Frank's International provides the broadest range of tubular technologies for drilling and completions worldwide.

Frank's International has a competitive edge in the execution of virtually any tubular application because of the company's broad range of capabilities, including:

Casing crews and tools, Tubing services, CRA specialty services, Large OD pipe and fabrication, Conductor installation, Primary cementing products, Riser fabrication, installation, and repair, Engineering and R&D.

To be the Best... We build our Own! The Casing Services Division represents the core of FI's operations. In order to follow through on our commitment to deliver quality and dependable service, we began to design and manufacture our own equipment simply because the "off-the-shelf" tools available would not meet our criteria for ruggedness or dependability. From power tongs, handling tools to pickup/laydown services, Frank's designs, and manufactures the right tool for the job to improve our performance and your efficiency. We are proud of the innovative approaches that we have made solving both old and new problems associated with running and handling of casing and tubing.

Taking Torque-Turn Technology Into the Future

Beginning in the early 1970's, Technical Tubular Services' original focus was torque turn and connection analyzed makeup. Capitalizing on the experiences of field personnel and engineering resources, Technical Tubular Services expanded its scope and developed this specialized technology and designed the corresponding handling equipment.

Today, Technical Tubular Services has evolved into a highly versatile division capable of handling the full spectrum of a customer's typical or complex completions.

Maximum Efficiency, Reliability, Versatility and Safety

Frank's International offers the following specialized tools and equipment for increasing safety and efficiency during the running/pulling of drill pipe, drill collars, BHA's and other drilling equipment:

PIPE WRANGLER & HAWKJAW - Both are new technology that create a safer work environment by eliminating manual equipment and fewer personnel on the rig floor during running/pulling operations.

PIPE WRANGLER BHA SYSTEM - Designed for the horizontal make-up and break out of BHA's and drill bits which normally require significantly higher torques.

WASP - The WASP is an air actuated drill pipe spider, used in running and pulling drill pipe, drill collars, BHA's and other drilling equipment. This spider is adaptable to any size drilling equipment and any rotary table.

Frank's DeepWater Team is dedicated to developing the advances needed for safer and deeper operations.

Frank's DeepWater Team is composed of knowledgeable engineers, application experts, and quality assurance specialists carefully selected for their long experience in a wide variety of offshore applications. Among the team's accomplishments are significant improvements in the fabrication, packaging and installation of riser systems for both drilling and completion programs.

In essence, this team can provide complete riser, standard and customized accessories, specialized handling equipment and techniques, and on-site personnel to ensure successful installations for any deepwater program, including:

All Points Equipment Co., L. P. renovation/repair of risers and floatation modules.

Specialized welding and fabrication of risers for deep,high-fatigue applications.

Internal weld-profile control and video inspection.

Frank's large-diameter Power Tongs in sizes through 24" OD.

Frank's RS-250 Rotary Spider, which replaces the master bushing and fits flush in a standard API 27-1/2" table (2-3/8" through 7-5/8").

Frank's handling equipment for completion risers and tubing with the most experienced personnel in the industry.

Everything you need for a successful conductor installation

Frank's International ranks as one of the largest hammer operators in the oil and gas industry, and its inventory of diesel hammers is the largest in the world. These are powerful hammers with diesel models ranging from D12 through D100 and the hydraulic S90 hammers capable of generating 22,500 to 300,000 ft/lbs of energy.

Also available for fast delivery from Frank's service centers are:

Conductor pipe (14" to 96" OD)

Whipstock accessories, including deviated conductors and drive shoes.

All necessary support equipment, including those for marine conductor, surface casing and pile-driving applications.

Getting it right, Right from the start.

Frank's International is engineering a new generation of tools and equipment designed not only to ensure successful cementing operations but also significantly decreasing running times.

(Fill-Up and Cementing Tool System) - Combines the functions of several tools into one, easy to handle unit. This versatile tool permits cementing to commence immediately after its use as a Fill-Up tool during casing running.

FC-1 & FC-2 Fill-Up & Circulating Tool w/Sliding Sleeve - Similar to FACTS™ except that it is not equipped for cementing. FC-1/FC-2 delivers the safest and most efficient method of both fill-up and circulation while running casing.

SHARK BITE™ - An anti-rotational device used when drilling out cementing plugs. Virtually eliminates the need for anti-rotational float equipment.

Antelope Oil Tool & Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Produces some of the most proven primary cementing tools in the industry (centralizers, cement baskets, stop collars and other related casing attachments). Continual advances in product design, manufacturing processes, and a stringent Quality Control/Quality Assurance program (ISO 9001, API Q-1 Spec.10-D) assure that Antelope equipment will consistently be the best in the industry.

Custom engineering and design services you can trust

Franks has two engineering groups: Design and Application Support. Although each has separate responsibilities, the two collaborate on customer projects with a single goal: to maximize operational efficiencies while minimizing safety risks.

These groups are staffed with professionals in multi-disciplines and are available for custom engineering and design services using Frank's state-of-the-art laboratories and testing facilities. Among the services available are:

Development of new tools to satisfy customer parameters, Modify existing tools and equipment to enhance performance, Testing (laboratory and simulated well environments), Feasibility studies, Training of rig personnel

SAFETY - our single most important service

Despite annual increases in the number of man-hours worked, Frank's International's safety record continues to excel thanks to a team approach that places responsibility for each person's safety on teammates as well as the individual.

Tough drug policies, specialized training, communication, low personnel turnover and overall safety awareness are the reasons for our success.

Personnel are given hands-on training at the Frank's Safety Training rig in Lafayette, Louisiana and Great Yarmouth, England. A 4,000' test well with a 400' horizontal section allows casing and tubing to be tripped in and out of the hole, as well as R&D of new equipment and procedures.

Franks International is committed to providing its customers with the best quality service and the safest workforce in the industry. franks international tubular technologies drilling and completions, franks international tubular technologies drilling and completions, franks international tubular technologies drilling and completions.
