CASING DRIVE SYSTEM
Developed for the rigors of CASING DRILLING, the TESCO Casing Drive System
(CDS) delivers all of the advantages of Top Drive drilling to the Casing Running opera-
tion. Replacing power tongs and traveling elevators the CDS allows simultaneous rota-
tion, reciprocation and circulation of the casing string at any time, greatly increasing safety
and the chance of getting casing into troublesome wellbores. TESCO now provides the
CDSas part of a full-service Casing Running offering. Easily installed on any manufactur-
ers Top Drive system and with a track record of millions of feet the TESCO CDS is the
Industrys most versatile and proven integrated drive tool.
The TESCO CDScan be quickly installed on virtually any Top Drive system, electric or
hydraulic, with typically no modifications to any existing drilling equipment.
The TESCO CDSgreatly reduces the amount of equipment and personnel required to
run casing, provides a high level of mechanization keeping personnel out of the line of fire
and places the Casing Running operation under the control of the Driller.
FEATURES AND OPERATION
An integrated link tilt system incorporating extendable bails and hydraulic single joint
elevators with a safety interlock enables the casing to be picked up at the V-door,
eliminating manual single joint elevators and greatly reducing effort, fatigue and injury
risk from personnel-machinery proximity
The single joint is hoisted, positioned over hole center and stabbed through lowering
the Top Drive
The CDSgrapples engage the casing, and the joint is spun-up using the Top Drive
motor
A smooth make-up with no bending load and precise control on final torque is easily
attained by use of the Top Drive system
Once the connection is assembled circulation can be initiated and the CDSused to
rotate and/or reciprocate the entire string of casing, greatly reducing the chance of
stuck pipe
The CDSreplaces traveling elevators, and supporting the entire casing string load, is
used to lower the casing string into the well
When used with a slip/spider assembly the CDSallows the stump to be set at a com-
fortable working height, eliminating the need for raised working platforms
TORQUE MONITORING AND RECORDING
For premium connections or as added security to qualify con-
nections, the TesTORKmonitoring and reporting system can
be provided. TesTORKcaptures, graphs and reports torque
versus turns and/or time and with a comprehensive acquisition
and reporting package is a valuable element in the audit trail.
TesTORKcan be used with virtually any electric (AC or DC)
or hydraulic Top Drive system.
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT
In applications where the Top Drives
hydraulic system is inadequate or
unavailable to operate the CDSa zone-
rated independent HPU can be provided
to supply the required hydraulics to the
CDs.
CASING DRIVE SYSTEM
The TESCO CDS adds real value through reducing the risks associated with
Casing Running, and by improving the efficiency of the operation.
For all of the same reasons why a Top Drive improves efficiency and enhances
safety, the CDS virtually eliminates the chance of unscheduled events, such
as:
Setting casing short of the casing point due to hole obstructions
Stuck pipe as can occur when the casing string remains stationary
Wear Sleeve
Well control situations that can occur due to hole surging or inadequate
casing fill
Use of circulating swedges and the attendant risk of connection damage
Working pipe through tight spots, across ledges or bridges by using the
power tongs to rotate the casing
Pulling casing following a refusal and subsequent hole conditioning,
drillpipe work and associated re-running of the casing
By using the capabilities of the Top Drive system in the rig, the CDS also
eliminates risks associated with equipment and other operations, such as:
Power tongs, suspension lines or back-up lines in the derrick or on the
Wear Band
rig floor
Large traveling elevators
Elevated work platform or scaffolding at the rig floor
Separate fill-up/circulating tool or line
Personnel working at heights or out of the Drillers line of sight
Most importantly, by eliminating the need for workers at heights or out of the
Drillers line of sight, the safety of any Casing Running operation can be greatly
enhanced.
CASING REAMING OPERATIONS
Casing Reaming can be a viable option in areas where hole problems are com-
monplace and where simply circulating and rotating the casing will not be ad-
equate to convey the string to the casing point. In these applications, as the
world-leader in CASING DRILLING, TESCOs proprietary technology can be
employed to greatly increase the chances of getting the casing to the desired
depth.
Hydro-Form Centralizers
To help ensure a successful job, TESCO can provide:
Operational modeling using TESCOs CD-Eng CASING DRILLING
software to analyze torque, drag, hydraulics, fatigue and buckling loads.
Proprietary Casing Accessories designed to enable conventional casing to
be reamed into the well without compromising the integrity of the casing
string or connections. These include MLTrings to increase the torque
capacity of API connections; hard-faced wear bands to prevent casing and
coupling wear in abrasive formations; Hydro-Formcentralizers and sta-
bilizers to ensure proper mechanical centralization of the casing for ce- Hydro-Form Stabilizers
menting; the new WarthogCasing Reaming Shoe; and, a variety of Casing
Guide Shoes with or without cutting structure.
For extremely difficult holes, the full CASING DRILLINGBHA can be em-
ployed. After conventionally drilling the interval a CASING DRILLING
Profile Nipple can be installed as part of the casing string, and a full suite
of CASING DRILLINGtools can then be landed in the string. The power
and ability of a full drilling assembly can be brought to the reaming opera-
tion, virtually guaranteeing that the string will reach full total depth.
