Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the technical advances made in the use of power swivels in replacing the rotary table. The equipment, drilling techniques and accelerated drilling time are reported. Specifically, special features of the use of a power swivel are also presented, i.e., drill up, remote pipe stabs, safety, operating cost reduction, drilling down 90 ft. stands. The object of this report is to acquaint people with the recent advances in the use of the power swivel.
