What is hydraulic rig drilling?

Hydraulic rig drilling is a method of drilling out cement, plugs, or other material inside an existing wellbore using hydraulic equipment. It generates formation cuttings and requires the same attention to drilling hydraulics as conventional drilling.

Who makes hydraulic cylinders?

HSI Corporation has been building hydraulic cylinders for the drilling rig industry for over 40 years. Our experience and engineering expertise have delivered thousands of high quality cylinders to both offshore and land-based rigs.

Are hydraulic cylinders suitable for offshore drilling?

And many other configurations specifically chosen for offshore drilling platforms. Built from start to finish in our USA facility, our hydraulic cylinders for offshore drilling are constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, built to last during heavy-duty and extended operations, and can survive consistent exposure at rugged job sites.

Why do oil rigs need hydraulic cylinders?

Due to their exposed location, oil rigs and offshore drilling platforms must contend with intense winds, large waves, and some of the deepest water on earth. Your hydraulic cylinders must have the power to dig deep, the strength to lift heavy loads, and the durability to withstand severe conditions on offshore rigs or oil platforms.

What makes a good hydraulic cylinder?

Your hydraulic cylinders must have the power to dig deep, the strength to lift heavy loads, and the durability to withstand severe conditions on offshore rigs or oil platforms. A demanding industry like oil drilling or maintaining offshore rigs and platforms requires an uncompromising product.

What equipment is used in drilling and rig applications?

Equipment, such as hydraulic cylinders, used in drilling and rig applications must withstand the elements and deliver consistent results. Offshore oil rigs and drilling platforms can be placed in a variety of environments, but they are commonly established in the ocean on the continental shelf.
