TORQUE
9,240 ft·lb
Tubular running crews for Peace Country rigs since 2000 — power tongs, computer torque & laser tally, from 2⅜″ to 13⅜″. Fewer remakes, no lost rig-time, and every string documented.
Anybody can run pipe. The question your completions engineer actually loses sleep over is whether every connection was made up in spec — and whether you can prove it. On a Drifters string, you can.
Surface, intermediate, production — one crew, one standard, top to bottom. Power tongs on every connection, torque logged, tally lasered, drift verified. The string goes in right, and you hold the proof it will hold.
The full toolset — handling casing and tubing from 2⅜″ to 13⅜″, 24 hours a day, across Peace Country.
Conventional hydraulic tongs for casing make-up across the full size range.
Precise make-up for integral-joint tubing where connection integrity is everything.
WinCatt torque-turn on every connection — documented, in-spec, auditable.
Every joint measured and counted by laser — an exact string tally, no guesswork.
Internal diameter drift-verified clear before the string ever runs in the hole.
Threads steam-cleaned to spec before make-up — clean connections, true torque.
Experienced hands who run the floor safe and keep you off the critical path.
Pipe handled off the racks and up to the floor — fewer hands in the red zone.
Every credential an operator checks before a crew sets foot on the pad — current, verified, and the reason there's never a question about putting Drifters on the list.
