TYPHOON v.3
TYPHOON v.3
Automated pipe handling systems have allowed many conventional rig floor tasks to become obsolete. Yet a fundamental operation – wiping the pipe when POOH, still relies on technology from the days of wooden derricks. With 100% Red Zone compliance a non-negotiable in today’s Drilling industry, there existed a gap in technology that RIGTOOLS identified and have solved with the TYPHOON v3.
Facts
The TYPHOON Wiper is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple. It connects to the rig’s HP water system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. In addition LP air is connected for actuation of the rubber wiping blades.
Actuation of water/wiper blades can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from Driller’s Cabin.

TYPHOON v.2
TYPHOON v.2
The high level of safety at modern drilling operations require special attention to equipment. Most drilling rigs have fully automated derrick and pipe handling systems. In certain regions the legislation prohibits personnel to work on the drill floor while the automatic pipe handling machines are in use. But still we experience personnel using HP cleaners when BHA is pulled through rotary and rubber wipers to clean DP string.
Facts
The TYPHOON v.2 is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple.
It connects to the rig’s HP water system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. In addition HP air is connected. Actuation of water/air can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from driller’s cabin.
TYPHOON v.2 is welded in heavy stainless steel and in compliance with “Dropped Object Prevention Handbook”.

Reviews
The RIGTOOLS 360° Wash Tool works very good. We used to have 3 independent pressure washers and 3 men to man them. Now, we have hooked up 2 pressure washers to the unit and only need 1 man to run it. Additionally, he is no longer in the red zone as he is able to operate it with moving a valve or two from time to time Outside The Barricades”. Time, personnel, and money is being saved with a tool that works perfect for our applicationMaintenance Supervisor - Shell Perdido
We have now tested the wiper and the feedback from offshore is that it works very wellJohan Sverdrup
Its going well for us! We love the TYPHOON Wiper for the simple fact of reducing exposure in the RED ZONE.Rig Manager - Drillship Noble

Reviews
we have really good experience with this washer Performance Coach - Valaris Viking
Vis jeg er i Stavanger, kommer jeg innom dere på Stand over en kopp kaffe og ønsker gledelig å se over deres nye produkter, for å nevne det, er vi meget fornøyde med deres Rotary wash unit (BHA Wash Tool) !Kenneth Aske, Optimizer Onshore, Statoil/NAD -- NORTH ATLANTIC DRILLING - WEST EPSILON
The BHA wash tool has worked as intended. In my opinion this is a step in the right direction that every drilling rig should consider. It enables us to stay in compliance with red zone requirements without compromising the quality of the craftsmanship on the rig floor. We keep the floor clean while pulling BHA, which is a HSE benefit as a slippery deck represents a risk. It saves time, not having to stop and clean BHA for every couple of meters. The deck crew is also happy, as the string components coming out are cleaner than before.Roger Løvslett, Operations Planner -- TRANSOCEAN SEARCHER
