BHA Wash Tool

The high level of safety in today’s drilling operations around the world 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.

Facts

The tool is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple. It connects to the rig’s HP system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. Actuation of HP water can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from driller’s cabin.

The BHA Wash Tool can be installed either with three legged sling or with the special made Running Tool.

BHA Wash Tool is welded in heavy stainless steel and in compliance with “Dropped Object Prevention Handbook”.
CE certification.
Welding certificate.

Reviews

we have really good experience with this washer Performance Coach - Valaris Viking

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
