THE TOP DRIVE SYSTEM:
With the ability to bring time and cost efficiencies to any drilling application, Tescos line of hydraulic and electric Top Drives has proven successful on rigs worldwide. In every location land-based or offshore, from the frigid Arctic to desert heat, urban locations to remote jungle, anywhere there is a well to be drilled, a Tesco Top Drive can improve operations.
The Top Drive can rotate the drill string both clockwise and counter clockwise with highly controlled torque. Ability to rock the drill string in order to break the static friction while slide drilling. This allows the drilling of extended horizontal sections in shallow wells. capable of making on bottom connections with the drill string, eliminating the need to re-orient the drill string in slide drilling. Facilitates free-point and back-off operations during fishing.
Double or triple stands of pipe can be made up in advance and drilled in with the TESCO Top Drive, thereby reducing the number of necessary connections by 50% or more. In air or gas drilling, decreases the number of connections and thus the blow down time. Decreases the amount of time that the hole is not underbalanced in UBD operations. Allows 20 or 30 meter core barrels to be drilled without a connection, decreasing the chances of a jam-off.
