Top-Drive Swivels
Robust and reliable solutions for high-pressure fluid displacement applications
Expro's Top-Drive Swivels are robust and reliable solutions that permit work string rotation and reciprocation during high‐pressure fluid displacements. The advanced swivel design facilitates pump pressures and flow rates in excess of conventional top-drive swivels to ensure consistent, turbulent flow for optimal wellbore clean out.
Features and Benefits
- High-pressure swivel facilities rotation while pumping high-rate completion and circulation fluids to improve cementing and hole-cleaning operations
- No welded connections on pressure or tensile-bearing components to ensure operational safety and reliability
- Upper and lower isolation valves provide high-pressure isolation of the swivel mandrel to improve well control and safety
- Upper isolation valve protects the top drive from corrosive or abrasive flow
- Drill pipe handling pups allow tool to be quickly rigged-up and rigged-down to save costly rig time
- Multiple pumping operations that require rotation can be performed without breaking flow lines to minimize trips to the derrick, improving safety and efficiency
- Two side port inlets available with 2” or 3” WECO connections
HD Top-Drive Swivel Features and Benefits:
- Redundant seals allow extended rotation compared to conventional side-entry swivels for high volume, long-duration displacement operations and improved reliability
