company profile
"DRECO", the Derrick and Rig Equipment Company, began in 1973
designing and manufacturing drilling structures and equipment.
Products include derricks, masts, substructures and mud systems as
well as the DRECO machinery line.
DRECO has been involved with the oil exploration industry from the
jungle to the high Arctic. The first rig built was a helicopter
transportable unit for Petro-bras in Brazil. The second was a cold
weather rig built for BP SOHIO for drilling on the North Slope of
Alaska.
From the customer's point of view, DRECO has a twofold advantage.
DRECO can combine world class expertise in rig design with
knowledgeable in-house manufacturing. DRECO's initial and
continued success can be directly attributed to innovative design.
When undertaking the manufacture of a product, DRECO feels that
the product must have a high degree of engineering input or the
company becomes just another fabricator. The difference in our
manufacturing - the ability to make it work internationally, and to be
able to sell our products worldwide, is our engineering. Engineering
experience and product knowledge has led to the development of a
full range of drilling machinery and accessories.
Our DRECO Superior machinery line includes mud and well servicing
pumps, swivels, travelling blocks, drawworks, drive groups, Hy-vo
high speed drives, rotary tables and mud system components.
Unique rig moving systems for use on both land and offshore rigs
range from some of the most sophisticated wheeled desert rig
movers ever built to skid systems for land and offshore platforms.
To serve the offshore industry, DRECO offers derricks and masts for
drillships, semi-submersibles, jack-ups, drilling patforms and inland
barges. Completely enclosed derricks are in service on a number of
North Sea platforms. DRECO designs also include telescoping and
vertically assembled masts for use on offshore drilling and production
platforms. DRECO is authorized to use the official monogram of the American
Petroleum Institute on derricks, masts and substructures
DRECO's over-all in-house capabilities permit the design and manufactured in accordance with A.P.I, standard #4E, "Drilling and
manufacture of complete rig packages for both land and offshore rigs. Well Servicing Structures".
The ability to develop new concepts in rig packaging combines well
with our engineering and manufacturing expertise. DRECO is Specifications are subject to change without notice. Consult the

FACILITIES
In order to serve the industry more efficiently DRECO operates in
many areas. Manufacturing is undertaken in a variety of facilities in
both the United States and Canada, as well as internationally in the
United Kingdom, Finland, Italy and Brazil.
The DRECO philosophy of having a number of separate well
supervised manufacturing facilities each producing a product from
start to finish has fostered an excellent pride of workmanship. This
attitude results in high productivity by DRECO employees ensuring
timely deliveries of high quality products.

ENGINEERING
DRECO maintains an experienced staff of engineers and draftsmen
in both Houston, Texas and Edmonton, Alberta. Creativity in product
development is fostered by having two engineering groups working
on projects independently, and meeting regularly to exchange
ideas. The promixity of Houston and Edmonton to major oil interests
exposes both engineering groups to many points of view. Modern
communications by air, telex, telecopier, word processors and
computers permit DRECO to undertake design challenges in two
important centers while still maintaining a close working relationship
between the two groups.
DRECO has a completely open office and open shop policy.
Customers are encouraged to visit our engineering offices and seek
"step ahead solutions" in product design and rig packaging. Both
engineering departments strive to use the latest computer aids in
structural design. The advent of computer programs for rigid frame
analysis has allowed in depth structural member studies as well as
complete structure studies. All members in a mast or derrick are
analyzed for stress, deflection, and fixed end moments. The computer
aid permits viewing a mast or derrick in an exaggerated deflected
shape with the various operating loads and wind loads applied in all
probable combinations. This ability permits engineering personnel
to better understand the result loads have on the entire structure.

DRECO's ongoing programs to train and upgrade personnel in
basic skills plus to develop managerial and supervisory talents, has
enabled the company to distribute its manufacturing expertise
among all locations. DRECO is proud of the people that have
developed in the organization to permit expansion in these many
areas. Pride and enthusiasm will continue to ensure DRECO's
ability to satisfy our industry's demanding requirements.

FIELD SERVICES
DRECO has skilled field service representatives available based in
Houston and Edmonton plus Odessa, Texas; Lafayette, Louisiana
and Casper, Wyoming to undertake inspection and repairs in all parts
of the world. When repairs are required DRECO personnel understand
the sense of urgency.
If damage is minor, repair is undertaken in the field using the DRECO
representative and local tradesmen. When damage is extensive
local shops are used or damaged equipment is taken to a DRECO
facility. While DRECO facilities are primarily for manufacturing, they
are service centers when required. DRECO is well equipped to
handle emergency requirements. An attempt is made to keep
complete and semi-finished mast stems and derricks in inventory to
cope with any misfortune that may occur. DRECO field service and
engineering personnel will work closely with the customer to adapt a
stock mast to an existing structure.
DRECO engineering and field service personnel work closely together
in undertaking field modifications. Redesigns and refits have been
undertaken on many occasions.
Engineering, sales and service work hand in hand. DRECO personnel
are prepared to help, worldwide.

step ahead solutions

DRECO has successfully met the challenges of the Arctic both
offshore and onshore. A leadership role in cold weather rig design
has provided DRECO with a wealth of experience and knowledge
ranging from the development and implementation of year-round
offshore cold weather drilling and production rig systems to the
creation of completely self contained modular moving and support
systems for onshore applications.
Some major concerns when developing an arctic drilling or
production rig are: limited space availability; storage of consumable
supplies; and the high costs of fuel.
To produce a cost effective product, some of the planning
techniques utilized by DRECO are:
WASTE HEAT RECOVERY
DRECO heating systems are designed to provide a minimum of two
sources of heat in all areas. Both direct heating and equipment
waste heat recovery systems are utilized. Our experience has shown
that in some cases the entire rig, excluding start-up requirements,
can be heated using only recovered waste heat. DRECO designs a
work environment which is conducive to greater safety and
productivity as well as cost effective for the operator.
for the Arctic
substructure to follow the ice movement allows the rig to remain
within the 5% limit or directly over the hole.
DRECO ice island rigs are designed to be fully Hercules Aircraft
transportable. The DRECO Slingshot substructure lends itself quite
well to this application.
DRECO built the first successful wheeled rig to operate on the north
slope of Alaska. The rig was designed in 1975 by DRECO in
conjunction with the operator. The unit consisted of eight wheeled
complexes. The wheel units were hydraulically raised and lowered
and each complex was pulled to a new well site along a gravel pad
by a single D9 Caterpiller. Each well move required only eight hours
from release to spud.
DRECO has improved on the initial design with a succession of
wheel mounted rigs. Each new unit consists of fewer complexes
and moves faster.
To date, DRECO has developed the most efficient rigs on the North
Slope of Alaska.

MOVING SYSTEMS
A DRECO moving system that has proven successful in the Arctic
offshore is hydraulic skidding or jacking. An example of this type of
system was incorporated on Canmar's CBIR # 2.
The rig complex, the first of its kind, was manufactured and
completely test-assembled at our Edmonton rig-up yard before
shipment to the Arctic. The unit is now successfully drilling in the
Beaufort Sea to depths of 7,620 meters.
Movement from well to well is accomplished with hydraulic jacks
and skid beams. The jacking system allows the entire rig to be
moved as one unit to any of eight well locations.
An adaption of the hydraulic skidding or jacking system has been
designed and used by DRECO to compensate for circular ice
movement when operating on a land locked ice island.
Initial solutions used to combat this movement was to use a riser
pipe with flexible joints. This would only allow the horizontal motion to
be 5% of the total water depth. If this 5% was exceeded, operations
would cease. DRECO's solution of hydraulically jacking the

DRECO built rigs have surpassed most of the records for drilling
and moving on the North Slope. Typical north slope operator's
specifications require a rig to drill on multi-well gravel pads with a
sixty to one hundred foot spacing between wells. The rig must be
able to move from well to well in either direction and move from pad
to pad in less than 48 hours.
New generation DRECO rigs average two hours from release to spud
for wells in any location on the pad and moves from pad to pad in
six to eight hours. That is 1/6th the time requirement of forty-eight
hours. The rig moves on a total of sixty-four wheels. Well to well
moves are completed with no third party equipment being used as
one set of wheels on each complex are powered hydraulically
through planetary drives. Steering is also hydraulically controlled and
braking system is provided with each set of drive wheels. The drive
system moves the four complexes (pipe shelter, subtransporter, mud
complex and support complex) simultaneously from well to well.
This arrangement minimizes outdoor disconnects and speeds up the
move.
1647
The four-complex wheel mounted design was constructed at a
better cost than any rig of its type. The rig also holds records for
mobilization and transportation. Because of the modular
construction, an operator can use cheaper labour to assemble the
four major components or disassemble for transportation. The next
generation of north slope rigs will consist of only two modules.
Construction is expected to be complete by 1986.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION:
To maximize space utilization, DRECO uses modular type
construction techniques, a concept developed for the Arctic by
DRECO.
Each module is designed for quick and efficient assembly,
disassembly and easy loading onto trucks, islands, barges, cassons,
etc. They also lend themselves to transportation by Hercules
Aircraft.
The modules are designed to be placed side by side or stacked.
Major equipment is located within each module and does not need
to be removed during transportation. Good modular design minimizes
rig-up time, labour, third party equipment and connections between
modules. Considering manpower and machine capabilities at low
temperatures, this type of construction is "cost effective".
1648
DRECO is a leader in the desert with several "firsts" in rig design
and desert moving systems such as our new Sandmaster rigs. The
DRECO designed and built Sandmaster is a new concept in desert
workover and shallow drilling. The units use axles and tires from a
well known desert workhorse, the Kenworth Super 953 winch truck.
The rigs boast the following features:
• An integral substructure - open on three sides.
• An integral hydraulic system - no hydraulic hoses have to be
disconnected, including hydraulic B.O.R lines.
• An integral mud pump - mounted on the carrier deck.
• Both the accumulator and choke manifold are mounted on the
carrier deck.
• A free standing mast - no guy lines.
• All wheels drive - both front and back.
• A B.O.P./wellhead handling system - integral with the substructure.
• No rig ramp is required.
• Levelling and alignment problems are eliminated through use of the
free standing mast and integral substructure.
Bandmasters are successfully operating in the deserts of North
Africa.
DRECO designed and built a special rig moving system, for Sedco,
Oman, which allows the 1500 HP mechanical land rig mast,
substructure, engine foundation and drilling machinery to be moved
step ahead solutions
for the desert
in one piece. This concept features a balanced suspension that limits
the strain on the substructure when moving over uneven terrain.
The DRECO "Slingshot" substructure shown has been equipped for
desert use. The unit has a three fold advantage over conventional
systems. (If not already familiar with the DRECO "Slingshot" please
refer to page 1658 of this catalog.)
The "Slingshot" substructure allows the rig to be moved as one
piece; with the mast and substructure erect as shown; or with the
substructure down and the mast erect to lower the overall height or
with both the substructure and mast in the down position.
The DRECO desert "Slingshot" provides flexibility to suit all move
conditions with minimal rig up or rig down.
Effective solutions require investigative and technical discussions.
Field visits are required to achieve the desired results for the client.

MODULERIZED WORKOVER PLATFORMS
DRECO is a leader in the development of offshore workover rigs.
We have designed, fabricated, test assembled and installed more
than a dozen units from the North Sea to the coast of New Zealand.
These units are designed to be used for completion in conjunction
with a drilling rig or by themselves as a workover rig. They are of
modular construction and load weights are limited to the capacity of
the cranes on the platform.
Platform well to well moves average one to two hours. This includes
moving the rig (15 minutes), killing the well and nippling up.
Platform to platform moves average three and one half days.
Features of DRECO Modular Platform Rigs are:
step ahead solutions
for offshore workover
• The mast is free standing and does not require guy lines.
• The mast is raised with drawworks power and does not require
hydraulic raising cylinders.
• The mast has a unique design which allows it to be folded in two
with the platform crane. This reduces the deck space required
when moving from one group of wells to the other.
• The mast includes a rail guided travelling block. This prevents
unwanted motion due to wind gusts.
• The rotary table is mounted, integral on the drawworks skid,
eliminating the need for realignment during moves.
• The engine to drawworks connection is a Spicer drive shaft
eliminating critical alignment.
• The racking board and working floor have all-weather wind breaks.

Beam leg masts permit a wider size range without the necessity of
using extremely high strength steel in the main legs. The advantage
is that for the largest masts field repair or additions can take place
using conventional low hydrogen welding practices. DRECO beam
leg masts reduce to a smaller cube for rig moves. A special feature
is that one end of each member in the back face of the mast
remains pinned, assisting in reassembly. The reduced cube is
particularly important for export or for long inland moves.

BOX STYLE SUBSTRUCTURES
DRECO box style substructures are available to accommodate
cantilever masts with capacities in standard configuration to
1,000.000* casing capacity, with 600,000* simultaneous pipe
setback capacity. They are designed to accommodate the specific
drawworks, drive group, pump drive, and rotary table the customer
desires. Step downs to provide a flush floor with the drawworks
installed and built-up flooring on either end of drawworks skids are
standard. Step down engine foundations are designed to place the
drive group at a lower elevation to reduce the length of pump
drives. Vertical extensions to provide additional clearance for
blow-out preventers are furnished to suit requirements.
Cross crimped gauge plate winterizing can be provided to enclose
the substructure to suit rigs operating in cold climates.

RAISED FLOOR
The DRECO drawworks elevator design utilizes a DRECO high floor
cantilever mast, in which the mast pins at the 5Tt. elevation. The
raised floor design incorporates features unique in the industry, and
is most used with 1,500 H.P. and larger drawworks where floor
heights of 25 ft. and above are required. The drawworks, rotary
table, rotary chain and guard, flooring, windwalls and doghouse are
all assembled and installed at the 5 ft. elevation. The elevator is
raised with two hydraulic winches, furnished by DRECO,
permanently mounted in the substructure using the power long
hydraulic source or an optional built-in hydraulic power source. No
personnel ride the elevator up to the working floor level, a very
important safety feature. The elevator linkage remains intact during
rig moves. The drawworks elevator side girders pin to the main
substructure girders for moving. The windwalls and pipe ramp may
be installed on the setback spreader prior to raising. No A-leg
spreader is required. On field moves the rear A-leg folds into the
drawworks elevator side girder. This design offers time saving rig-up
and safety unique in the industry for raised floor designs.

slingshot substructures
The slingshot substructure is a unique design which was introduced
by DRECO and has proven to be very popular in both domestic and
international service. By combining a self-elevating drill floor with a
cantilever floor mount mast the slingshot concept is ideal for use
with both large and small drawworks requiring floor heights from
12 to 40 feet.
All installation and rig up is done at ground level. The mast,
drawworks, rotary and rotary drive, doghouse, engines (either
mechanical or electric), flooring and handrails are installed at
ground level. The mast is pinned and raised upright while the rig
remains at ground level. The completed rig floor is then elevated to
drilling position.

FEATURES:
Dreco unitized drawworks, in sizes up to 1000 UE, feature a flush
floor with no rotary drive chain case intrusions on the rig floor. An
integral drillers back up post is standard and an integral hydraulic
break out device for large drill collars is optional.
Dreco water unions employ rubber lip type seals with stainless steel
garter springs running on a hard chrome plated and ground tube.
Water spears, where employed, are stainless steel.
Dreco drawworks in sizes up to 1000 UE are usually furnished with
optional air or hydraulic tuggers and a survey line unit integrally
mounted. D C electric drive motors drive directly into the
transmission input shaft through a coupling, rather than through an
extr,a chain creating an overhung load on the motor shaft. The
inertia brake clutch drum is attached to the electric motor stub shaft.
1665
drawworks features
All grease points on Dreco drawworks are well marked. Wherever
practical centralized panels of alemite fittings are employed.
Dreco drum brakes have superior holding qualities and provide
excellent "feel" in the brake handle for drillers. The 300 degree
wrap, double roller release, fully equalized, adjustable brake bands
are actuated by a compound angle linkage which increases the
driller's mechanical advantage as the brake handle moves through
its operating arc. All Dreco drawworks are equipped with Lebus
grooving for good wireline spooling characteristics. Dreco
drawworks drums are dynamically balanced and the brake rims
finished ground to round to ensure even and positive braking.
Dreco drawworks, drive groups and transmissions employ alloy
steel oil quenched and tempered shafts with ground bearing fits.
All sprockets are hobbed and the wear points are flame hardened.
Spherical roller bearings are used on all shafts with straight roller
bearings in spider assemblies, and non-adjustable tapererd
roller bearings on live sprockets in transmissions. Shafts are
independently assembled using parts that have passed the quality
control and inspection departments.
1666

DRECO drawworks, in sizes 1000M to 4000E are skidded in the
the conventional manner with the drawworks main skid members
running in a direction from the drillers to off drillers side. Drawworks
from 1000M through 2000E are true one-piece drawworks with the
rotary counter shaft assembly mounted on the main frame rather
than on a demountable front section or "front porch", thus, reducing
assembly time, total drawworks weight and the number of pieces to
be handled during a rig move. The rotary counter shaft is driven
from the jackshaft, hence, the high drawworks drum drive chain
does not run loaded during the drilling operations. The 3000E and
4000E drawworks are used with an independently driven rotary.
Mechanical drawworks have six hoisting speeds and three rotary
speeds to give a smooth hoisting curve with or without torque
converters, and to permit a selection of rotary speeds when
compound driving the rotary and mud pumps. Reverse gear is
provided in the "M" drawworks to permit rotating to the left and for
slipping drill line.
drawworks
The DRECO electric motor driven drawworks, in sizes 1000E
through 4000E, have four hoisting speeds and two rotary speeds to
provide a smooth hoisting curve and table speed selection with the
torque/speed characteristics of DC electric motors. Reverse gear is
provided electrically.
Both low and high drum clutches are large air-operated friction plate
clutches. The low drum clutch on all DRECO drawworks including
the largest, the 4000E, will permit pulling full rated hook load.
The jaw clutch provided on the 3000E and 4000E is strictly a back
up for the low drum drive air clutch in the event of air clutch failure.
An optional emergency load drum jaw clutch is available in
drawworks sizes from 1 DOOM to 2000E.
DRECO drawworks, equipped with an electric auxiliary brake, use
spline clutches for engagement, while an overrunning clutch is
installed when a hydromatic brake is specified.

rotary drives, gear box

ROTARY DRIVES
DRECO independent rotary drives use Morse Hy-Vo chain to allow
the full speed range of either GE 752 or EMD D79 electric motors to
be used. The drive ratio of 1.8:1 permits high rotary speeds to be
achieved and as well utilize the torque developed by the electric
motor efficiently during normal drilling operations eliminating the
need for a two speed gear box in most applications. The drives use
11/2" pitch 21 tooth and 38 tooth sprockets and HV 1220 Hy-Vo
chain. The rotary drives are equipped with an 18CB500 inertia
brake mounted on the motor and a pressure fed lubrication system.
They are available as a conventional in-line independent drive or
packaged incorporating the rotary beams, Iron Roughneck mount
and/or mounts for hydraulic catheads. DRECO will work closely with
your rotary table supplier and substructure supplier to customize the
installation to suit particular needs.
GEAR BOX
The DRECO drawworks drive gear box is unique in that right angle
power transfer, rotary speed reduction and reversal, rotary clutch
spider, and oil pressure fed lubrication system to all bearings are
provided in a single unit. The gear box is normally supplied with
output shaft extensions to drive the drawworks drum off the off
driller's side and the sandreel and catheads off the driller's side.
The right angle is through hardened spiral bevel gears, and the
rotary drive through a hardened helical gear set. The oil pump is
internally chain driven off the output shaft with an oil pressure
gauge to permit monitoring of lubrication. All shafts are from
SAE 4140 heat treated material. Input shaft bearings are double
Timken with straight roller at the pinion end. The output shaft runs
on spherical roller bearings. The rotary drive shaft has spherical
bearings on the input end and straight roller bearings on the output
side with straight roller bearings in the rotary spider. The gear box is
of heavy steel plate construction to minimize distortion in service.

HIGH-TORQUE ROTARY DRIVE

DRECO has answered a need for rotary systems that can be used in
high-torque applications such as drilling highly deviated holes.
The equipment itself is not new; but the innovative arrangement is.
High-torque gear boxes, designed by DRECO, are added to increase
the overall ratio at the table. Consequently, the rotary drive
components do not undergo additional loading and can remain
standard. DRECO designed-and-built high-torque rotary systems are at work in
the North Sea.
The system can also be used on any manufacturer's existing table
with only one pinion. Again, table torque is increased without Standard parts for cost-effective flexibility. The solutions

Abcor Pumps

Abcor 5 x 6 and 6 x 8 pumps incorporate the use of polyurethane

lined casings and impellers that greatly extend the life of the liquid
ends and retain high efficiencies. The semi-open style impeller,
used in all of Abcor's horizontal pumps, has pumping blades on the
suction side and expelling blades of a greater diameter on the drive
side. The difference in the diameter of the expelling blades introduces
enough extra centrifugal force on the drive side to form an air seal
at the gland area, thus preventing the pump from leaking while in
operation. The impellers are keyed to the shaft and a lock nut
design prevents any damage encountered by improper driver rotation
or back pressure from discharge lines. A hardened metal or alloy
replaceable shaft sleeve is used to prevent packing wear from
damaging the shaft. The bearing assemblies for both the 5 x 6 and
6 x 8 pumps are totally interchangeable and are available in either
grease or oil lubrication. External pump casings and housing are
made of ductile iron, which allows for heavy duty construction and an
overall lightweight. Abcor's overall dimensions permit easy installation
on existing systems, normally without'modifications.

Impeller — Semi-open design and polyurethane covered

for longer service life. Keyed and locked on shaft.
Impeller Expelling Vanes — Creates a stuffing box seal
while packing area remains at atmospheric pressure.
Replaceable Shaft Sleeve — Hardened metal or alloy
to suit service.
Bearing Assembly — Grease or oil lubricated, adjustable
to compensate for wet end wear.
Bearings — Heavy duty, designed for 125 HP service.

Packing Gland — Prevents leakage when pump is not

operating.
Replaceable Casing Liners — Polyurethane heavy
duty liners for longer service life.
