Using Tong Torque Gauges for Drilling Rigs
A tong torque gauge is used to measure the amount of torque generated in foot-pounds per joint. They are available is a variety of scales, makes, and models and are used in the running of oilfield tubulars for precision checks.
What’s A Tong Torque Gauge? A Guide
A drilling rig is an integrated system that’s used to drill into the earth’s subsurface for the purposes of oil or mineral extraction. The process is extremely complicated and requires a high degree of expertise, as well as specialized tools.
3 Benefits of Overmolded Cable Assemblies
Over the last few decades, overmolding has changed the functionality and appearance of cable assemblies dramatically. The overmolding process utilizes injection molding to force materials into mold cavities through a great deal of pressure. The most popular materials used for cable assemblies are thermoset or thermoplastic materials.
Benefits of Using Hydraulic Drilling Rigs
In order to adapt to extreme environments, oil exploration expeditions require technological advancements in drilling instrumentation. Moreover, stringent safety measures for environmental protection are an added challenge that needs to be met.
Drilling in the Technological Age: Reshaping the Industry
The term “digital oilfield” has been around since the late 1970s, when 2D and 3D computerized technologies were used for seismic testing. It’s recently become a popular buzzword as companies look for ways to cut costs and increase productivity using digital solutions. Let’s look at how the oil industry is investing in tech to manage their …
