Top-Co is Innovative and Solutions Driven
Available 24 – 7, Top-Co's specialized product and technical support platform is populated with professionals possessing years of downhole engineering, manufacturing and service experience in our niche industry.
Research and Development
Top-Co’s responsive research and development team offers expertise in efficiently customizing and testing tools for unique cementing applications, often in response to operating problems encountered by customers. The engineering team has developed and tested torque and drag solutions for horizontal, directional and extended reach wells. Sophisticated software is available in real time to design optimum centralization for all well profiles. Design engineers employ electronic design media and 3D modeling to facilitate precise and expeditious designs. Systematic in-house dynamic testing and operational simulations validates performance of all new, standard or modified products prior to field introduction.
A proprietary purpose designed flow loop test facility is one of the unique quality assurance pillars at Top-Co. This facility is utilized to dynamically test float equipment, stage cementing tools, cementing plugs, etc: new; re-designed; and tool incident analysis. Testing closely simulates actual well conditions including usage of drilling mud and other variables to ensure compliance with API Recommended Practice 10F testing procedures, including test category IIIC. All tool test data is electronically captured and graphed for client usage.
