Volant Cementing Tools

The cementing tools of choice for a highly

effective and efficient cement job.
 Efficiency. Integrity. Simplicity.
A quality cement job is vital to ensuring uninterrupted zonal isolation and long
term well integrity. During the cementing operation, rotation and reciprocation of
the string has proven to be one of the most effective means of achieving uniform
cement distribution in the annulus, contributing to long term integrity of the well
and maintaining the intended zonal isolation cement provides. Volant cementing
equipment preserves the industry leading capacity of the Volant casing running
tools to rotate and reciprocate the casing string during cementing, enabling
uniform cement distribution, improving safety, and reducing operating costs.

The Choice is Yours.

The cementing process continues to be one of the most critical activities in the well construction process and
whether string rotation and manipulation is desired during cementing or a static cement job is being performed,
there is a need to perform each job safely, efficiently, and as cost effective as possible. Volant’s suite of cementing
equipment offers operators, drilling contractors, and service companies the flexibility they desire, providing
several options to streamline cementing processes while maintaining the highest standards of safety, efficiency,
and reliability. Used independently or in combination, the choice is yours to get the results you desire.

1 Volant Cement Swivel

Where pumping cement through the top drive is to be avoided, the Volant CST Cement Swivel provides a means to
introduce cement below the top drive and provides the option to rotate the casing string during cementing if desired.
The Volant CST allows cement to be pumped in through one, or both, of its dual side-entry ports and offers a 10,000 psi
pressure rating. With no welded joints and a robust seal design, the Volant CST offers a long wear life and reduced
maintenance requirements due in part to its self-cleaning internal geometry.

2 Volant Plug Launcher
Simplify operations and preserve cement continuity
by introducing the Volant PL Plug Launcher to
the stack. The Plug Launcher is installed above
the last joint of casing and enables the worry free
release of plugs through a patent pending radially
balanced collet release system, eliminating the
challenges of other pin or valve release systems.
The internal release sequence maintains continuous
flow between the bypass and release stage with
plug launch being verified through a mechanical
tattle-tale flag that indicates a positive release
every time. The release system uses a geared
mechanism for simplicity and reliability, eliminating
the risk of breakdown on the job. The tool can
be outfitted for a single or double-stage launch,
and its torque lock architecture facilitates simple
assembly, disassembly, and re-loading of plugs,
eliminating the requirement of a torque machine for
service. The entire assembly is contained in a flush
OD configuration, improving safety on the rig floor
during rotation and reciprocation.
3 Volant Inner-String Cement Tool
Volant’s CMT™ Inner-String Cement Tool attaches
to the end of the Volant CRTi® internal grip casing
running tool and enables inner-string cementing.
Installed at the end of the CRTi tool prior to casing
running, the CMT is designed to hoist the inner-
string and provide a sealed flow path for cement
to be delivered at the float shoe. The CMT has an
integral swivel that allows the casing running tool
to rotate the casing string while cementing with
minimal torque transfer to the inner-string, mitigating
the risk of connection back-off.

 CRTi®

Cementing your savings. Cement

Swivel
A perfect combination even in the
most challenging applications, Volant’s
combination of casing running tools and
cementing equipment provides solutions
and options to help reduce non-productive CRTi®
time from cementing operations.

Volant CRTi® and CRTe® casing running tools allow

customers to pump cement through the top drive and
through the bore of the tool, allowing full capability
of rotation and reciprocation of the casing string
during cementing operations without the need to rig in
additional equipment. This configuration is especially
beneficial where limited mast height prevents the
installation of additional cementing equipment. Cement
Swivel
For customers keen on avoiding cement being pumped
through the top drive, the Volant Cement Swivel can
be used to introduce cement below the top drive and
provides the option to rotate the casing string during
cementing if desired. Installed above, to eliminate the
need to rig in at a later time, or below the CRTi or CRTe
when the last joint of casing is set, the cement swivel
provides the best option for a successful cement job.

The Volant Plug Launcher is installed above the last

joint of casing, allowing you to maintain control over
Plug Plug
your well’s isolation and enabling the worry free release Launcher Launcher
of cement plugs. The plug launcher can be used
independently or in combination with the cement swivel
and the CRTi or CRTe. The choice is yours.
