WorkTech™ Joints

WorkTech™ Joints are specialty slick tubulars designed to be run through elastomers and sealing elements without causing damage, allowing for seamless movement through the closed annular BOP, including during frac operations to manipulate a frac tool or other components within the string. These are used for managed pressure drilling (MPD) operations through the rotating head to prevent elastomer wear.

JetString™ Sub

Our patented JetString™ Subs are an enhanced jetting sub-assembly offering directional jetting and configuration flexibility that can be adjusted on location to match operational needs. It can be run in a drill string or in conjunction with our Bullnose Sub, which can also have the nose nozzle optimized or blocked off for flexibility while cleaning.

Side Entry Pump-in Sub (SEPI)

It’s critical that your SEPI sub has the tensile capacity to support the weight of the full workstring. Our in-house finite element analysis (FEA) ensures that our subs meet your design criteria. 

Custom Crossovers

Our custom crossovers are tailored to specific requirements to provide seamless integrity of the entire drilling assembly. We can design them to mate with casing, flanges and other drill string components to meet your needs.

Real Results, Real Feedback

“Our team has been working on a new system to capture and dispose of proppant and fluids. Although Workstrings’ role was only a part of the overall solution, they provided us with the specialized discharge equipment and services we needed to avoid the costly process of proppant capture. We’re grateful for their support and expertise in helping us bring this concept to life.”
