Float Equipment & Reaming Shoes
PROBE™ Guide shoes, reaming shoes and float equipment (float collars and float shoes) for running casing and liner under difficult hole conditions.


PROBE™
A sophisticated range of reamer & guide shoes designed to assist casing/liner/screen running when difficult hole conditions are anticipated.
Features:
· High-strength eccentric wellbore-seeking nose.
· Profiled nose design reduces drill-out times whilst maintaining unit strength and integrity.
· Ballistic tungsten carbide cutting structure.
· V-LOK™ slotted nose offers cement-locking technology, binding the nose within cement, inhibiting rotation, enabling smoother/quicker drill-out.
· Flow ports offer 360° flow-area coverage aiding hole cleaning and cement placement.
· Slick body allows easy passage through swelling/collapsed wellbores, eliminating pack-off potential.
· High-flow 5Kpsi & 10Kpsi valve exceeding API 10F IIIC certification.
· Single, double & auto-fill valve options available.
· Various cutting-structure options available.
· Nose available in aluminium or phenolic, concentric or spade.
· Fully drillable with PDC & rollercone drill bits.


PROBE™ BORG
High-strength, thermally stable, quick drill-out composite nose reaming shoe.
Features:
· High-strength eccentric wellbore-seeking nose.
· Eccentric high-strength proprietary composite nose design reduces drill-out times whilst maintaining unit strength and integrity.
· Optimized cutting structure offers the capability to ream past obstructions with rotation or reciprocation.
· Ballistic tungsten carbide cutting structure.
· High-flow 5Kpsi & 10Kpsi valve exceeding API 10F IIIC certification.
· Single, double & auto-fill valve options available.
· Various cutting-structure options and nose-port variations available upon request.
· Fully drillable with PDC & rollercone bits.


PROBE™ DISRUPTOR
An engineered casing shoe with additional reaming technology, for poor hole conditions, collapsed sections and shale formations.
Features:
· Ballistic tungsten carbide cutting structure.
· Improved, more aggressive reaming alloy-bronze nose structure featuring PDC cutters.
· Reaming cutting structure and maximized flow-by area as per PROBE™ design.
· 360° circulating flow ports.
· High-flow 5Kpsi & 10Kpsi valve exceeding API 10F IIIC certification.
· Single, double & auto-fill valve options available.
· Fully drillable with PDC & rollercone drill bits.


PROBE™ CWD SHOE
Innovative solution for enhanced drilling efficiency, designed to assist casing reaching TD, eliminating the need for another run.
Features:
· Cutting structures tailored for maximum performance.
· Specific alloy and internal design of the assembly to ease drill-out operations.
· Powered by BitScan: advanced simulation technology optimizing bit behaviour for any given application.
· Optimized hydraulics: up to 20/32" nozzle ID for precise fluid management.
· Engineered for reliability in challenging environments.
· Casing or liner applications; vertical and directional wells; soft to medium-hard formations.
· Engineered in Europe, leveraging over 30 years of expertise in PDC and CWD bit design.


PROBE™ DEFLECTOR
Vulcan's advanced debris-management valve, purpose-built to safeguard sand screens and downhole equipment during completion.
Features:
· Dual-valve configuration for HPHT environments.
· Metal-to-metal seats rated to 10,000psi.
