Drilling Services
Surface Casing Drilling
Pinnergy added this service in 2005, as an extension of the existing services provided by the conductor drilling rigs. The Schramm T130XD and TXD Rotadrills expanded this service to include the drilling and pre-setting of the surface casing, the next sequential step of the drilling process. Drilling and pre-setting surface casing is a natural progression for the Company because it capitalizes on management's expertise and existing knowledge of the business, as well as provides Pinnergy with a comprehensive package of drilling-related services.Telescoping construction of the rig permits long head travel and working height to allow handling of range III casing. Our rigs have quick and easy mobilization with the use of Pinnergy's own trucks and do not need a separate Casing Crew. By drilling and pre-setting the surface casing for the customer, a job that was previously performed by the larger drilling rigs, Pinnergy will reduce the amount of time it takes the customer to drill a well by approximately two or more (2 +) days.
Pinnergy's expansion into this service offering enables the customer to:
- more effectively use the larger, more expensive drilling rigs
- drill more wells in a shorter period of time
- significantly reduce costs and streamline operations and
- maintain a safer drilling operation
