Standardized CRT Redress

Keeping Casing Runs Consistent in the Field

Casing running tools take a lot of abuse in the field. Heat, load, vibration, contamination, and handling all add up over the course of a job. If that wear isn’t addressed consistently, it shows up where it matters most, on the rig floor.

ProTorque’s CRT redress program is designed to eliminate variability between runs by returning every tool to a known baseline before it goes back to work. The focus is simple: predictable performance, fewer interruptions, and safer casing operations.

Every CRT that comes into the shop follows the same controlled process. Tools are fully torn down, cleaned, inspected, and measured against defined acceptance criteria. Components that fall outside spec are replaced. Critical assemblies are rebuilt using standardized parts and documented torque values. Each tool is pressure tested and function checked before release.

This level of consistency matters during casing operations. A tool that behaves differently from one run to the next forces crews to troubleshoot under load, slows connections, and increases exposure. Standardized redress reduces those variables so crews can focus on making pipe, not chasing equipment issues.

The program also supports ProTorque’s digital QA workflows. Consistent tool behavior produces cleaner torque data and more reliable run reports. When torque curves look off, supervisors can trust that the tool isn’t the unknown in the equation.

Redress records are logged and tied to tool IDs, creating a clear maintenance history that informs future inspections and helps identify patterns before they become problems. On location, crews perform a simple acceptance check before the first lift to confirm condition and configuration.

ProTorque’s CRT redress standards are used across Western Canada and US operations, supporting casing programs in Alberta, British Columbia, and the Permian Basin. Whether the job is a single well or a multi-well pad, the expectation is the same: tools that show up ready and perform the same way every time.
