A Tesla Moment in Offshore Drilling: D2’s Game-Changing Floating Drift Tool
The Floating Drift by D2 Oil Tools is changing the game for tubular drifting in drilling and completion operations. Like Nikola Tesla’s groundbreaking work in electricity, this tool brings a fresh approach to an important industry challenge.
What does the Floating Drift do? It accurately checks the inner diameter of pipes after each assembly and catches debris in real-time! This is incredibly important because it guarantees clear pathways for other tools during drilling and completion operations, enhancing overall efficiency.
With completions, you can confidently skip slickline runs for tubular integrity checks since all tubulars are drifted post-makeup. This innovative approach not only saves precious time and costs but also helps minimize any potential non-productive time (NPT). It’s truly a win-win!
Just as Tesla transformed the electrical industry with his groundbreaking alternating current (AC) systems-enabling efficient electricity transmission over long distances-the Floating Drift addresses a significant challenge in oil and gas operations. By ensuring that pipes remain free of obstructions, it promotes safer and more streamlined operations, saving valuable time and resources for drilling companies. Both Tesla’s innovations and the Floating Drift exemplify the power of smart advancements to reshape entire industries.
While Tesla laid the groundwork for our modern electrical grid, the Floating Drift provides a practical solution to an ongoing challenge in offshore drilling and completion operations.
Let’s celebrate the incredible impact of these innovations!
