Drilling Equipment (7 Guides)

Drilling equipment includes drill rigs, hoisting equipment, downhole motors, and other rig components used in well drilling operations.

Drilling Structures (2 Guides)

Drilling structures make up the rig floor, foundation, and framework of the drill rig supporting the drill string and associated drilling equipment.

Elevators (oil and gas)

Elevators are hinged devices that close around a drill pipe or other oil country tubular good (OCTG) in order to facilitate lifting and lowering of the tubular element into or out of the well bore.

Float Collars

Float collars are short sections of casing with a backpressure valve that prevents fluid flow back during cementing and case running operations.

Guide Shoes

Guide shoes are bull-nose devices attached to the bottom of the casing string. They protect the casing string from impact, enable passage through narrow or deviated boreholes, and direct away from ledges reducing the chance of sidewall cave-in.

Highwall Miners

Highwall miners link underground and surface mining operations by extracting coal from exposed horizontal seams in open-pit mines.

Longwall Shearers

Longwall shearers cut away the face of a coal seam in longwall mining operations by mounting over an armored face conveyor.

Mining and Well Drilling Bits

Mining bits are tools for boring into rock and earth. They drill and penetrate soft and hard rock in mining, quarrying, tunneling, construction, geological exploration, and blasting applications.

Mining Shovels

Mining shovels are large excavation tools used in surface mining applications to strip overburden materials and load coal, mineral ores, sand, and other natural resources.

Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) (4 Guides)

Oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are seamless rolled or welded pipe and tube products that are used for drilling and well completion activities.

Plow Systems (mining)

Plow systems for longwall mining operations extract segments of coal across the face of a seam with equipped cutting picks or blades.

Production Equipment (oil and gas) (2 Guides)

Production equipment is used to recover reservoir fluids and optimize field production from drilled oil and gas wells.

Roadheaders

Roadheaders are underground crawler-type excavating machines with a boom-mounted cutting drum used for tunneling and mining operations.

Roof Supports (mining)

Roof supports provide a means of temporary supporting overburden in longwall mining operations.

Solids Control Equipment (2 Guides)

Solids control equipment (SCE) is a line of process equipment used to remove solids and entrained gases from drilling fluid.

Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM)

Tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are used in subsurface mining operations to excavate tunnels through rock strata and surrounding sedimentary deposits.
