Casing Running Tools (CRTe -1.0)
Casing Running Tool with External Grip (CRTe™)
Volant’s CRTe is designed for casing drilling or running with top drive equipped rigs to makeup, breakout,
reciprocate, rotate, ll/circulate, and cement casing and liner strings, reducing non productive time and
associated costs. This tool is mechanically activated in tension and both rotational directions solely by top
drive control using TAWG™ (Torque Activated Wedge Grip) technology.
This patented architecture puts control in the hands of the driller, reducing the need for third party support
to run casing. Simple intuitive operating steps for pipe engagement and release closely emulate the familiar
make and break steps used to run drill pipe—stab, rotate to the right to engage and reverse to disengage.
Similarly, rig-in and rig-out steps are simple, intuitive and efcient.
Starting from the base bell diameter, selectable sizes of jaws/dies are used to congure the CRTe to support
gripping casing of decreasing external diameter.

1 Tool hoist rating is based on API Specication 8C; however, casing load limit may be further
constrained by local interaction of slip dies with casing.
2 Capacity ratings provided represent design intent. These values may change pending
outcome of design verication testing.
3 Torque capacity may be limited by slip die/casing interaction.
4 CRTe circulation pressure capacity is generally governed by packer cup pressure capacity.
Pressure capacity may be less than indicated if alternative seal arrangements are used.
5 CRTe hoist capacity must be reduced by the pressure end load during circulation.
6 Values given are valid for all pipe weights specied in API Specication 5CT.
