Delivering Better Drilling Outcomes with Rig Floor Automation

REDUCE DRILLPIPE DAMAGE & INCREASE TORQUE EFFICIENCY IN UNCONVENTIONAL WELLS

The drilling landscape is changing as automation and mechanization create opportunities to further enhance safety and performance, while meeting the aggressive parameters required for deeper wells with longer laterals.

Empowered by the Helmerich & Payne legacy of domain expertise and innovative technology, the HexGrip” 12O automated floor wrench, combined with additional rig floor mechanization enhancements, move modern well programs forward to new performance milestones in the industry's performance journey.

TFE INDUSTRY'S PREMIERE HIGH TORQUE SOLUTION FOR THE UNCONVENTIONAL DRILLING MARKET

The HexGrip 120 automated floor wrench offers the consistently high makeup and breakout torque needed to ensure connection integrity. Factoring the strain extra torque can have on the box, the HexGrip 120 uses six contact points on the upper and lower arms, reducing the force needed to make and break connections, all safely controlled remotely from the driller's cabin. In addition to process efficiency, remote diagnostic capabilities track and record connection data, enabling a detailed representation of connection integrity's impact on drilling practices and continuous improvement.

FEATURES

BENEFIT

OUTCOME

1OO, OOO ft-Ib Makeup Torque

Efficient and consistent pipe connections

Accurate and consistent makeup torque helps

mitigate challenges associated with under torqued connections such as drillstring backoffs and over-torqued connections.

12O, OOO ft—Ib

Breakout Torque

Improved trip times

Accurate and consistent makeup torque helps

mitigate challenges associated with under torqued connections such as drillstring backoffs and over-torqued connections.

<1% Makeup Torque Variance

1Ox less torque variance

With precise torque consistency--more consistent well delivery can be achieved.

ZG& Six-Point Grip

Less force on drill pipe

The power and precision of the torque in conjunction with the radial contact reduces slippage and pipe distortion-prolonging pipe life and integrity.

Remote Connected

Relocation of control to the driller's cabin

Moving control to the driller cabin significantly reduces the human expasure on the rig floor and improves overall efficiency.

Data Logging

Automated logging of applied torque

Torque data from the HexGrip 120 wrench can be used to evaluate drilling specifications and practiœs that œntribute to the optimization of future wells.

Compact Deign

38% smaller and 40% lighter than alternative high-spec floor wrenches

The industry leading FlexRig fleet revolutionized rig move ePiciency. Now,the HexGrip 120 wrench provides industry-leading floor wrench capabilities and a minimal footprint without compromising the efficiency gains achieved with our rigs.

ENHANCED RIG FLOOR MECHANIZATION

The labor involved in manually placing and pulling slips is not only a physical hardship, it places crew members in a high-risk area near the well center. Because H&P’s Retractable Slip Lifters are inset into the rig floor, the top drive can now drill all the way down, creating a seamless transition between drilling and tripping. Safely controlled from the driller's cabin, HSE exposure is reduced by removing additional rig crew presence from well center, while streamlining the overall process to deliver a more consistent outcome.

Rig Floor Automation provides safety and consistency through automation controls and also through the simplicity of enhanced traction control floor mats. These custom- designed mats utilize a combination of raised buttons for traction and are durable enough to withstand even oil-based fluids that commonly affect traditional matting. High-risk areas are identified through color-coded zones on the mats to help mitigate hazards to crew members. Modularity ensures a quick change- out if needed, without incurring downtime.
