SETTING THE STANDARD

Bandera?s commitment to excellence is highlighted by the standard use of the following equipment: Iron Derrickman

The Iron Derrickman is a racking board mounted pipe handling system designed to eliminate a man in the derrick for tripping operations. This will reduce the potential for fall or injury. The position of derrickman is now pipe handler assisting the driller at the floor level. Iron Derrickman LTD has a patent pending on this system.

Iron Floorhand

Gray Oil Tool Iron Floorhand is a system that makes procedures more efficient, safer and reduces fatigue. This system replaces the pipe spinner, Kelly spinner and manual tongs.

Eaton Air Brakes

The Eaton Air Brakes replace the hydromatic brakes for more braking power and efficiency, ultimately providing top of the line equipment that makes a safer workplace.

Hydraulic Cathead

The hydraulic cathead is another upgrade making safer procedures for making up and breaking out the bit.

Air Slips

The Air Slips aid in the prevention of fatigue and injuries adding efficiency to procedures.

Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL)

SRL complete with full body harness is used when derrick work is required. This 100% tie-off program gives the protection needed to work safely.

Mufflers

Hearing protection has become an important issue in recent years. Having all engines properly fitted with mufflers is a direct effort to reduce noise at the drill site.

Drench Showers

The process of mixing chemicals potentially exposes employees to chemical injury. The drench shower is an additional safety measure to the already existing eye wash station.

Pason Penless Electronic Drilling Recorder (EDR) System

The Pason Electronic Drilling Recorder System is a system of computers networked around a drilling rig to provide drilling data to well site personnel. The system permits secure, remote access to the network and transfer of data to not only Bandera?s office, but the operator can also access drilling progress from their personal computer. Our customers appreciate the added convenience of getting pertinent information in a timely manner. More information regarding the Pason system is available at www.pason.com
