RIGTOOLS has developed the Automatic Swarf Removal Unit to mitigate the hazards associated with handling ditch magnets.
Continuous cleaning of the magnetic surface means that the maximum magnetic field is exposed to the drilling fluid.
With the Patented ASRU - Swarf removal is now a totally automated process with minimal human involvement!
Facts
The Automated Swarf Recovery Unit (ASRU) is positioned
upstream of the shale shakers, typically within the header box
or flowline, to maximize particle recovery efficiency.
Equipped with powerful permanent magnets in each wheel,
the ASRU captures magnetic particles as the wheels turn slowly
in the drilling fluid. These particles are removed into a
collection tray, ensuring a consistently clean magnetic surface
is maintained for effective operation.
This setup ensures a strong magnetic field is always ready to
attract swarf, thereby improving the recovery of magnetic
particles from the mud system. Removing these particles helps
prevent potential failures in mud pumps and MWD tools, and
reduces errors in magnetic surveys.
The ASRU is powered by an ATEX Zone 1 motor and is
certified for use in Zone 1 areas, providing safety and reliability
in challenging environments.
Advantages
High strength permanent magnet
Customizable to different flowline/header box arrangements
add or remove wheels.
"Plug and play installation"
Little to no modification to existing header box is required
Benefits
Eliminate hazards from handling and cleaning heavy ditch magnets
Reduce wear and tear on drilling equipment.
Mitigate risk of downhole tool failure
Reduce NPT
When auto or manual elevator is hanging on the bails, then simply pick up the Elevator Handling Tool with a winch and close the elevator around the Elevator Handling Tool. Now the elevator can safely be lifted out of the bails.
Facts
Made of stainless steel.
Delivered with full lifting certification.
Weight only 11 kg.
Made in 3 sizes:
12"
16"
25"
Can also be customized
Advantages
Slings are no longer required.
Benefits
Elevator Handling Tool improves safety and efficiency when handling any size manual and auto elevators.
The SAFELIFT is mounted directly on plug valves for a safer lifting and handling of plug valves.
Facts
Lightweight aluminum design weighing only 2 kg.
Tailor-made to fit Anson, FMC and SPM-valves.
Advantages
Easy opening and closing of valves. No handling bars required. SAFELIFT ensures firm and secure grip when lifting plug valves and can stay on while the valve while is in use.
Benefits
Improves ergonomics when two people sharing the load while handling valves.
When two people use the SAFELIFT on staircases they can carry the load with one hand and keep the other hand on the handrail.
SAFELIFT makes it easier to see whether the valve is in open or closed position.
When handling lifting subs homemade tools or straps are often used. Handling lifting subs in various ways have caused many incidents and pinched fingers.
Facts
Made of stainless steel. We supply RIGTOOLS Clamp in following standard sizes:
3 ½"
4"
5"
5 ½"
5 ⅞"
6 ⅝"
7"
Two-legged lifting sling and full certification for offshore use is included.
Advantages
RIGTOOLS Clamp is clamped directly around the lifting subs when installing or removing them from BHA components. The safety hooks keep the RIGTOOLS Clamp securely locked while in operation.
No loose bolts or shackles required, no need of slings for handling lifting subs.
Benefits
RIGTOOLS Clamps makes operation more safe and efficient when handling lift subs in vertical and especially horizontal position. The handling is in control and keeps hands and fingers free from danger. The risk of hanging up in threads when removing lifting subs in vertical position is reduced.
Reviews
We are using the the tool every day and find it greatJohn Ralph Drilling Section Leader West Aquarius
I am a drilling section leader on the West Aquarius drilling vessel. We recently purchased a sub clamp lift tool for use on our rig working in Canada.
We have had great success in both efficiency and safety in handling these subs. We have shared this experience across our fleet of Seadrill rigs and also our client, Exxon mobil has shared it through out their companyJosh Allen, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST AQUARIUS
We have been using your ‘Rigtool Clamps’ for some time now and are very happy with the product.
Excellent tool for eliminating the drop sub hazards.Will Sellens, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST GEMINI
I am a Directional Driller in the UK sector of the North Sea, currently working on BP Clair project.
I have seen your clamp used on several other rigs (most recently the ENSCO 100) in the North Sea and always try to convince clients of the safety but also efficiency merits of this piece of equipment, especially when installing/removing lifting subs in the horizontal position.Craig Beaton, Directional Driller -- SCHLUMBERGER OILFIELD UK PLC
The Rigtools Clamps make handling of our lifting subs safer and easier , no more wrapping slings round subs, quick and easy installation of the clamp either vertically or horizontally, no shackles bolts or safety pins to worry about, the subs are held securely and rotate easily so installing into collars etc made safer with little chance of nipped or crushed fingers when using chain tongs. We have a 5½” and 5” Rigtools clamp, two of the best additions to drill floor safety and efficiency we have had. Best Regards, Alistair -- MAERSK CONVINCER
Rental
