THE WORLD'S FIRST COILED TUBING DRILLING UNIT
THAT ROTATES FROM SURFACE
Drill pipe needs to be screwed together as you progress. Coiled tubing makes the drilling process faster and safer by being continuous. So why don?t more company?s use coiled tubing to drill?
Because coiled tubing drilling has two major limitations, friction and high cost.
The Revolver design overcomes both of these limitations by designing and building the world's first API-certified coiled tubing drilling rig that can rotate coiled tubing from surface at up to 20 RPM.
Expected to be completed during the 1st quarter of 2008, this unit?s rotation overcomes friction, assists in hole cleaning, and allows the use of standard directional BHAs.
The ability to rotate coil at surface marries the best of rotary jointed pipe drilling with the best of coiled tubing drilling. Initial studies conducted by ourselves into potential efficiency savings translate into a 40% saving in rig time when compared to standard jointed pipe operations. This results in more footage and hence more reservoirs drilled per string year.
The RRL design is DOT compliant and can be operational upon arrival at the well site within six hours.
