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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
