TUBULAR HANDLING TOOLS


DUAL AUTOMATIC SPIDER-ELEVATOR*
BILCO’s Dual Tools were designed for use with cementing or production equipment and were engineered to safely pull or run two strings of tubing or casing
simultaneously. SAVES VALUABLE RIG TIME. A total of three to four hours of rig up & rig down time may be saved , per job, through the use of BILCO’S DUAL
AUTOMATIC SPIDER-ELEVATOR*. The IN-LINE ELEVATOR* patented design carries the load directly in-line under the bail; enabling one joint of tubing to be
pulled or run without fear of bending the pipe from too heavy of a load positioned on one side. The SPLIT-BOWL SPIDER* is the only Spider known that has
been used in snubbing units while running or pulling dual strings. This is accomplished by installing a Spider, in lieu of an Elevator, on top of the jack or lift. A
complete open hole can be obtained in less than two minutes with the easy removal of one bolt, holding the spider together. Equipment of up to six inches in
diameter may be run through the Spider without necessitating its removal. For applications where deep-water or larger O.D. tubulars are needed, BILCO’s NEW
Dual Sliding Tools can run up to 5 1/2” X 5 1/2” strings.

TRIPLE TOOLS*
TRIPLE HANDLING TOOLS* system is capable of handling two strings up to 2 7/8” diameter pipe and another string of up to 2 3/8 ” diameter, on 6.5” centers.
Special features of this system is the 5 seconds to hydraulically retract the slip bowls, in open position will allow for tool diameters of up to 8.5” to rapidly pass
through the spider. Both systems (spider & elevator) are air operated from an operator’s console.

PRECISION SLIPS & ELEVATORS* DESIGNED FOR DEEP-WATER


PRECISION SLIPS & ELEVATORS* are one of BILCO’s newest technological advances for Deep-water applications utilizing a SLIDING SPIDER* that gives you
a 21” open hole for running control and umbilical lines, along with the PRECISION SLIPS & ELEVATOR’S* used in preventing tubular damage from die marks
unlike conventional slips and elevators. Each slip body is free to articulate independently of the other slip bodies, when a gripping force is applied to each slip,
the die teeth adjust to contact the pipe with a uniform force, thus distributing the pipe load equally, leaving virtually no die tooth surface penetration (typically
less than 0.003 inches) and equally important, is that this slip design allows for the running of up to 20” diameter tools without disassembly of the slips. All
of BILCO’S TOOL handling systems are designed for deep-water demands of running unencumbered umbilical and control lines, along with pulling or running
multiple production strings. The early innovation of the PRECISION SLIPS & ELEVATORS* earned BILCO a finalist OTC Best Mechanical Engineering Award in
1994. With BILCO’s continuous improvements incorporated over the years, as operator’s demands on deep-water, multi-string completions and the assurance
of the safe running of control & umbilical lines provided by these systems.

NEUTRALLY BALANCED TONG*


Traditional power tong systems create misalignment during connection make-up & break-out, producing a condition referred to as “Side Loading” which leads
to thread galling and false under-torque readings at time of make-up, factors that increase and promote “Connection Failure”. The often termed NBT* is a
truly mechanically correct tong; the tong floats and is designed to relieve the stress factor of side-loading, these tongs provide more accurate torque readings,
computerized make-up graphs, and basically eliminates the “thread galling” or misalignment of the threads during make-up and provide better metal to metal
seals on connections.

SOFT-TOUCH* & HYDRUALIC FRICTION GRIP TONG*


BILCO was the first company to prove the theory of use of special tong dies to eliminate the die “teeth marks” left on chrome alloy, externally coated, stainless
steel, or other expensive special alloy tubulars. By using smooth dies in the tong and the use of a special metal, the typical “teeth marks” that lead to premature
corrosive effects on the tubulars is virtually eliminated. BILCO’s SOFT-TOUCH* TONG provides maximum control through a 3-speed design feature with an
adjustable range from 1/4 to 20 RPM’s to ensure maximum make-up speed, while reducing over-torque due to operator error and provides a “fail-safe” torque
limit device which automatically stops the tong rotation at the pre-set make-up torque. The HYDRAULIC FRICTION GRIP* TONG was developed in conjunction
with the SOFT-TOUCH* system to reduce die mark damage by the use of smooth metal dies that allows for higher torque, while preventing damage to the
tubulars. These innovations earned BILCO a Finalist Award at the 1986 OTC for Best Mechanical Engineering Achievement, a Special Meritorious Award for
Engineering Innovation from SPE’s Petroleum International in 1987, and a FIRST PLACE AWARD FOR BEST MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT at OTC
in 1990.

FIBER GRIP* TONG


BILCO’s FIBER GRIP* TONG was developed to handle the running of fiber-glass tubing. These tongs utilize a belt gripping system over an area of 95% of the
tube body; self-aligning floating heads on the tong and back-up tong; cover tubing and casing sizes from 2 3/8” to 14” respectively; no metal touches the pipe
and may also be used with specially treated and/or coated steel tubulars (i.e. FRP or FRP API steel coated tubulars), if required. FIBER GRIP* is an excellent
choice for running expandable casing.

BILCO ANALYSIS MAKEUP SYSTEM (BAM)


BILCO has conventional torque turn and has developed an analytical system which goes beyond the parameters of the current “torque time” and torque turn
systems and uses exclusive, innovative technology to supply accurate information and control.

CONNECTION SIGNATURE TRACER (CST)*


The BILCO CST* provides monitoring of rotational rates and/or connection torque, followed by monitoring of axial strain, torsional strain, and hoop strain
as monitored by a specially designed clamping device attached to the connection. CST* is a special feature of BAM* and provides the industry with a new
dimension in torque, turns (revolutions), and time plotting. The use of this special testing device will result in fewer connection failures. (CST)* was the FIRST
PLACE WINNER AT THE 1991 OTC FOR THE BEST MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AWARD.

CONNNECTION INTEGRITY ASSURANCE (CIA) – PRESSURE SIGNATURE TRACER (PST)*


BILCO’s PST* offers a method of detecting a leak in a connection, even when pipe dope has sealed it off temporarily. Pipe dope has been found to “hide”, in
many cases the passage of water and gas for periods exceeding 20 minutes. These long hold times make typical hydrostatic or “sniffer” testing uneconomical
due to excessive rig time. With the development of the PRESSURE SIGNATURE TRACER (PST)* operators now have an option to the costly solution of premature
failures that go undetected, or even untested, due to failures in conventional testing methods. A detection fixture is quickly applied to the connection and
monitors the displacement of the connection material when pressure is applied. BILCO’S BAM computer displays these signatures along with the pressure
curve as graphic trends or “signatures”. Connections with leaking primary seals displace the connection material uniquely, and therefore do not show the
characteristic signature of a good connection. This testing method can be used on tubing and casing, couple or integral connections. Leaks can be detected at
less pressure than traditional test methods. PRESSURE SIGNATURE TRACER (PST)* is the only method for absolute confirmation of a leak-safe connection.

BILCO’s WELL-BORE CLEANOUT TOOLS


RISER JET TOOL & WELLHEAD JET TOOL
BILCO’s RISER JET Tool efficiently removes attached solids by directing jet forces to BOP and riser wall. Jetting Tool has options of jetting upward, outward,
downward, or any combination there of according to customer’s needs. The tool has three fluid flow positions: 1) The first position directs fluid to string end. 2)
The second position directs flow to riser cleaning jets. 3) The third position redirects flow to string end. All flow positions can easily handle flow rates of 20 or
more barrels per minute. Flow direction is changed by the use of darts which can be easily removed if a wire line operation is necessary.

BILCO “TOUGH BOY”™ RISER BRUSH TOOL


The RISER BRUSH TOOL used to remove caked material attached to the inside of casing and risers. These tools can be both rotated and/or reciprocated.
Brushes are protected by a stabilizer element which insures uniform brush contact with 360° casing.

RISER WASTE RETRIEVER TOOL (patent pending)


A very special type of “Riser Junk Basket” used to capture heavy solids removed from the well-bore. The riser basket has a 14-gallon capacity. The Tool has a
series of Venturi Jets which manipulate fluid flow to assist solids capture & has automatic drains for fluid removal.

MULTI-USE WASTE RETRIEVER TOOL


Special type of basket allows fluid to easily flow through the basket while trapping solids. A Labyrinth Seal prevents fluid flow around basket or can also
be run without. Outer sleeve protects the inner screen & has a solid core from which the sleeve and screen are easily disassembled. The basket has a
5-gallon capacity.

CIRCULATING LINER TOP & SWIVEL TOOL


CIRCULATING Tool (patent pending) is a special tool with fluid ports which open and close upon contact with liner top. Fluid flow can be optionally directed to
string end or through ports above liner. Tool ports can be repeatedly opened and closed for optimal fluid path when washing debris from casing. SWIVEL Tool
allows the string above to rotate, preventing the small, light string below (inside liner) from rotating & possibly twisting off.
