They are designed to meet requirements of API RP 4G 14.3. They are proven to decrease rig up and rig down times and can endure the rigorous stresses of the oilfield. Guice Base Beams come in three standard widths: 4, 5, and 6 feet but can also be designed to meet your specific needs. We manufacture in-house at GEI Welding. Each beam also comes with an assigned serial number to prove it’s a Guice Base Beam.

The President of Guice Oilfield: Dr. Lee Guice, PE invented the Guice SRL arm, a Fall Protection arm found on nearly all workover rigs in tight locations.

Our fall protection arm provides extra protection for your employees on the rig. With our staff of experienced licensed Professional Engineers (P.E.) we developed the Guice fall protection systems that meet OSHA, ANSI, ASME conformance.Guice Engineering is always innovating oilfield products with your safety in mind.

The Guice “Razor Ramp” is a short working area lift / ramp combo that ships in one single load. It raises workover rigs 4-8 ft, dependent on design, allowing use of your existing short rigs on most wellheads. With a net lifting load / capacity rated at 130K, the “Razor Ramp” allows 98′-104′ drilling rig to work on deeper holes with higher well head or BOP stacks.

The Guice Engineering cam design provides you multiple heights for multiple jobs. Easy rig up and rig down is achieved with the moving of a single pin. The Hydraulic Catwalk is a self-contained, hydraulic pipe assist machine. The lifting mechanism is designed to create opportunities where big hydraulic operations would otherwise be needed. The Hydraulic Catwalk picks up and lays down pipe rapidly, efficiently, and safely. It reduces personnel time and operation time on site and averts high-risk situations. The Hydraulic Catwalk eliminates costly man hours and strenuous effort by allowing employees to remain and work at a safe distance and avoiding the threat of “falling pipe” and personal harm. The Hydraulic Catwalk provides a safer way to handle pipe in high-risk situations, reducing insurance claims and saving your company money!

Workover Rig is available for both onshore as well as offshore Workover purposes at affordable prices. There are a number of companies that manufacture the Workover Rig as well as Rig packages that are required for different kinds of drilling jobs and meet the standards that have been set by the American Petroleum Institute or the API. The Rig packages are shipped worldwide. The rigs are included other than the simple Workover and they include the following:

Workover Rig is known as the Workover the different types of rigs include the offshore and onshore Rig that range from 150 horsepower to 1000 horsepower. Workover rigs have a surface depth that is equipped with diesel engines and transmissions and is available from 8000 ft to 30000 ft. Workover rigs contain a full line of drilling packages. Rig takes into account the skid mounted drilling rigs and the ones that are trailer mounted. Workover skid mounted drilling rigs incorporate the diesel-electric AC/VFD or the DC/SCR drive rigs, mechanical drive rigs and the combination drive Rig that ranges from 1000 horsepower to 6000 horsepower; while the trailer mounted Rig ranges from 450 horsepower to 1000 horsepower.

A lot of Workover Rig uses the double telescopic mast with the help of a single mast and is operated by wide wheel base axels, high strength steel beam, low cross section tires, dual pipeline brakes as well as hydraulic assist steering for the Workover. Rig mast is a double section type and uses a telescopic mast for dual safety protection. The gear shift and throttle of the engine can be remote controlled.

Workover types of Rig are available in the form of the single drum as well as the double drum. The groove ensures the alignment of in place as well as for long life. The optional Workover accessories for the auxiliary brakes include air thrust disc type clutch, brakes for the braking of the main drum, forced water circulating cooling with the brake rims as well as the optional brakes. Workover rigs are centrally controlled with electricity. The other kinds of drilling equipment include drilling equipment, triplex mud pumps, well control equipment; solids control equipment, oil control tubular goods and quality equipment. Work over rigs run casing tools and clean outs inside and outside a hole already drilled.

SCOPE: To provide a representative basis for determining the availability, capability, dependability, reliability of Stability Systems on Land Based Work-Over Rigs and the recommended practices and procedures for their safe use.

The rig location area may grade away from the well bore along centerline II at a maximum drop of 1:20. The cross grades, parallel to centerline I, should be level. The area shall provide a minimum bearing capacity of 6000 psf.

The flat plate anchor is stamped from metal plate then folded into a reduced profile for insertion into the ground. The flukes are expanded into undisturbed soil, again by tamping or impact, to provide the holding power for this type of anchor. A base plate supports the extended flukes providing added strength and stability.

The "Well Head" is located at the center of the Chart. This will be considered the base reference point for positioning of the guy anchors. The holding capacity of the anchors will then be determined by the zone in which they are located. ie: A, B, C, or D.

The near parallel baseline of Zone "D" to the cross lines NS and EW is 25 feet. (see Northwest and Southeast Quadrants). The far baseline of Zone "D" to the cross lines is 35 feet. (see Northwest and Southeast Quadrants). The vertical distance from the cross lines to the end of the base line is 60 feet and 85 feet to the end of the far line. The area located within this geometrically angled rectangle, within each quadrant, is the area comprising Zone "D".

Using the chart: An anchor in Zone "A" located a horizontal distance of 70 feet from the "Well Head" would require an anchor of what minimum holding capacity? On the chart move along the horizontal legend from left to right until you reach 70 feet. At this juncture proceed vertical until you intersect the curved line for Zone "A", now follow the intersecting horizontal line, left toward the vertical legend. We have now determined that the minimum holding capacity for the anchor, at this precise location, is 20,000 pounds.

Standing at the "Well Head", with the well bore immediately to your back, proceed North (in direction monkey board is facing) 24 paces. (The pace length is not as important as the numerical relationship of the units and the consistency of the unit length. The method will work with any unit of length as long as the same unit is used throughout.) Place a stake or other marker at this location (Bench Reference). Turn West 90 degrees and proceed forward 10 paces. At this location turn your body so that the front portion of your anatomy is approximately parallel to the radial of the guy anchor. If the northwest guy anchor is forward of your right shoulder and the southeast guy anchor is aft to the rear of your left shoulder, it can then be presumed that the radial angles are within acceptable parameters. Repeat the procedure from the bench reference, this time to the east, proceed ten paces. In this orientation the northeast anchor should be forward of the left shoulder and the southwest anchor should be aft of the right shoulder.

In keeping with the concept, which embraces the acceptance of new and innovative approaches, that are based on sound engineering principals, the following alternative, recommended installation guideline, is presented.

A survey of 13 drilling contractors operation 193 drilling rigs in northern Canada and Alaska indicated that there is a wide range of experience and operating practices under extremely low temperature conditions. While there is very little precise information available, there have been a sizeable number of failures in portable masts while in the lowering or raising process in winter. Thus the exposure to low temperature failures focuses on mast lowering and raising operations. Based on reports, however, this operation has been accomplished successfully in temperatures as low as -50 degrees F. While the risk may be considerably greater because of the change in physical characteristics of steel at low temperatures, operators may carry on "normal" operations even at extremely low temperatures. This may be accomplished by a program of closely controlled inspection procedures and careful handling and operation. This should reduce damage and impact loading during raising and lowering operations. At the present, there seems to be no widely accepted or soundly supported basis for establishing a critical temperature for limiting the use of these oilfield structures. Experience in the operation of trucks and other heavy equipment exposed to impact forces indicates that -40 degrees F may be the threshold of the temperature range at which the risk of structural failure may increase rapidly. Precautionary measures should be more rigidly practiced at this point. The following recommended practices are included for reference:

* Make use of any practical, available means to warm sections of the mast, such as using high pressure steam to heat the points of attachment between the mast and its base; also timber bonfires, and the like.

If maintained to these tolerances the sags will indicate a pretension of 1000 pounds for crown to ground guywires and 500 pounds for tubing board guywires. this is based on the use of 5/8 inch, 6x19, or 6x37 class, regular lay, ips, IWRC wire rope, installed according to the rigging guidelines set forth in chart depicted in Figure 5-5

The drawing on the following page, Figure 5-4, (SAME AS FIGURE 4-4) is another illustration of the continuing evolution of Rig Stability System engineering and design. It represents the latest API thinking relative to planing and preparing a Rig Stability System.

CAUTION: SOLE EMPHASIS SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON PULL TESTING OR ALTERNATIVES TO PULL TESTING AS THIS MEASURES ONLY ONE COMPONENT OF THE RIG STABILITY SYSTEM.

The rig contractor should be responsible for the following: a. Insuring that anchor capacities are verified and that anchor spacing and capacity is suitable for the mast guying pattern and anticipated loading.

b. Records of pull testing or records of other methods used to verify temporary anchor capacity should be retained by the rig contractor until the job is complete and the guy wires have been removed from the anchors. The records should indicate the capacity of each anchor, the date of verification, name and phone number of the party responsible for verification, and the soil condition at the time of verification.

OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE PREVENTION OF RIG UPSET IS DIRECTLY DEPENDENT ON THE TOTAL INTEGRITY OF THE RIG STABILIZATION SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES ALL OF ITS COMPONENTS AND IS ONLY AS SOUND AS ITS WEAKEST MEMBER.

Our research has concluded, that the latest State-of-the-Art in RIG STABILIZATION is to be found in the pending American Petroleum Institute, Recommended Practice for MAINTENANCE and USE of DRILLING and WELL SERVICING STRUCTURES.
