Services
As with any service company, Gilliss Power
Tongs relies heavily on our equipment, in addition to our
personnel, to ensure our success when it comes to performing
in the oil and gas industry. Our maintenance program and
our aggressive equipment replacement program allow us to
offer our customers quality equipment of any size needed
to complete the job. With more new equipment than any casing
service company in Southeast Saskatchewan, we are confident
that we have reduced the possibility of lost time due to
equipment failure.
We specialize in
- Surface Casing
- Intermediate Casing
- Production Casing
- And the running and retrieval of tubing and frac liners
Gilliss Power Tongs is implementing Air
slips for all strings of pipe ranging from 2 3/8”
to 7”. We believe that this method reduces pinch points
between the conventional slips and the elevators. As well,
we feel this will eliminate back injuries completely. All
pneumatically controlled units operate using rig air. The
slips can be manually operated if rig air pressure is lost.
Safety is further ensured by a positive locking mechanism
which locks the slips in the set position. Incidents have
occurred where pipe was lost down the hole due to both human
and mechanical error. The Type E pneumatic air slips, are
constructed in such a way that they can be opened &
closed to allow the pipe to be moved in either direction.
The slip body cannot be removed from the pipe unless the
gate is physically removed. This feature will prevent the
slips being removed from the rotary table, due to accidental
hoisting of casing; either by elevators catching the collar
while picking up the next joint, or if the pipe hydraulics.
