Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Manufactures Practical Device for Drilling Oil, Gas Wells in 4,000 Meters Depth
“The top drive device is one of the most important and up-to-date equipment in the drilling industry which is used for drilling and connecting or disconnecting drilling pipes with a different function and it has replaced the old drilling and pipe laying machines,” said Abbas Ali Gorji, the managing director of the knowledge-based Noavaran Taksaz San’at company.
He added that in recent decades, the dominant method for drilling offshore has been the use of this equipment, adding that at present, drilling with a top drive is much faster and safer, specially for hard ground on land or onshore areas.
“Top drive is a portable device that is used in different rigs. The ability to move the top drive properly and quickly on different rigs increases the speed of drilling, which has increased its application in the world's oil industry,” Gorji said.
He stressed that activities of his company in making top drive device are all based on the latest and state-of-the-art technology in drilling industry.
In a relevant development, the Iranian knowledge-based Kani Sanat Shahvar company also succeeded in designing a hydraulic drilling rig capable of operating at 1,500 meters depth.
Saheb Ali Manafi, the vice-chancellor of the Islamic Azad University, Shahroud branch, told ANA that the company was established in 2012 with the goal of designing and building drilling machinery.
The company is active in the two fields of industrial and service sectors, he added.
Manafi went on to say that the company is also active in designing and modeling the first fully hydraulic drilling rig capable of operating at a depth of 1,500 meters, building the first fully hydraulic drilling rig capable of operating at a depth of 600 meters, and building a vertical drilling rig.
Patenting the drilling rigs, producing all downhole components, designing and manufacturing kinds of industrial and mining machinery, and offering technical services are among the fields of activity of the company.
