1
1 in 20 wells experience a “back-off” or “twist-off” event due to improper connection make-up
svgicons-1
The average cost is $400,000 per event
svgicons-1
73% of Iron Roughnecks under torque drill pipe connections
svgicons-1
Over ranging the torque of a connection can cause stretching of threads and damage to seal areas
svgicons-1
1 in 6 Iron Roughnecks are out of calibration by 15% or more

A variety of factors can cause an Iron Roughneck to apply errant torque such as mistaken system settings, jaw alignment issues, temperature variations or plumbing leaks. Any of these factors can go undetected by simple pressure checks or other indirect diagnostics. There is only one way to ensure an Iron Roughneck is delivering correct make-up torque to your connections – by directly measuring the torque being applied from within its jaws.

Solutions

Since a direct (not derived or estimated) torque measurement is captured by the IRTT, it removes additional calculations, correlations or guesswork. The IRTT directly measures the make-up torque that is being delivered to your joint connections. Measurements captured by the IRTT allow an operator to adjust the Iron Roughneck set point to maximize the accuracy of the make-up torque delivered.

The IRTT measures the make-up torque being applied by an Iron Roughneck to the joint connections. This allows an operator to adjust the Iron Roughneck set point to maximize the accuracy of the make-up torque delivered, preventing “back-off” or “twist-off” events, saving approximately $400,000 per adverse event.

POWER THREAD WASHING

Proper preparation is an important step in ensuring that a casing string will perform to its maximum life expectancy. By reducing the amount of corrosion caused by a variety of different chemicals and processes that threaten wellbore integrity once completed.

Corrosive compounds and chemical reactions attack any impurities within the connection, this includes debris that is not removed before the make-up and thread damage caused when the connection is made-up without the proper care. This damage and debris can cause chemical reactions that affect the integrity of the steel and make the steel brittle and prone to cracking. Thread cleaning is available to our operators to ensure that their connections have the best possible chance to last the life of the well
