Abstract: A casing running tool is provided, including one or more sensors built into the casing running tool; an electronics housing that includes one or more power sources for powering the one or more sensors; one or more circuit boards for converting sensor data for transmission and transmission means for transmitting sensor data. The one or more sensors sense tool status and operational parameters of the casing running tool. A system is also provided for detection, processing and transmission of one or parameters of tool status and operational status of a casing running tool or associated tools in a casing installation or casing while drilling operation. The system includes a casing running tool; and a processor for receiving sensor data for processing and transmitting processed data in real-time for viewing by an operator. A method is further provided for performing a casing installation or casing while drilling operation.

Abstract: A casing running tool is provided. The casing running tool includes one or more sensors built into the casing running tool; an electronics housing that includes one or more power sources for powering the one or more sensors; one or more circuit boards for converting sensor data for transmission and transmission means for transmitting sensor data. The one or more sensors sense tool status and operational parameters of the casing running tool including axial load, axial position, torque, turns, internal mud pressure, hook load, tension, rotation speed, rotational position, vibration, alignment, X, Y, Z acceleration and temperature. A system is also provided for detection, processing and transmission of one or parameters of tool status and operational status of a casing running tool or associated tools in a casing installation or casing while drilling operation.

Abstract: A method is provided for remote monitoring, decision making and operation of one or more parameters of on-site well operation equipment. The method includes collecting data corresponding to the at least one parameter by one or more on-site sensor modules assigned to the equipment for monitoring joint make-up of tubing and casing connections; transmitting the collected data to an on-site make-up monitoring system; transmitting said collected data from the on-site make-up monitoring system to a cloud or edge-based system for storage, display and analysis; accessing collected day by one or more users via one or more dedicated remote portals for review or analysis; and transmitting instructions from any one or more users via the remote portal and cloud or edge-based system back to the on-site make-up monitoring system for modifying the operation of the equipment within predefined limits.

Abstract: A tubular gripping die is presented, the die comprising one or more axial load teeth and one or more torqueing teeth. A method of manufacturing a tubular gripping die is also presented. The method includes forming one or more axial load teeth extending from a base of the die; forming one or more torqueing teeth extending from the base of the die; and defining a gripping front face of the die, at least a portion of the gripping front face having a concave curvature to align with an outside diameter of the tubular to be gripped. The portion of the gripping front face formed with the curvature comprises any one of said axial load teeth, said torqueing teeth or both. A method of making up a tubular string from a plurality of tubular joints is also presented. A tubular handing tool comprising one of more tubular gripping dies, each die comprising one or more axial load teeth and one or more torqueing teeth arranged thereon.
