Design
Innovation in down hole drilling tool design can be demonstrated by the range of products that we have developed. Our capabilities range from draughting services through to digitally-based design and manufacture of prototype tools ready for testing. We have worked with large service companies and start-ups alike to turn their ideas into reality.
Testing Services
We pride ourselves on our robust testing facilities. Our research and development function is committed to delivering products and processes that are safe and of the highest quality. Our team, using their collective knowledge and experience oversee each testing stage and vigorously apply the company quality, health safety and environment policy and procedure.
Flow Loop
Cutting & Wear have developed a bespoke tool testing facility. This configuration allows for the flow testing of tools. The flow loop consists of 2 engine pump sets, an Oilwell 220P driven by a 725HP engine and a Ross D-175 driven by a 192HP engine. Other flow/pressure configurations are available with alternative liners. The flow loop is fully instrumented using national instruments and all data can be viewed live as well as downloaded for further analysis at a later date.
Test Rig
It is important to us that our customers can test their tools under rigorous conditions because we know that the conditions our customers are exposed to can be some of the toughest out there. Our testing equipment is of the highest calibre, allowing us to put our products through multiple scenarios, all overseen by Cutting & Wear’s team of experienced engineers. Our test rig enables us to provide our customers with evidence of our products quality, safety and reliability.
Hardbanding Wear Test Rig – API 7CW
At Cutting & Wear we work hard to maintain the highest level in industry standards. This is no different when it comes to our hardbanding wear rig for testing the wear resistance and casing friendliness of hardbanding materials. Our procedures meet the requirements as defined by the API 7CW standard which guides our expert team in delivering casing wear testing to a high quality.
Wear Rig
Cutting and Wear’s hardfacing wear rig is designed to simulate a variety of conditions experienced by tools while downhole. This has been used extensively to refine our hardfacing technology and is also available for testing of customers products.
