Lockdown screws, (LDS) utilize an external thread (ET) design that moves the threads outside the pressurized or wetted surface of the wellhead equipment. They utilize a robust Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread for the lockdown screw itself and the packing gland nut to minimize any galling. Additionally a one piece HBNR compression packing element with […]

Bottomhole Assembly (BHA)
Short for Bottom Hole Assembly, is a crucial component in oil and gas drilling operations. It acts as the interface between the drill string and the wellbore, playing a pivotal role in efficiently extracting hydrocarbons. BHA Is a specialized assembly of tools used in oil and gas drilling operations. It is connected to the drill […]
Casing Scraper for Well Drilling
The Casing Scraper is used to clean cement, mud, embedded bullets, rust, mill scale, paraffin, perforation burrs and other substances from the inside walls of casing. Maintaining a clean casing I. D. is important to the operation of all tools used in drilling the well. Likewise, packers and similar tools must have a clean surface […]
Drawwork Introduction
Drawwork is a critical component responsible for hoisting and lowering drill strings, casing, and other equipment during drilling and well completion operations. This powerful mechanism is the link between the wellbore and the surface, enabling the essential task of extracting and inserting materials at depth. Unraveling the Draw Works: A Deeper LookEssentially, the Draw Works […]
What Is Backflow?
Backflow from the drill pipe is a normal occurrence when a connection is broken at the rig floor. Backflow can result from the density differential of warm (low density) surface water pumped down the pipe against cold (denser) water in the ocean, air that has been trapped during connections and pumped down the pipe, dense […]
BOP Testing Procedures
Use water to test BOP’s. The reason is that water has less compressibility than mud. Make up testing assembly and set in into a wellhead profile. Ensure that the casing valve must be left opened and there must be personnel monitoring the outlet of casing valve all time while testing. You must ensure that personnel […]
Fishing Operation In Drilling Oil & Gas
Fishing operations object which has been lost or stuck in a borehole, and has a serious negative impact on well operations. Fishes can be anything, whether that is a drill string that has come away, a bit cone, or even a hand tool that has been inadvertently dropped into the well. To solve this issue, […]
Borewell Drilling
Surface DrillingSurface drilling methods are adopted in areas where the drilling location is vacant and has enough space for the drilling rig to set the point. There are various diameters of drilling bits used in surface drilling based on the usage of the borewell. As per current market situation high power rigs are equipped with […]
Drill Pipe Float Valve
Oil workover rig Drillout cement plug with 6″ tri cone bit BHA. are downhole safety valves that create barriers to prevent unwanted flow of fluids up the drill string. The valve locks down the flow of fluids while the crew at the rigfloor is making or breaking connections. Observed the drill pipe float valve, which […]
Drill Pipe Mud Screen
Drill Pipe Mud Screen is adapted for releasable connection within a drill pipe string. The screen has a planar support plate for connecting a perforated tubular screen body to a fish neck wherein the plane of the planar support plate is generally parallel to the axis of the screen body. The orientation of the planar […]
