Product launches, company milestones, industry insights, and technical resources from the RigHeadTec team.
RigHeadTec has unveiled the Tripro® Gen III, our most advanced rig automation platform to date. The new system features AI-assisted pipe handling, integrated MWD data feedback, and a 40% reduction in connection time versus the previous generation.
To better serve drilling operations across the Gulf region, RigHeadTec has established a regional spare parts hub in Abu Dhabi. The facility holds over 8,000 line items in stock, enabling same-day or next-day delivery to rigs operating in the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
RigHeadTec's full range of mud pump expendable parts — including liners, pistons, valves, and seats — has received API 7K certification following independent third-party assessment. The certification confirms that our parts meet the same dimensional and material standards as OEM components.
As the industry pushes toward fully automated drilling, pipe-handling equipment has become a key bottleneck. This article examines how modern top-drive and iron roughneck integration is reshaping rig floor ergonomics and NPT profiles across deepwater and land operations.
Iron roughneck systems are among the highest-wear pieces of equipment on a rig floor. This technical guide outlines the key inspection intervals, wear limits, and consumable replacement schedules that can significantly extend service life and prevent unexpected failures during operations.
When a top drive bearing failure threatened to suspend a critical well programme on a Norwegian Continental Shelf semi-submersible, RigHeadTec's emergency response team mobilised 340 spare parts from three inventory locations and coordinated chartered air freight to Bergen in under 18 hours.
