A very good and much more simple way to position magnets in flowline. Significant simplification of spoon measurements. Handling the old type was circumstantial. The new ones are much cleaner – no mess. “New type of flowline magnets are very simple to clean. Great functionality. “We all agree the new flowline magnets performs very well !” “Everybody agrees they are easy to use and have a very good effect.” We used them when I was a Roughneck, and it worked like a charm. It was a quantum leap compared to the old, heavy and bulky magnets we used to have.

We have been using your ‘Rigtool Clamps’ for some time now and are very happy with the product. Excellent tool for eliminating the drop sub hazards.

Will Sellens, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST GEMINI

The Rigtools Clamps make handling of our lifting subs safer and easier , no more wrapping slings round subs, quick and easy installation of the clamp either vertically or horizontally, no shackles bolts or safety pins to worry about, the subs are held securely and rotate easily so installing into collars etc made safer with little chance of nipped or crushed fingers when using chain tongs. We have a 5½” and 5” Rigtools clamp, two of the best additions to drill floor safety and efficiency we have had.

Vis jeg er i Stavanger, kommer jeg innom dere på Stand over en kopp kaffe og ønsker gledelig å se over deres nye produkter, for å nevne det, er vi meget fornøyde med deres Rotary wash unit (BHA Wash Tool) !

As we have previously ordered we know that your drift cabinets are of great quality and of good design.

I am a Directional Driller in the UK sector of the North Sea, currently working on BP Clair project. I have seen your clamp used on several other rigs (most recently the ENSCO 100) in the North Sea and always try to convince clients of the safety but also efficiency merits of this piece of equipment, especially when installing/removing lifting subs in the horizontal position.

The BHA wash tool has worked as intended. In my opinion this is a step in the right direction that every drilling rig should consider. It enables us to stay in compliance with red zone requirements without compromising the quality of the craftsmanship on the rig floor. We keep the floor clean while pulling BHA, which is a HSE benefit as a slippery deck represents a risk. It saves time, not having to stop and clean BHA for every couple of meters. The deck crew is also happy, as the string components coming out are cleaner than before. The tool is custom made to fit our diverter. It's mounted once the diverter is in place and stays there until removing the diverter for pulling BOP/riser. It does not affect any operation. The ID of the tool allows the diverter insert packer to pass through. Rigtools have been easy to cooperate with, and they have delivered full documentation. We identified a few risks in the process of implementing the tool. Water contamination of drilling fluids. Water leaking into the top of the riser fooling us on the volume control. Dropped objects in the well. This is how we dealt with them. Informed the customer's mud company about water amounts and got confirmed that this was no problem. We have double barriers on the water supply. In addition to that, we have procedures to disconnect the supply line when not in use to avoid water unintentionally leaking into the well. We communicated with Rigtools to make sure that they understood what kind of beating it had to be able to take without parting. They ensured us that it had been thought of. As the tool arrived it was easy to understand that it's a robust construction. It's also important to be aware of how much clearance you get from the rotary table to the BHA wash tool, and check this against how deep any type of spiders or other equipment might stick.

I still believe the ditch magnets are a great tool, they are one of the best replacements for that task I’ve seen. From the point of installation/use/effectiveness they are quality. They remove so many hazards for that task. Just lifting and cleaning the old block type magnets is a nightmare for anyone doing it. With your design, its done in ten minutes and no manual handling or mess, simple.

I am a drilling section leader on the West Aquarius drilling vessel. We recently purchased a sub clamp lift tool for use on our rig working in Canada. We have had great success in both efficiency and safety in handling these subs. We have shared this experience across our fleet of Seadrill rigs and also our client, Exxon mobil has shared it through out their company

Josh Allen, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST AQUARIUS

We have two units currently in use and are very happy with the results. Safe, efficient, ready to go simple to use tool.

We are using the the tool every day and find it great

Its going well for us! We love the TYPHOON Wiper for the simple fact of reducing exposure in the RED ZONE.
