Knowledge-Based Firm Indigenizes Top Drive Systems for Deep Drilling

A knowledge-based company, based in Tehran’s Shamsabad Industrial Town, has indigenized a top drive system (TDS) that is used to drill oil and gas wells to the depth of 4,000 meters, head of the board of directors at Taksaz Industrial Innovators Engineering Company (TIECO), a subsidiary of Talashgaran Eghtesad Paydar Company, said.
“Six top drives have been delivered to the National Iranian Drilling Company and they are operating flawlessly,” Abbasali Gorji told ISNA.
Used to rotate the drill string during the drilling process, the TIECO’s top drives can be used not only for onshore but also for offshore drilling operations.
