Eclipse International begins engineering for a totally automated drill pipe handling system for our next generation of drilling rigs.

Eclipse International set the guidelines in place for the development of a fully automated drill pipe handling system. This new system will be designed to limit the amount of time of “hand on the pipe” to the very minimum by combining the pipe handling function of the catwalk/veedor, make-up and break-out on the drill floor and the pipe handling in the derrick during tripping activities. The concept is simple, everything automated and everything controlled from a central location and no hands on the pipe during drilling and tripping operations. The first engineering prototypes should be ready for proof of concept testing in early 2015.
