GUIDE FUNNEL FOR CASING RUNNERS

Threads and couplings are not damaged when using composite material. The latch lock works flexibly and conveniently.

Main functions and purpose of the funnel guide:

Accurate pipe guidance:
The guide funnel ensures that the pipes are properly aligned and guided as they are lowered into the well. This is important to avoid misalignment or incorrect pipe positioning, which can lead to equipment damage or improper installation.

Damage Protection:
When running casing or tubing into the well, there is a risk of damage to the casing or tubing. The guide funnel minimizes this risk by guiding the tubing smoothly and safely into the well, thereby preventing mechanical damage.

Simplifying the running process:
With the guide funnel, the pipe running process becomes more controlled and efficient, especially in deep drilling applications where controlling the position of the pipe becomes more difficult.

Maintaining rig verticality:
The funnel helps ensure that the pipe runs strictly vertical, which is critical for proper installation of the casing or tubing and to prevent misalignment and other problems later in the drilling or well operation.

Reducing the risk of blockage:
A guide funnel helps prevent tubing from getting blocked or stuck during the running process, which can happen if the tubing is not properly aligned.


Benefits of using a guide funnel for running casing and tubing:

Increased safety
The guide funnel prevents damage to pipe and equipment, reducing the risk of accidents and breakdowns.

Increased accuracy
It ensures that the pipe is guided accurately, which helps ensure proper installation.

Reduced lowering time
The lowering process is faster and less time consuming because the funnel facilitates alignment and prevents problems with stuck pipes.

Damage Protection
Helps minimize pipe wear and mechanical damage, especially when using expensive or specialized casing strings.


Guide Funnel Application:

During drilling:
To ensure accurate and safe running of casing and tubing during drilling and well development.
During workover and well maintenance:
To accurately run and install new tubing during workover or well maintenance operations.
When installing equipment into the well:
To ensure proper pipe orientation and prevent problems during pipe installation.
