Oilfield Equipment Manufacturer

This company developed a device utilized with drilling slips to prevent tubing from falling into a drilling hole when a joint of pipe is being unscrewed. During the project, the company had to overcome design challenges that would allow the 30-inch diameter device to accommodate one thousand tons of stress. Through an iterative design process, the company evaluated alternative die designs as well as several alternative sizes and quantities to determine the variation that best gripped the piping. The company evaluated the materials used to create the device, electing to use alloy steels to the minimal functional thickness.
