TekMark - Down Hole Conversion of Lifter
Operation: Attach drop pipe to female pipe coupling welded to the top lifter bail and attach 1/8" cable to cable loop. You will need enough drop pipe and cable to reach the depth in the casing string where you wish to activate the lifter. The guide point will be on the tool when you get it. You will lower tool down the bore hold until the lifter cap assembly comes into contact with the casing. The lifter cap is the same size as the casing O.D. so it will not go inside of the casing. Once you are at rest in the casing you will push down on the drop pipe and then pull back.
This operation will cause the small hook on the lifter cap to disengage from the small horizontal bail. The lifter has an internal spring which forces the slips out to the casing wall. As you pull up on the drop pipe the lifter slips will push out harder and harder. The maximum capacity of the tool is 70,000 lbs., but the pull back limits will be determined by the strength of the drop pipe. Other options are available for this tool which can provide up to 70,000 lbs. pull back capacity. The price of this tool with the drop pipe configurations is $400.00 more than the normal Lifter Prices. Contact TekMark for pricing of other configurations.
The TekMark Heavy Duty Casing Lifter has a 140,000 lb capacity static load. This tool allows the driller to install casing without welding lugs onto casing and then having to cut the lugs off again. It saves both rig time and labor and is safer than conventional casing lifting methods. A Heavy Outy Casing Lifter can be converted to other sizes with the addition of a Conversion Kit (e.g. a 12 3/4" OD Lifter can be made to fit 16" Conversion Kit). The total f.o.b. price for a 12 3/4" 00 Lifter with a 16" Conversion Kit would be: ($10,312.00 + S3.194.00 = S13.506.00).
CASING LIFTER INSTRUCTIONS: PUSH DOWN ON BAIL AND UNLATCH THE HOOK FROM SIDE BAIL
(small hook will fall away automatically) TO RELEASE FROM TUBE OR CASING. To elevate casing push lifter into pipe and push firmly on main bail: the small latch will fall away (come unhooked). This will allow the internal spring in the lifter assembly to force the slip elements out to the casing wall. Now, as you pull up on the main bail, the lifter will expand out harder and harder on the casing wall. When you want to release the lifter take the weight off the casing string and push down on the main bail of the lifter and latch the small hook on the small side bail. This will hold the lifter in the release position and it can now be lifted out of casing in order to get the next piece of casing. The Tekmark Heavy Casing Lifter has a capacity of 70 tons static load, and an individual lifter can be converted from any size to another size with a "conversion kit" which Is composed of a different size wedge and a different diameter adapter plate.
