Technology for Today’s Drillers, TESCO’s Top Drive System
Over a decade ago, Tesco Corporation pioneered a technology that made modern
drilling procedures available to most rigs.
With the ability to bring time and cost effi ciencies to any drilling application,
TESCO’s line of hydraulic and electric Top Drives has proven successful on rigs
worldwide. In every location land-based or off shore, from the frigid Arctic to
desert heat, urban locations to remote jungle, anywhere there is a well to be
drilled, a TESCO Top Drive can improve operations.
P A G E 3
With the widest selection and greatest number of exclusive features, TESCO
Top Drives represent the world standard in sales and rentals.
Selection Like No Other
From the largest off shore or conventional
derrick styles down to small truck-mounted units,
there’s a TESCO Top Drive to meet your needs.
Hydraulic or electric units are available from 150
ton to 750 ton, 400hp to 1350hp.
Ease Of Installation
Packed securely in three standard shipping
containers, TESCO Top Drives can be transported easily and aff ordably by
truck, rail or sea. They can also be broken down into smaller modules for
easy delivery by helicopter or as air cargo. Once on location, TESCO Top
Drives can be installed on most drilling rigs with little or no modifi cation to
the rig.
Ease Of Operation
The TESCO Top Drive control panel is designed to be easily understood
and operated by the driller. On-site TESCO technicians are available to
help achieve maximum Top Drive drilling performance. Specially trained
technicians know drilling processes as well as TESCO’s equipment, and
provide both maintenance and training for the drilling crew. In addition,
advanced factory training is also available.
Versatility At Its Best
In extremely cold climates, a one-piece skid building is available to
enable maintenance and operation of the power unit in temperatures
below minus 40°C. Units have been operated to 56°C with optional high
temperature packages. For off shore platforms or other locations where
space is at a premium, the power unit can be split and stacked with a
TESCO stacking kit. If ambient noise is a consideration, various soundproof
buildings are available to signifi cantly decrease the sound of diesel powered
hydraulic systems.
Our top drive systems are
easily transported via truck,
ship, helicopter or airplane.
TESCO top drive systems’ innovative
design and worldwide availability of parts
and support services have resulted in
a remarkable record of 99.3% uptime.
Double and triple stands of pipe can
be made up in advance and drilled in,
reducing the number of necessary
connections by 50 percent or more.
P E R C E N T • U P T I M E
C O N N E C T I O N SL E S S
On-site supervision
and user training ensures
maximum drilling performance.
Understanding the TESCO Difference
P A G E 4
In the event of a kick, the well can be secured with the double
ball valve.
• Provides a second alternative to traditional “stabbing valve” well control
procedures.
• Driller can shut-in the well without drill fl oor crew – even while
tripping.
We at TESCO can make your rig more effi cient, and a safer
environment to work.
• Automation of the rigs.
• Safety improvements for rig fl oor crew.
• Elimination of manual tongs to make up connections.
• Quicker connections.
• Ability to close the safety valve remotely at any height in the derrick.
• Possibility to add Stabbing arm.
• With the addition of Power slips, back up tongs are virtually eliminated.
Whether your specifi c drilling operation calls for directional, horizontal,
underbalanced, air or gas drilling, reaming, running casing, well control,
or fi shing, the TESCO Top Drive can contribute in ways that will save time
and money. Here are some practical examples of what a TESCO Top Drive is
capable of and what that means to you.
A TESCO Top Drive can connect to the drill string at any height in
the derrick and provide simultaneous reciprocation, rotation and
circulation of drilling fl uids.
• The ability to ream and backream with full stands.
• Eliminates the need to pick up the kelly to begin circulation and rotation,
thereby decreasing the risk of becoming stuck.
• No need to break stands into singles for reaming.
• No requirement to pump out singles with the resulting hole problems.
The Top Drive can rotate the drill string both clockwise and
counter clockwise with highly controlled torque.
• Ability to “rock” the drill string in order to break the static friction while
“slide drilling”. This allows the drilling of extended horizontal sections in
shallow wells.
• Capable of making “on bottom” connections with the drill string,
eliminating the need to re-orient the drill string in “slide drilling”.
• Facilitates free-point and back-off operations during fi shing.
Double or triple stands of pipe can be made up in advance and
drilled in with the TESCO Top Drive, thereby reducing the number
of necessary connections by 50% or more.
• In air or gas drilling, decreases the number of connections and thus the
“blow down” time.
• Decreases the amount of time that the hole is not underbalanced in UBD
operations.
• Allows 20 or 30 meter core barrels to be drilled without a connection,
decreasing the chances of a “jam-off ”.
The TESCO Top Drive allows for continuous fi ll up and/or
circulation while running casing.
• Saves time fi lling casing.
• Allows circulation, rotation, and reciprocation of casing.
• Decreases circulating time and stuck casing risk.
“Link Tilt” and “Extend” robotics assist in casing handling.
• Increases safety and speed when running casing.
• Reduces need for specialized casing running equipment.
Using the Top Drive Practically
Electric Top Drives
Available from 400hp to 1350hp, TESCO permanent magnet or
AC electric Top Drives are the ideal choice for modern rigs (land or
off shore) with suffi cient electric power.
Hydraulic Top Drives
Available from 475hp to 1205hp with self-contained AC over
hyraulic or diesel prime movers, these units are the traditional choice
for portable installation or for re-powering older mechanical rigs.
TESCO rental Top Drives are available from our International Service
Divisions. These units can be economically shipped and quickly
installed in almost any rig worldwide. An experienced TESCO Top Drive
technician is supplied with every rental unit to ensure the customer
receives maximum benefi t from the Top Drive. Both hydraulic and
electric Top Drives are available for sale in new rig construction,
rig upgrades and permanent installations. A selection of models,
combined with accessories, on-site Installation supervision and factory
training ensure that the customer receives real value for their TESCO
Top Drive investment.
