Float Collar And Its Significance In Oil Drilling

Oil will is created with a drill bit attached to a drill string which rotates in the ground from a drilling rig. Float collar is used and has its significance in the process of oil drilling and comes in diverse shapes and sizes.

Drilling and extracting of oil well is a tough job but at the same time it is very essential. The product which is taken out is known as crude oil and is processed further to petroleum and other product imperative for carrying out various activities. Gasoline or petroleum in the past one decade has increased in the demand. The reason behind could be attributed to the heavy consumption of the product globally as developing countries like India and China is also becoming slowly coming on the top of the list when it comes to oil consumption.

Rising demand is putting huge pressure on the drilling companies to increase the production. This can only be achieved with the excellent quality of equipment fabricated with the finest quality of raw material. Every machinery or equipments used in the process has their significance. One such is the float collar is used in oil drilling globally, there is a complete range of these are available for various drilling operation. These are designed keeping in view of condition under which they have to work. The use of it helps in avoiding the cement slurry out flow when the pumping is stooped. It is so imperative that without the use of the cement slurry will flow back in the casing.

If we talk specifically about the floating equipment there are kinds of them that are manufacture and are used while drilling the oil. Float Shoe Single/Double Valve -SH18-FS, available in 3 1/2" to 30 "sizes, float collar single/double valve -SH19, in 3 1/2" to 30 "sizes, reamer shoe single/double valve -SH18-RS in 4 1/2" to 30 "sizes, Guide Shoe -SH20 in 3 1/2" to 30 "sizes, differential fill-up float shoe -SH18-DF in 5 1/2" to 20 "sizes, auto fill-up float shoe conventional/non rotating -SH18-AF in 5 1/2" to 20 "sizes and etc. These all are used as per their requirement avoiding the outflow of the cementing slurry from the casing. They are very critical to carry the job and play an important role in while extracting the oil.

Praveen Mohanty has worked for many years keeping a constant vigil on the development which keeps on taking place in the cementing industry. He articulated how cementing equipment are vital for the production of oil.
