Understanding the TESCO Difference

With the widest selection and greatest number of exclusive features, TESCO Top Drives represent the world standard in sales and rentals.

Selection Like No Other

From the largest offshore or conventional derrick styles down to small truck-mounted units, theres a TESCO Top Drive to meet your needs. Hydraulic or electric units are available from 150 ton to 750 ton, 400hp to 1350hp.

Our top drive systems are easily transported via truck, ship, helicopter or airplane.

Ease Of Installation
Packed securely in three standard shipping containers, TESCO Top Drives can be transported easily and affordably by truck, rail or sea. They can also be broken down into smaller modules for easy delivery by helicopter or as air cargo. Once on location, TESCO Top Drives can be installed on most drilling rigs with little or no modification to the rig.

Versatility At Its Best

In extremely cold climates, a one-piece skid building is available to enable maintenance and operation of the power unit in temperatures below minus 40C. Units have been operated to 56C with optional high temperature packages. For offshore platforms or other locations where space is at a premium, the power unit can be split and stacked with a TESCO stacking kit. If ambient noise is a consideration, various soundproof buildings are available to significantly decrease the sound of diesel powered hydraulic systems.
Double and triple stands of pipe can be made up in advance and drilled in, reducing the number of necessary connections by 50 percent or more.

On-site supervision and user training ensures maximum drilling performance.

Using the Top Drive Practically

Whether your specific drilling operation calls for directional, horizontal, underbalanced, air or gas drilling, reaming, running casing, well control, or fishing, the TESCO Top Drive can contribute in ways that will save time and money. Here are some practical examples of what a TESCO Top Drive is capable of and what that means to you. A TESCO Top Drive can connect to the drill string at any height in the derrick and provide simultaneous reciprocation, rotation and circulation of drilling fluids. The ability to ream and backream with full stands. Eliminates the need to pick up the kelly to begin circulation and rotation, thereby decreasing the risk of becoming stuck. No need to break stands into singles for reaming. No requirement to pump out singles with the resulting hole problems. The Top Drive can rotate the drill string both clockwise and counter clockwise with highly controlled torque. Ability to rock the drill string in order to break the static friction while slide drilling. This allows the drilling of extended horizontal sections in shallow wells. Capable of making on bottom connections with the drill string, eliminating the need to re-orient the drill string in slide drilling. Facilitates free-point and back-off operations during fishing. Double or triple stands of pipe can be made up in advance and drilled in with the TESCO Top Drive, thereby reducing the number of necessary connections by 50% or more. In air or gas drilling, decreases the number of connections and thus the blow down time. Decreases the amount of time that the hole is not underbalanced in UBD operations. Allows 20 or 30 meter core barrels to be drilled without a connection, decreasing the chances of a jam-off . The TESCO Top Drive allows for continuous fill up and/or circulation while running casing. Saves time filling casing. Allows circulation, rotation, and reciprocation of casing. Decreases circulating time and stuck casing risk. Link Tilt and Extend robotics assist in casing handling. Increases safety and speed when running casing. Reduces need for specialized casing running equipment.

In the event of a kick, the well can be secured with the double ball valve. Provides a second alternative to traditional stabbing valve well control procedures. Driller can shut-in the well without drill floor crew even while tripping. We at TESCO can make your rig more efficient, and a safer environment to work. Automation of the rigs. Safety improvements for rig floor crew. Elimination of manual tongs to make up connections. Quicker connections. Ability to close the safety valve remotely at any height in the derrick. Possibility to add Stabbing arm. With the addition of Power slips, back up tongs are virtually eliminated.
