Precise measurements against the drill string are often required offshore, and in many cases, simply marking the pipe at rotary level does not provide sufficient accuracy. The process of indexing the pipe eliminates measurement variances caused by factors such as rig heave and tide, which is critical during high-precision operations such as landing out or setting downhole tools.
The Indexer-25 integrates with the rig’s existing index line to support this precision process, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.
