21 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 CASING SPECIALT I ES Committed to customer needs and with a finger on the pulse of the industry while remaining deeply rooted in technology, Volant’s capabilities derive from designing and manufacturing equipment and developing digital solutions that make casing system installation safer, easier, and more productive by removing people from harm’s way. Volant is also committed to advancing industry practices and is mindful of reducing environmental impacts during the well construction process and for the life of the well. Volant’s CRTi® and CRTe® casing running tools are fully mechanical and offer industry-leading capacity with the smallest footprint available for casing running or drilling operations. As mechanical tools installed on the top drive, they are fully controlled by the driller, require no one in the derrick, no additional personnel or auxiliary power, and present no pinch points at the rig floor. Not only do they remove people from the red zone during makeup operations, but they also remove the need for additional equipment with their ability to make up, break out, reciprocate, rotate, fill, circulate, and cement casing and liner strings. The simplified design minimizes resources for transportation and requires less rig idle time during rigging-in and removal of the tools. As a result, resources, emissions, and rig time needed to successfully complete casing and liner running operations are reduced. With superior technology, proven industry results, and a focus on getting the job done the first time, Volant continues to stand above the competition. ....................................

Over the years, the company has implemented technologies, policies, and procedures that assist with its one-rig-at- a-time approach. This approach has taken years to perfect, sometimes requiring the company to take one step forward and two backward. It’s been years of uncovering problems and eliminating them. And with the single-focus approach of one job at a time, the company can eliminate any possible setbacks before they happen. And it’s this attention to detail that they carry through the rig- up process and in the workshop. Casing Specialties also ensures that they do extensive research before arriving at a location. “If there are setbacks, it’s not good business, and when operations can exceed $3,000 an hour, making mistakes is not an option,” says Davis. The company’s management is well aware that technologies in the sector are changing every year, which means they are constantly reevaluating the efficiencies of their rigs. And that’s obvious when you compare the number of rigs they were operating in 2019, which was 50, to the 35 they are currently operating to produce the same volume. This need to continually hone and perfect has led to significant expansion and growth for the company in the last four to five years. As the company is primarily focused on tubular running services, being a part of the energy sector is exciting due to its constant evolution. But according to Davis, the real breakthrough came in 2008, Volant; providing industry-leading techniques with a commitment to responsible environmental practices
