Coil Tubing & Nitrogen Services
CROSCO`s Coil Tubing Services are provided onshore and offshore with trailer or skid mounted coil tubing units and highly trained and experienced personnel. Reeled tubing size varies from 25,4 mm (1 inch) to 38,1 mm (1 1/2 inch). Units with larger reeled tubing size can be made available. In combination with coil tubing downhole tools a wide array of wellbore applications can be performed including: well lifting/killing, drilling/milling, fishing, stimulation and cementing.
CROSCO was among the first contractors that offered coil tubing services in Europe in 1975.
Coil Tubing Units: Bowen MB30, Bowen MX12, Bowen MZ15, MH 100.
CROSCO Nitrogen service operates onshore and offshore with automated units and lightweight offshore skids. Units are mostly used for well applications to reduce the weight of fluid in the wellbore and for nitrogen purging of pipelines and tanks. But unique properties of liquid and gaseous nitrogen offer a wide range of capabilities in oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
CROSCO can offer six Air Liquide storage tanks of 7,500 liters (1,981 gallons).
Nitrogen Units: Hobbs, Skid I, Skid II, Kenworth.
Oil Tools Services
Oil tools including: service of the BOP equipment, maintenance of downhole and surface well equipment, tubulars and handling tools, complete wellhead installation/nipple-up (including making up with hi-torque wrench, work with lubricator, testing), MPI material testing (magnetic and ultrasonic testing methods).
- DST service
- Downhole equipment and tools service
- Well control equipment service
- Tubular and equipment inspection services
Tubular running service
Crosco tubular running services provide handling tools and services to support drilling and completion operations at all stages of well construction. Offering an integrated package of total tubular services management, we provide tubular handling, preparation, inspection and wellsite installation services. With conventional equipment used for the installation of tubing, casing and drill pipes, we offer a suite of products and services for improving rig floor operations by reducing personnel exposure, increasing operational efficiency and improving safety. We offer computerized torque monitoring and testing services to ensure the integrity of tubular connection makeup.
- Hydraulic Power Tongs are available for running wide range of tubing (2 3/8 – 5 ½) and casing (5 ½ – 20) strings.
- Diesel-power units are available to provide a reliable power source for a wide range of hydraulic requirements.
