FLOAT EQUIPTMENT

FLOAT EQUIPTMENT

Standard Valve Float Shoes and Float Collars prevent back-flow while deploying casing to bottom. Our standard cement filled float equipment features a plunger type valve fabricated from high polymer plastic. The valves are engineered to have a large flow area to minimize erosion due to abrasive fluids and high flow rates which combat high down-hole temperatures and pressures due to hydrostatic and differential fluid columns.

Standard Float Equipment is available in sizes 4.500 in. (114.3 mm) - 20.000 in. (508.00 mm)

Features

                Easily drilled out with conventional or PDC bits

                Reliable polymer plunger valve with high flow rate

                5,000 psi (34.47 MPa) pressure rating

                Tested and rated in compliance with API required specs

Options

                Single or double valve

                Rounded concrete nose

                Lug nose

                Eccentric nose

                Needle nose

                Up jets / down jets

HPHT Float Equipment is made for casing strings with high fracturing pressures and high annular pressures up to 15,000 psi (103.42 MPa). HPHT Float Equipment is designed with a high strength, aluminum plunger valve that is threaded into the body of the float and consists of sealing elements around the valve housing to prevent leak paths.

Features

                 Integrated latch-down plug receiver

                Matching plugs rated up to 15,000 psi (103.42 MPa) bump pressure

                 Rated for temperatures up to 400 °F (204 °C)

Options

                Single or double valve

                Lug nose

                Eccentric nose

                Needle nose

                Up jets / down jets

A Reamer Shoe is designed to ensure the safe passage of casing, liner, and screen applications when encountering ledges, swelling shale, mud cake build-up, sand bridges and washed-out pockets occurring in the wellbore.

Features

                High strength aluminum eccentric guide nose

                Flow ports provide a 360° flow area

                A 360° spiral blade design, featuring TCI inserts or tungsten carbide cutting structures, can provide either aggressive or passive reaming action—depending on wellbore requirements—and improves casing standoff

                Single, double, and auto-fill valve option

                5,000 psi (34.47 MPa) and 10,000 psi (68.95 MPa) rated

The Anti-Rotation System is designed with an interlocking plug and receiver mechanism to prevent plug rotation during drill-out. The float collar receiver and top and bottom plugs are manufactured with reinforced interlocking hook-type teeth that allow for easy engagement upon plug bump.

Features

                Speed up shoe track / wiper plug drill-out process

                Interlocking teeth prevents disengagement from pressure below

                Plug receiver cemented into float above plunger valve

Auto-Fill Float Equipment permits the casing to fill automatically up to 90% while running in to target depth. The self-filling action is designed to lower surge pressures on the formation while running casing. Casing can be circulated at any given time without affecting the fill-up operation, assuring that the setting ball has not been dropped.

Features

                Reduce surge pressure when running to target depth

                Ball drop system to release the flapper valve to stop back flow

Differential-Fill Float Equipment allows fluid to be metered into the casing string while being lowered setting depth. It allows the casing string to be filled to approximately 85% of casing volume before the differential actuated flapper valves close off upward flow into the casing string. When more than one valve is run in the string, it allows the casing to be filled to 81% of the casing volume.

Features

                Prevent surge pressures

                Reduce casing run time

The Guide Shoe offers a simple and economical solution to lead casing into the well bore. The Guide Shoe directs the casing towards the center of the hole by reducing hang ups and hole problems associated with rock ledges or washouts.

Features

                Tapered nose profile to aid liner to bottom

                Aluminum or composite nose for easy drill-out

                Many nose styles available

Import Tool provides a wide range of standard conventional and high pressure, high temperature casing wiper plugs for every specific casing string requirement. A built-in receiver in the bottom casing wiper plug allows multiple plugs to stack together providing different plug lengths when required.
