About

Rugged, high-quality conductor and riser tension rings

Our field-proven riser tension rings are used by numerous operators around the world.

We were the original creators of the positive grip and slimline tension rings. Many competitors have tried to copy them since then, but the technical expertise that powers them can only be found within our company.

We engineer solutions to suit clients’ individual needs for push or pull application and have the capability to accommodate up to 400 tonnes in a suspended application. The positive grip design is preferred for most requirements, and our non-marking slips are a great solution for high-stress areas or where fatigue is a consideration.

Our tension rings can be dressed with slips for any non-standard pipe sizes, and we can also manufacture bespoke rings for project-specific applications.

We also offer a large fleet of rapid call-off tensioning equipment, along with full drilling riser systems up to 12,200 psi for HPHT applications, tension systems, crossovers, DSAs, overshots and other rental tools.

Positive grip tension rings

Positive grip tension rings use interchangeable machined slips and can be installed on slick pipes of all sizes, weights and grades. This saves rig time, eliminates ‘space out’ issues and removes the need for welding.

Positive grip slimline tension rings (next generation)

These time-saving slimline tension rings can be taken from a container directly onto the drill floor and attached to the riser. The riser and tension ring can then be run through the rotary table together, saving rig time.

The slimline tension ring maintains the rugged performance of more traditional designs despite being significantly smaller.
