Float Collar

Float Collar is installed one to three joints above the float or guide shoe and serves as a landing seat for both the bottom and top cementing plugs during cementing operations. The bottom plug is pumped ahead of the cement slurry, while the top plug seals against the collar to stop fluid flow and prevent over-displacement of cement. The space between the float shoe and float collar traps contaminated fluids, ensuring a clean cement bond at the shoe. Equipped with a high-performance backpressure valve, the Float Collar provides reliable fluid control, prevents cement backflow, and enhances overall well integrity.

Types

  • Single Valve Float Collar
  • Double Valve Float Collar
  • Non-Rotating Float Collar
  • Stab-In Type Float Collar
  • Side Jet, Up-Jet, Down Jet Float Collar

Feature

  • Design is particularly suited to vertical, horizontal and deviational wells.
  • NR Valve is designed for HPHT conditions.
  • Floats are spring-loaded, poppet-type valve or flapper type.
  • Floats are available with single or double poppet valve.
  • The float shoe also guides the casing toward the centre of the hole to minimize hitting rock ledges or washouts as the casing is run into the wellbore.

Available sizes 4 ½” to 20” and any special sizes can be custom made as required.

Float Shoe

Float Shoe is installed at the bottom of the casing string and features a high-performance backpressure valve that prevents formation fluids from entering the casing while running into the well. It also stops cement from flowing back after placement, ensuring reliable one-way fluid control. Designed to facilitate smooth circulation through the casing, the Float Shoe improves cementing efficiency and helps achieve a strong, secure cement bond.

Guide Shoe

Guide Shoe is installed on the bottom joint of the casing string to guide the casing smoothly through the wellbore during running operations. Commonly used with a Float Collar, it supports efficient cementing by allowing unrestricted passage of conversion balls, darts, tubes, and debris through its full-bore design. Its rounded profile minimizes hang-ups, improves running performance, and helps ensure successful casing installation.

Feature

  • Rounded cement bull nose allows for smooth running and provides the ability to guide past ledges Composite eccentric nose available
  • Load bearing capability for setting on bottom
  • Guide Shoe is PDC drillable
  • Side ports
  • Down-jets

Available sizes 4 ½” to 20” and any special sizes can be custom made as required.

Reamer Shoe

Reamer Shoe is specially designed for challenging well conditions, including severe doglegs, high build-rate, and extended horizontal wells. It features Cut-Rite carbide cutting inserts that effectively remove obstructions while running casing. The tapered composite nose, along with high-port jet options, improves wellbore cleaning by removing filter cake and debris, ensuring smooth casing installation and enhanced cementing performance.
