Pad-Eye Subs
Pad-Eye Handling Subs are heavy-duty cylindrical tools designed, engineered, and manufactured by Sub-drill for use in oil and gas drilling operations. They provide a secure and certified attachment point for lifting specialised downhole tools or heavy assemblies. These subs function by being screwed into the drill string, allowing a crane or other lifting equipment to safely raise or lower tools and equipment into or out of the Wellbore.
Sub-drill’s Pad-Eye Handling Subs are engineered for reliability and strength, manufactured from a single piece of high-quality steel to ensure maximum durability.
These subs are innovative tools specifically designed for use at the bottom of the drill string or top drive in oil and gas drilling operations. They play a crucial role in facilitating the precise lowering and maneuvering of tools or assemblies into place, which is essential for ensuring the efficiency and safety of drilling operations. Their robust construction ensures that they can withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in downhole environments.
