PPB introduced casing running tools and technologies from Volant, Volant’s CRTi casing running tools are fully mechanical and designed for casing running or drilling on top drive equipped rigs to makeup, breakout, reciprocate, rotate, fill, circulate and cement casing and liner string. Its patented architecture allows control to be in the hands of the driller for further improved safety and enhanced efficiency.

Main features

• Compact, mechanical design removes multiple people and equipment from the rig floor

• Incorporates multiple functions into a single service and single piece of equipment, reducing non-productive time

• Mechanical activation by top drive control using TAWG™ torque activated wedge grip technology allows this tool to be operated by the driller

• Ability to rotate and reciprocate casing and liner strings reduces downhole friction

• Self-energized in torsion as well as hoisting to prevent slippage in either application

• Internal dies are designed to maximize the contact with the inside of the casing ensuring no slippage or distortion of the casing or liner
