FAQ

Initiation & Requirements: What technical data and operational parameters do you need from us to start the design?

To initiate a bespoke design, Sub-drill requires detailed data regarding the tool or gasket’s operating environment and fluid characteristics. This includes maximum and minimum design temperatures, water depths, and the exact chemical composition of the wellbore fluids, particularly H2S and CO2 levels. These parameters are critical for selecting the correct metallurgy and elastomer compounds to prevent premature corrosion or stress cracking.

Additionally, clients must provide the exact physical and regulatory constraints of the project. This encompasses the mechanical load requirements—such as working pressures, bending moments, and tensile limits—alongside dimensional profiles of any existing mating equipment. Finally, specifying the required compliance frameworks, such as API 6A, API 17D, or independent third-party witnessing (e.g., Lloyd’s Register), ensures the final design is fully certified for immediate deployment.
