Pipehandling technology increases casing-running efficiency
Because the drilling industry demands continuous improvement in safety and efficiency many rigs in the recent newbuild cycle have been fitted with advanced pipe-racking systems. The full-length paper focuses on casing running and discusses the technical hurdles overcome in the design of an offline pipehandling system that can build 135-ft stands of casing triples and rack them in a dynamic application.
