Drilling Spool Used For

API 16A drilling spool is a pressure-bearing equipment designed and manufactured according to API specification 16A. It is an important equipment specially used for oil drilling. It has end connections and outlets for connecting the blowout preventer and the wellhead, or as a gasket or cross piece between the blowout preventer and the casing head. The drilling spool is stacked between drilling equipment to separate two components with the same size end connections. Its main function is to connect multiple drilling mechanical equipment such as wellhead equipment, drilling pipes and drilling tools to form a complete oil and gas well development pipeline system to achieve smooth drilling of oil and gas wells during drilling.

It has the advantages of strong structure, good explosion-proof performance, high temperature and pressure resistance, and easy maintenance. It can work normally in harsh geological environments and complex engineering logging conditions. It is an indispensable and important part of the oil and gas development field.

The existence of the drilling spool is conducive to improving drilling efficiency and reducing downhole stress, and it can also achieve efficient utilization of oil and gas resources. In addition, it can also provide important protection for downhole operations, prevent accidents such as leakage, and ensure the safety of downhole workers.
