Wherever Youre Working, TESCO CASING DRILLING Works Better
CASING DRILLING is ready to go right out of the box when and where you
need it. Anywhere in the world.
Borehole problems can occur anytime, anywhere. CASING DRILLING delivers
all of the functionality of conventional drillpipe drilling, with greater effi ciencies
and improved safety.
Specialized TESCO technicians deploy this time-tested, proven process for
customers in virtually every producing region, backed by the resources of a global
organization. In-depth CASING DRILLING expertise and equipment are at hand
when you need to reach bottom.
-
The Proof is in The Drilling
CASING DRILLING is innovation in action technology that
gets casing to bottom by circulating, reciprocating and rotating
simultaneously. Every well is drilled and cased at the same time.
By using the full capabilities of your rigs top drive, the system
is the solution: CASING DRILLING is a proven process after millions
of feet drilled, on- and off shore, straight, directional and horizontal
wells.
Because of its application fl exibility, CASING DRILLING can
successfully execute anything that can be accomplished with
conventional drilling, while delivering operating and labor cost
savings, capital investment reductions and faster time-to-targets.
With CASING DRILLING, casing is always on bottom, letting
you change your bottom hole assembly (BHA) without a trip.
The process requires less drilling fl uid, further reducing costs and
environmental impact: the mechanical characteristics of the casing
plaster cuttings into the face of the bore hole, sealing pores in the
formation that contribute to lost circulation.
Directional and horizontal applications have been proven
on- and off shore. Directional CASING DRILLING has been used
successfully in diffi cult shales in North America; in completing
complex 3D North Sea wells; and in drilling extended reach wells
further examples of the fl exibility and adaptability of CASING
DRILLING in a wide variety of hole angles, with on-bottom ROPs
equal to or better than conventional methods.
With the ability to rotate and reciprocate while circulating uid, CASING DRILLING can accomplish what conventional drilling can and more.
CASING DRILLING is an engineered solution for di cult drilling situations. With surface rotation rates of 120 rpm for 9 5/8 and 13 3/8casing, (150 rpm for 7), casing becomes a very e ective drill string.

reaming shoe to work casing to the bottom. The CDS can rotate and
reciprocate the casing with continual fl uid circulation.
When the goal is to drill an original straight hole, TESCO
professionals replace the reaming shoe with an expendable bit or
drillable casing bit and use either a liner with drillpipe or casing to
drill a new borehole with casing always on bottom.
TESCO has perfected and proven retrievable CASING DRILLING
systems. Drillpipe or wireline can be deployed for multiple bit runs in
applications where either straight or directional/steerable wells are
required or straight holes that requires multiple bit changes.
The exclusive TESCO Drill Lock Assembly (DLA), used as a
part of the BHA, plays a key role in the retrieval of tools from the
bottom. When setting the DLA, tools are run in either on drillpipe
or wireline. Stop dogs locate the BHA and create a landing and lock
profi le. Once pressure is applied, axial locks are set and the running
tool is released while rotation engages torsional locks. Retrieval
is accomplished using pressure to engage DLA, open bypass and
release axial locks.
CASING DRILLING can be accomplished on nearly any rig with a
top drive. Our tools and people both work toward keeping casing on
bottom throughout the drilling process.
TESCO CASING DRILLING Scenarios
The simplicity of CASING DRILLING is one of the main reasons it is
attractive to many E & P operators. CASING DRILLING requires few
adaptations to a standard drilling rig and in most cases can be accomplished
in just a few hours. Basics include a top drive and TESCOs Casing Drive
System (CDS) that together serve as the workhorse for CASING DRILLING
operations. Installed just below the top drive the CDS improves operational
effi ciencies through its ability to circulate, rotate and reciprocate the casing
string simultaneously.
Depending on your drilling objective, TESCO has tools, processes and
people to get you to bottom.
Keeping It Simple:TESCO CASING DRILLING Adaptability
Simplicity and adaptability are hallmarks of the proven CASING DRILLING
solution. It requires few adaptations to a standard drilling rig in most
cases, just a few hours of rig-up time. From basic casing running procedures
to complex drilling scenarios, CASING DRILLING gets the job done with
superior effi ciency.
For example, for simply driving casing to the bottom, CASING DRILLING
requires only a Casing Drive System (CDS) attached to a top drive and a

Conventional Drilling
CASING DRILLING expertise and technology together help control
and minimize todays borehole integrity issues and other drilling
challenges.
When using casing as a drill string, cuttings are smeared into the
wall of the wellbore. This not only results in reduced cuttings at the
surface, it automatically strengthens the wellbore and reduces lost
circulation.
CASING DRILLING signifi cantly reduces lost fl uids due to this
Plastering Eff ect (see page 7) and enhances reservoir productivity
from producing horizons.
Improved well control is enhanced with continuous circulation
even when tripping. Having casing constantly on the bottom
reduces well kicks creating a safer environment.
The CASING DRILLING process increases safety because it
requires fewer people on the rig fl oor and less pipe handling than
conventional drilling. It also minimizes or eliminates unscheduled
events which lead to tripping the drill-string, kicks, casing wear, and
unintentional sidetracks.
CASING DRILLING design provides superior strength and rigidity
in drilling operations. It has proven capable of withstanding
dynamic downhole loads while maintaining standoff under
large side forces without crushing. Underbalanced drilling, well
completions and other operations can be executed without killing
the well to trip pipe.
Paired with the appropriate TESCO top drive, CASING DRILLING
also maximizes the effi ciency of horizontal drilling operations
further evidence of the systems adaptability from top to bottom.
Lost circulation resulted in two unsuccessful attempts to reach bottom using conventional drilling methods. The CASING DRILLING process, used in the third attempt, encountered no lost circulation and delivered a viable wellbore to the operator when drill pipe drilling could not.
CASING DRILLING has been proven to reduce NPT while improving drilling e ciencies. Lost circulation, stuck pipe, kicks and sloughing shale are all minimized by CASING DRILLING.

Reducing Non-Productive Time
An added benefi t of the CASING DRILLING process is the Plastering Eff ect,
or smearing, caused by continuous trowelling of the wellbore wall by the
casing. Filter cake is smeared into the wall and is not scraped off by bit
passage or tool joint impacts. Cuttings are ground up more fi nely.
Generally, fewer cuttings return to the surface; instead they are smeared
into the wall, further strengthening the wellbore which off ers the additional
benefi t of improved well control and stability.
Circulation losses are reduced even with higher Equivalent Circulating
Densities (ECD). As demonstrated by the CASING DRILLING process, smearing
has a particularly good eff ect when drilling through medium- and high-
density rock. The Plastering Eff ect coupled with industry best practices leads
to curing lost circulation and enables continuous drilling.
Of all the benefi ts associated with CASING DRILLING cost savings,
safety, effi ciency one of the primary benefi ts is this: In many cases, you
can save at least one trip even in zones where lost circulation persists. That
key benefi t alone gives operators a case to consider CASING DRILLING.
CASING DRILLING reduces incremental costs. Many drilling engineers
plan and budget their drilling operations to account for all activities
positive and negative. If a particular fi eld typically encounters trouble
zones, the drilling engineer will plan and budget for those trouble zones
accordingly. Preventing and recovering from trouble is often anticipated
so as not to show up as an unscheduled event, but as a routine drilling
operation. The routine can add ever-increasing incremental costs to
operators, especially those who are trying to tap even more diffi cult
reservoirs.
Sometimes routine operations are activities, or costs, that could
be eliminated with a diff erent drilling system.
Lost circulation and well control incidents are almost completely
eliminated in wells drilled using CASING DRILLING. Wells that
encounter a weak zone before or after a high-pressure zone while
drilling with drillpipe often fi nd it diffi cult to balance the lost
circulation potential in the in the upper zone with well infl uxes in
the lower zone, particularly when tripping out of the hole with
drill pipe. TESCO encourages operators to drill ahead through lost
circulation when CASING DRILLING. Just as one might plan for a
short trip or a conditioning trip as a prudent practice, a certain
amount of time might be budgeted to deal with problems relating to
lost circulation in environments where it is likely to occur. Identifying
these hidden costs can make CASING DRILLING even more attractive
and drilling budgets extend further.
PLASTERING
Casing coupling is forced against the bore wall as it advances into the borehole.
As mud is smeared into the formation, lter cake builds up on the borehole wall.
Filter cake and cuttings are plastered against the borehole wall by the coupling, sealing porous formations .
Variations in the straightness of casing smear drill cuttings, sealing pores in formations in what is known as the Plastering E ect.

Wear-resistant Couplings
TESCO produces wear-resistant accessories to protect casing against excessive abrasions during drilling. Wear Bands are tungsten carbide coated rings installed below the coupling to protect the connection. Wear Sleeves protect the joint from undue wear and prevent buckling near the bottom of the drill string
Pump Down Displacement PlugTM
TESCOs Pump Down Displacement Plug (PDDPTM) is a cementing accessory for use with CASING DRILLING and Casing Running operations. The PDDP is pumped behind the cement job to displace the cement replacing conventional displacement plugs. It can be pumped down at normal pump rates and lands in the casing profi le nipple. When landed, the solid plug holds backpressure preventing backfl ow and allows operators to continue with minimized risk of cement U-tubing.
Targeting and Meeting any Objective: TESCO CASING DRILLING Tools
Almost any on- or off shore drilling rig can be adapted to use the
CASING DRILLING technology. Converted conventional rigs lose
none of their capabilities.
Portable TESCO Top Drives can be easily installed on rigs without
top drives. The TESCO Casing Drive System (CDS), integral to
CASING DRILLING, is the industrys proven workhorse for getting
casing on bottom. The versatility gained by conversion to a dual-
purpose rig makes it suitable for use on a wider range of wells and
increases opportunities.
TESCO has a wide range of equipment for the CASING
DRILLING process to meet any drilling challenge. Together with
knowledgeable and experienced TESCO drilling professionals, theres
no downhole environment off limits no missed opportunities for
more effi cient, more successful projects.
Multi-Lobe Torque (MLT) Rings
The TESCO MLT ring is a high performance, low cost connection enhancement that delivers premium performance to standard API Casing and Tubing. MLT rings fi t standard API off the shelf casing and tubing extending the utility of operator pipe inventories. They are particularly eff ective when used on problem wellbores with a top drive and CDS. Installation is fast and easy and can be done at well-site, pipe yard or mill. MLT rings are compatible with full API make-up tolerances through a unique gauging system and a selection of ring heights specifi c to the size and weight of the tubing or casing. Substantial connection torque capacity improvement can be realized with this technology

Hydro-Form Centralizers and Stabilizers
Hydro-Form Centralizers are used in the casing string to facilitate improved cementing. Stabilizers are used at the bottom of a drill-in CASING DRILLING string to stabilize the BHA (Bottom Hole Assembly). TESCOs patented design and attachment method provides superior strength and rigidity capable of withstanding dynamic downhole loads while maintaining standoff under large side forces without crushing. TESCOs Centralizers and Stabilizers provide positive centralization for cementing in vertical and deviated wells for both CASING DRILLING and Casing Running applications. These accessories facilitate rotation of the casing string, a signifi cant advantage for cementing operations.
Warthog
The TESCO Warthog, our exemplary Casing Running and Reaming Tool (CRRT), helps get your casing to TD despite compromising hole conditions such as bridges, ledges, doglegs, sloughing formations and deviated holes. The Warthog combines hydraulic and mechanical energy to break through downhole obstructions and a nosecone profi le that cleans and circulates simultaneously. Three spiral helix external blades help condition the hole and provide centralization for cementing.
ORB - Once Retrievable Bit
The ORB is TESCOs one-trip drill shoe for vertical or tangent intervals. The cutting structure is inserted into the drill shoe at the surface level. UR arms, pilot bit and the center portion of the ORB bit are retrieved with wireline once TD is reached.
TesTORK Torque Monitoring Service
The TesTORK Torque Monitoring Service gives TESCO clients an easy method for monitoring connection assembly torques and provides an audit trail for connection make-up. The portable, robust system is easily set-up and confi gured. Torque calibration occurs at the rig fl oor and at the connection level and can be done in a matter of minutes. Run by a single operator, TesTORK keeps a tally of casing and an accurate diary of make-up events. TesTORK insures data integrity, security and reports in metric and SI units.
