Rig skidding brochure

 Fig 1Hilman Rollers, Inc. released its latest brochure featuring products such as early well-to-well skidding land rigs and its lift and roll systems on modern offshore jackups. The Rig Skidding with Hilman Rollers brochure chronicles the evolution of drilling and rigging applications. It was first introduced in the 1980s to minimize rig downtime, since structures no longer needed disassembly for well-to-well moves. The company has since supplied rollers with 500 to 5,000-ton capacity. It has implemented applications for cluster drilling land rigs, offshore jackups and platform and tender assisted rigs. 


Level transducer

 A brochure from Pressure Systems describes the firm’s smart hydrostatic level transducer that is compatible with different Modbus devices. Series 510 offers 100% datalogger compatibility, repeatability and optimization for low power consumption. It can be used in various applications, such as tank gauging and water/wastewater level monitoring.


Drilling fluid system

 ULTRADRIL is a field-proven, water-base drilling fluid that provides excellent shale inhibition and drilling characteristics. Previously, such performance was associated only with inverted emulsion systems. This cost-effective system inhibits the most reactive shales and provides wellbore stability. It encapsulates cuttings for greater hole-cleaning and fluids-processing, and it reduces clay/gumbo accredition and bit balling. The fluid helps suppress gas hydratesand and is helpful for deepwater projects. M-I has a brochure available. 


Drilling products

Fig 2 Diamond Products International features its drilling products in its latest 20-page brochure. The company describes each tool it offers in detail, accompanied by color photos and graphs. Included pamphlets better describe drillbit series SpeedDrill, PDC and SpeedReamer Bi-Center. The company offers all drilling services including customer service.


Protective cases

 Hardigg Cases, a division of Hardigg Industries, is offering a brochure on its full line of rugged protective cases. Storm Case features a proprietary latch design to solve the problem of bruised knuckles. “Press & Pull” latch designs are easy to operate and do not pop open when dropped. The Storm Case line of injection-molded cases are more compact, equally durable as conventional cases and are designed for smaller equipment. 


Pressure sensor

 Red Valve has a brochure that details the dimensions, installation options and applications of its pressure sensors. The sensors isolate and protect instrumentation from the process line, providing accurate, repeatable pressure measurement of slurries and corrosive fluids. They feature a self-cleaning, flexing action and do not clog. Custom designs are available to meet customer specs. 


Tubing rotators

 RODEC tubing rotators evenly distribute wear by slowly rotating the production tubing. Rotation increases tubing life span and reduces operating costs. They are available with an Auto-Turn Drive System or Sidewinder Drive System for progressing cavity pump applications. For reciprocating pumps, rotation is accomplished via a pull chain attached to the walking beam. Electric or manual models are available for both pump options. R&M Energy Systems is offering a 12-page brochure on this item. 


Cables, leader wire

 Steward Cable has published a literature set titled Cabling the Geophysical Industry. The pages highlight the firm's commitment to provide timely service and products. The company manufactures cable and leader wire jackets using UV-stabilized polyurethane in durometers that meet the product's intended use. Standard and custom cable/connector configurations are produced to meet any requirement.


Digital valve controller

 Emerson Process Management's 16-page brochure provides information on the Fisher Fieldvue digital valve controller's design, the PlantWeb digital plant architecture and predictive maintenance. This controller can collect diagnostic information on the control valve assembly, allowing users access to AMS ValveLink software. This is explained in the brochure, which is available online.
