Casing Running Tool (CRT) – A Critical Tool for Safe & Efficient Casing Operations

In drilling operations, running casing is a high-risk and precision-critical task. The Casing Running Tool (CRT) plays a vital role in ensuring this process is done safely and efficiently.

The CRT is designed to grip, lift, rotate, and torque casing strings, allowing smooth running into the wellbore while maintaining full control at surface. It also enables circulation and rotation, which is essential for hole cleaning and preventing differential sticking.

Key benefits of using a CRT:
• Improved safety by reducing manual handling
• Precise torque and rotation control
• Faster casing running operations
• Better well integrity and reduced non-productive time (NPT)

From surface handling to final casing landing, the CRT is a small tool with a huge impact on well success.
