Selecting the appropriate connector is generally dependent on the application and operator preference.Grapple connectorSetscrew/dimple connectorRoll-on connector 1.Roll-On ConnectorThe roll-on connector attaches to the internal diameter of the CT and is held in place by crimping the CT around a connector profile with a special crimping tool. However, the roll-on connector poses a significant obstruction to […]

Back Pressure Valve (BPV) Versus Two Way Check Valve (TWCV)
Type H Threaded Style BPV The Type H back pressure valve is a threaded style BPV that incorporates internal running threads, external setting threads, and an internal stinger.This style valve must be rotated in a set of mating threads until it seats.The Type H BPV may not be set with wire line because it must […]
Flowback Coiled Tubing
In a coiled tubing (CT) operation, flowback refers to the return of fluids (such as wellbore fluids, treatment fluids, or reservoir fluids) to the surface after pumping stops. If the flow rate during flowback is very low, several factors could be responsible: 1. Reservoir Pressure is Low – If the reservoir has low energy, it […]
Well Drilling Methods
Exploring Well Drilling Methods: Choosing the Right Approach for Your Project. Well drilling is a fundamental process in accessing underground resources like water, oil, and natural gas. The choice of drilling method depends on factors such as depth, geology, and the type of resource being extracted. Here’s a breakdown of the most common well drilling […]
Shale Shakers
Shale shakers are components of drilling equipment used in many industries, such as coal cleaning, mining, oil and gas drilling.They are the first phase of a solids control system on a drilling rig, and are used to remove large solids (cuttings) from the drilling fluid (“mud”). Typical shale shakers on a drilling rigDrilling fluids are […]
Blowout Preventer (BOP)
BOP is a specialized valve or similar mechanical device, used to seal, control and monitor oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts, the uncontrolled release of crude oil or natural gas from a well. They are usually installed in stacks of other valves. Blowout preventer were developed to cope with extreme erratic pressures and uncontrolled […]
Oil Pump Jack and Well Diagram
Classic beam pump system showing:Surface pumping unit.Polished rod, sucker rods, and barrel inside well.Uses reciprocating motion to lift oil from formation.Inset shows rotary drilling rig with components like blowout preventer, casing, and mud circulation.
Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) Bits
PDC Bits are the workhorses of the oil field. Features such as cutter types, cutter layout, and blade geometry are continuously being evaluated and improved to deliver value and drive down drilling costs. Certification with the IDEAS integrated dynamic design and analysis platform ensures these bits offer optimal performance. Additionally, the IDEAS platform and field […]
Oil Well Drilling
It is a complex operation and the drilling industry engages the services of personnel and a complicated array of machinery and materials to drill an oil/gas well to depths greater than 6000 meters, The drilling industry has seen technological progress, however, these advances have not changed the fact that, besides the use of complicated machinery, […]
Whipstock Drilling
It is a directional drilling technique that is used to change the direction of an existing wellbore. This technique is typically used to sidetrack from an existing wellbore, which means that a new wellbore is drilled from the same wellhead as the existing wellbore. This can be done for a number of reasons, such as […]
