Body bits

Security DBS has begun producing a new line of steel body bits called FS2000 Series. The new bits have significantly increased blade standoff allowing for greater face volume, better hole cleaning, and more efficient cuttings removal. The FS also incorporates new anti-whirl technology which includes spiral blades, tracking cutters, asymmetric blade layout, Ring Claw cutter technology, and a low-torque gage pad composed of inlay tungsten carbide clad, diamond material.Circle 08 on Reader Service Card.

Torque control

Smith Drilling & Completions is introducing AccuTorque Electronic Load Cell. The AccuTorque interfaces with a ConTech computerized torque control device that will correct for moment are deflection and apply desired torque to the connection. The AccuTorque is attached to the Tong Arm and cabled to a ConTech computer which is installed at the driller's console. The system offers quick installation at the rig site, and does not interfere with normal rig floor operations.Circle 09 on Reader Service Card.

Subsea safety

The Expro Group has released literature on three new subsea systems to enhance safety in offshore applications. The 5 in. retainer valve is designed for well testing from semisubmersibles and drillship applications and features increased safety, and riser to string communication. The 5 in. subsea test tree provides a primary safety system to control tubing pressure and rapid disconnect. The 5 in. lubricator is designed for well testing applications and features pump through capability, and bi-directional pressure support.Circle 10 on Reader Service Card.

Well log processing

CogniSeis has announced the release of WellTie 2.0, a new synthetic seismogram product. Well Tie 2.0 is a system of applications used to establish a relationship between depth and seismic travel time by constructing a synthetic seismogram from well log data and correlating that synthetic to stacked 2D and 3D seismic data. The system features a basemap for data management, spreadsheet-like well and line geometry input, and a log curve display.Circle 11 on Reader Service Card.
