Let’s talkabout torquethe EnerQuip way

EnerQuip’s portfolio offers market-leading solutions all over the world and regardless of location, clients can be sure that they have all been individually tailored to exactly what they need and supported by the established global network of service centres.

By working in partnership with and listening closely to each and every client, the EnerQuip team can tailor all kit to deliver products and services which consistently exceed expectations. They include:

Fully Rotational (FR) Machine The Fully Rotational (FR) Machine is the premier choice when it comes to threaded oilfield drilling and completions connections and is specifically tailored towards premium connections such as VAM and Tenaris.

With the ability to record torque as low as 100 ft. Lbs – the lowest on the market – EnerQuip’s FR can achieve a maximum torque range of up to 250,000 ft. lbs giving exceptional scope to deal with a wide range of project requirements.

As well as a clamp range from 2.3/8” to 30” if required, this portfolio staple is also available with a range of accessories such as hydraulic support stands that can be automatic to improve efficiency and, uniquely, remember set height parameters. Optional “fully floating” heads allow for offset connection make ups, as found on downhole submersible pumps, while top opening tailstocks are available to improve loading efficiency and reduce manual handling. The FR machines are also fully networkable to aid remote diagnostics and support.

Stroking Machine (SM) Used for threaded drilling connections, the SM machines also record the lowest on the market at under 500 ft. lbs and have broad clamp range from 2.3/8” to 15” or 18”. The ability to operate through a 40-degree angle of head rotation sets EnerQuip’s SM apart as one of the most efficient on the market.

A range of accessories such as hydraulic support stands that can be automatic can be added for improved efficiency in the system which also boasts the unique ability to remember set height parameters.

With push/pulls capable of 65,000lbs of force and spinners that operate to 1400 ft.lbs of torque and 58 RPM, top opening tailstocks improve loading efficiency and reduce manual handling and the SM is fully networkable to aid remote diagnostics and support.

Mobile Torque Unit (MTU) Despite the global pandemic, EnerQuip’s drive to innovate continued unabated and 2021 brought the development and deployment of the company’s ground-breaking MTU for the rig side mobile torque makeup of drill pipe and casing in the Middle East.

The latest addition to the product line is now much in demand, not least because it can make up range three casing doubles and drillpipe triples and is able to run fully automated thereby reducing labour and improving safety and efficiency.

With a clamp range from 2.3/8” up to an optional 22” and a climate-controlled operator cabin, the MTU is torque capable up to 130,000 ft.lbs and can hit the ground running due to its remarkable ability to be operational in under two hours from equipment arriving onsite. It can be paired with any manufacturer’s catwalk for delivery of casing and drillpipe to drill floor and is capable of rig side teardown of drill string components, and BHA makeup.
