– Operations with tapered casing strings
– Deep wells
– Deepwater wells
– Extended-reach and deviated wells
• Operations with exceptional challenges and/or safety risks
• Pushing down, reciprocating, circulating, and rotating casing during
casing-running, drilling-with-casing (DwC™), or reaming-with-casing
(RwC™) operations
Features and Benefits

and associated personnel from the rig floor.
• Remotely operated bails eliminate the need for a stabber in the derrick.
• The electronic control system directly integrates with existing rig control
systems to enable wireless operation from the driller’s cabin.
• Exchangeable clamping modules accommodate a range of pipe sizes.
An external clamping module handles 4 1/2- to 10 3/4-in. tubulars; three
internal clamping modules handle 9 5/8- to 22-in. casing.
• The modular design accelerates and simplifies rigging up and
exchanging the clamping modules. The separate actuator and clamping
modules reduce individual component size and weights on smaller rigs
and increase efficiency when running tapered casing strings.
• The tool design enables switching between fill-up and circulation modes
without repositioning the tool, which enhances operational efficiency.
• A sliding sleeve mechanism enables venting during casing-string fill-up
to eliminate pressure buildup and prevent the sudden release of
compressed air when the tool is removed from the casing.
• The flowback feature of the mud-saver valve enables automatic
switching between fill-up and flowback modes, which eliminates the
need to remove the mud-saver valve or reposition the tool.
• Wireless, remote control enables operations in any rig-floor
environment.
• Multiple safety interlocks help to prevent dropped strings.
The TorkDrive EM tool is well suited for running and pulling casing, drilling with casing, and reaming with casing in
offshore operations and other challenging well applications. It can be used to circulate, push down, reciprocate, and
rotate the casing string while providing up to 80,000 ft-lb (108,465 N•m) of torque.
Mounted on the top drive and operated remotely, the TorkDrive EM tool uses the rotational power of the top drive to
make up casing. This configuration eliminates scaffolding, equipment, and personnel typically needed on the rig floor to
run casing. The tool is capable of interfacing with any top-drive system and can be installed quickly, without
modifications, to the top drive or rig structure.
The Weatherford TorkDrive suite also includes the TorkDrive heavy-duty, compact, DT, and modular casing-running
and drilling tools.

Tool Description
TorkDrive tools are the primary components of the Weatherford OverDrive™ system, which provides a safer, more
efficient alternative to conventional casing installation. Each TorkDrive tool is a combination of several conventional
casing-running tools―the power tong, elevator, fill-up/circulation tool, and weight compensator.
The compact size of this tool increases rig-up and rig-down efficiency for land operations. The tool accommodates
multiple casing sizes and is available in external or internal gripping models. It is well suited for drilling or reaming with
casing and for challenging well applications.
Mounted on the top drive and operated remotely, the tool uses the rotational power of the top drive to make up the
casing. This configuration eliminates the scaffolding, equipment, and personnel typically needed on the rig floor to run
the casing. The tool can interface with any top-drive system. It can be installed quickly to the top drive or rig structure
without modifications and can be used to circulate, push down, reciprocate, and rotate the casing string.
The Weatherford TorkDrive tool suite also includes the TorkDrive 750 heavy-duty, TorkDrive 650 modular,
TorkDrive 650 electric modular, and TorkDrive DT casing-running and drilling tools.
Options
• The remotely operated single-joint elevator enables hands-free operation.
