Top Drive Universal Lifting Cement Head
The oil and gas industry welcomes bold technical innovation backed by sound research, development and attention to quality. Hybrid Technology backs the Top Drive Universal Lifting Cement Head System with more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. This Hybrid Technology Universal Top Drive Lifting Cement Head was designed from its inception for use in a top drive system. While it is relatively light and compact, it has the highest lift/pressure rating in the industry. Its optional subs add considerable versatility.
The Top Drive Universal Lifting Cement Head allows the continuous and independent rotation, stroking (lifting) and high flow cementing simultaneously. Plugs can be loaded before the job and dropped by a manual or remote pin puller, without using a manifold. Slots in the Plug Cage allow the direct pressure on the bottom Plug from the flow passing the Cage to guarantee launch after the pin on the pin puller is retracted. The flow from circulation then cleans the Head from the cement. Both hook load and combined hook/pressure load capacities are increased by the one piece integral design. This no-weld construction contributes to the head’s simplicity, compactness and lightness.
The SureLock® system has the ability to customize jobs with minimal inventory by changing the cage and the bottom sub only. The cement head uses a flow around design that keeps the plug out of the fluid path. Variable size Cages are available depending on which launching Plug is being used. The head is designed so that ample annular area exists around the largest size Cage to allow fluid flow at a reasonable velocity. A spring loaded, lever operated tattle tale releases a flag to indicate dart passage. It can be recocked without removal from the head. Loads are carried through the universal body with SureLock® connections that require no torquing and opens with only a 45° degree turn when the cam lock is in the open position. Plug cages are easily changed by removing the pin pullers that hold the cage in place, then the cage will easily slide out of the body cavity. Plug cages and bottom adapter can be easily changed on location to meet job requirements.
FLEXIBILITY BASED ON RELIABILITY
PLUG CAGE AND BOTTOM ADAPTERS CAN BE CHANGED EASILY TO MEET ANY JOB REQUIREMENT ON LOCATION.
The flow around plug cage design has eight years of field tested experience based on the successful Sub Sea Top Drive Cement Head used by a major oil field service company worldwide.
