Advantages Of Using A Tong Line Pull System

Image
Tong Line Pull and Tong Toque systems are essential instruments required when drilling for oil. These systems are designed to accurately read makeup and breakout torque. Their aim is to reduce drill collar and tool joint failure. These systems measure the torque being applied to the drill pipe, tubing, casing, and drill collars when joints are formed. This is essential in decreasing drill collar failure, alongside tool joint failure. Every tong system includes a hydraulic load cell, hose assembly, shackles bracket, liquid filled gauge with damper assembly, and the recharge kit. Universal tong line pull system This system indicates make-up or break-out torque in pounds for drill collars drill string components, and its components. This makes it useful when the system is being used with tong handles at varying lengths. Since tong line pull gauges are used on hydraulic, manual tongs, they can be used with any handle length. These systems are built to be universal and compatible so that it

Assessing Cable Assembly Terminal Options

  In most situations, cables are most vulnerable when they’re being cut and moved from one terminal to another. Uncut cables are still protected from the external elements by its shielding and defensive jacket. However, once cut, the fragile wires are highly susceptible to damage and even complete failure. To help prevent this damage, users can employ various terminal shell types. Among the most popular options are non-molded and molded cable assemblies. While both are designed to protect cable ends and enhance their reliability, one option is likely better suited to your needs than the other. Non-molded vs. Molded cable Non-molded components are made using connecting hardware that comes in a system of backshells that encase and protect the wires and connections. All cut wires are attached to terminal pins fixed on the connector plate. The backshells are then slid around the connector plate to provide a reasonable protective covering. The main advantage of non-molded assemblies is that

Types Of Mud Pressure Gauges To Know About

Image
Several pressure gauges  are available on the market and are used in drilling for oil . The three main kinds are standpipe pressure gauges, mud pressure gauges, and torque gauges. Mud pressure gauges are developed to monitor the pump pressure. They are compatible with a variety of pumps and are versatile to use, making sure you’re getting the most out of the drilling fluid. Here’s everything to know about mud pressure gauges: What are mud pressure gauges? Mud pressure gauges are widely used in the oil rig industry. It’s a very important piece of equipment that allows drillers to note any changes in the pump pressure while the drilling is being done. They can issue an instant alert if there are changes so that corrective measures can be implemented in time. Mud pressure gauges are designed to be highly durable and sturdy. They are built to be rugged with the most hard-wearing materials. Some mud pressure gauges have a built-in mud pressure sensor, while others have a diaphragm protector

Top 3 Drilling Rig Accessories That Can Make Your Life Easier

  There’s no doubt that oil rigging and petroleum drilling is a dangerous business, whether the job is onshore or offshore. The combination of highly combustible material, extreme pressure, and heavy equipment can be lethal  and should never be taken lightly. The good news is that by implementing rigorous safety standards and choosing the right oil rig instrumentation , the risk of work-related accidents and fatalities can be reduced significantly. In this piece, we’ll take a closer look at the different types of drilling rig accessories that can simplify operations and enhance worker safety on oil rigs. Let’s begin. 1. Overmolded Cables The rigged conditions of oil rigs are often characterized by high-pressure wash-downs, extreme temperatures, exposure to dust, and constant strains on cables. Regular cables aren’t nearly durable enough to withstand these conditions, which is where overmolded cables come in. These cables are set inside a rigid plastic mold using a combination of molten

Drilling Rig Instrumentation: Overview and Benefits

Image
  Process control instrumentation has become a vital part of most manufacturing and industrial operations. In particular, the technology has become essential in the drilling and well-servicing market. The highly technical nature of the job—coupled with harsh operating environments—is the main driving force behind the need for specialized process equipment for drilling rigs. Here’s a closer look at some essential drilling rig instrumentation tools and their benefits: Overview Working on an oil rig is typically categorized as a high-risk job because operators are often using heavy machinery and are in close proximity to hazardous substances. As a result, worker safety and site safety are a top priority. Process instrumentation tools such as electronic gauges  enhance safety by ensuring that pressure levels are within specified ranges. These gauges can be further customized to include alarms and switches that warn users in case limits are crossed or cut off supply altogether. Wear and tea
