AC technology has revolutionized the drilling industry.
Operator demandfor ACrigshasdramaticallyincreased
in recent years due to the proven benefits of this
technology. Nowherearethebenefitsof ACtechnology
more significant than in AC drawworks. Regenerative
braking, extremely precise control, accurate weight on
bit (WOB), advancedelectronicautodrillingcapabilities,
automated trippingsequences, bridge protection, and
swab and surge protection are drawworks features
enabled by AC technology. These newly enabled
features allow an operator to drill better quality wells
in substantially less time.
AC rigs drill better wells faster. Risks of formation
damage and induced kicks are greatly reduced by new
control features like surge and swab protection. When
utilizingthe advancedACelectronicdriller functionality,
all four drilling parameters WOB, Delta P, Rate of
Penetration (ROP), and Surface Torque are all
monitoredsimultaneouslyandinstantaneously, allowing
for rapid adjustments to maintain a steadydrillingstate,
keeping the bits cutting surface in optimum contact
withtheformation. Thisreducesbit bounceandcreates
a more stable environment for the bit and bottom hole assembly. Bits achieve maximum ROP and maximum
life, which reduces bit trips and drilling time, which reduces the total cost of the well.
Just asDCrigssupersededmechanical rigs; ACrigsaresupersedingDCrigsandhavebecometherigtechnology
of choice. The NOV Accelerate Your Rig upgrade package will help you advance your rig to the next level and
achieve higher rig utilization. This fully integrated package consists of NOV AC Drawworks with NOV AC Motors,
fullyintegratedor stand-aloneNOVACDrawworksControls, andNOVVariableFrequencyDrives, whichpackaged
together guarantees seamless interfacing and closed loop communication.
NOV AC Drawworks
When compared to conventional
DC and mechanical drawworks,
ACdrawworksaresmaller, lighter,
stronger, faster, more efficient,
and more reliable. By eliminating
the chai ns, sprockets, and
auxiliary brakes, the footprint of
AC drawworks is significantly
reduced. Becauseregular braking
is performed by the AC motors,
there is less wear and tear on the
mechani cal par k i ng and
emergencybrakes. Fewer moving
par ts means l ess requi red
maintenance and less downtime.
National Oilwell Varco offers a wide variety of land rig AC drawworks, single speed or dual speed, single motor
or dual motor, transverse skid or longitudinal skid. You are sure to find an NOV Drawworks that will fit into your
required footprint and replace your existing DC or mechanical drawworks.
These AC gear driven drawworks models provide the following advantages:
No HPU required
No brake water cooling system required
Options of single-speed or two-speed
Options of transverse or longitudinal configurations to fit any substructure design
Options of single or dual motors
Reduced brake wear as mechanical brakes are used for parking and e-stop only
Less required maintenance and downtime

NOV Controls
The key to maximizing drilling performance and rig
utilization is greater control of the drawworks. This
greater control isprovidedbyNOVsACcontrol systems.
When upgrading to an AC drawworks system, you have
the choice of integrating with existing NOV controls or
utilizingastand-alonecontrol systemthat canbeplaced
by the drawworks or in a drillers cabin.

NOV Drill Force AC Motors
NOVs Drill Force AC Motors are the obvious choice to pair with NOVs Drill Force Drives and AC Drawworks.
These brushless AC motors reduce maintenance associated with conventional DC motors. The motors provide
the ability of regenerative braking and stalling. The motors can hold the drawworks maximum hook load at a
standstill indefinitely.
Features
1500 HP
Spherical roller bearings for high
speed operation to 3000 RPM
Specifically designed for oilfield
applications
Certified at 55C at full load
Benefits
Reduced inertia provides quicker
acceleration and deceleration
Full torque at zero speed
Standard frame size provides
