SPHS
The Simultaneous Pipe Handling System (SPHS®) is a patented (applied for and published) tubular handling system that has the capability to handle drilling tubulars (drill pipe, drill collars and/or Hevi-Wate), casing, and drive pipe. The SPHS® has Online, Offline and Simultaneous (Online and Offline at the same time) tubular handling capability using one drawworks, one drillfloor, one rotary, and one derrick, which make it unique and thus patentable. The operator may solely use just the online feature or the offline feature by itself or operate both at the same time (simultaneous). Great effort was exerted to keep the SPHS® simple and to alleviate system complexity, so it requires minimal training and maintenance support. The SPHS® can be supplied as a complete system or each component may be purchased individually.
