From Pressure Relief To Activation, Rupture Discs Serve Oil And Gas
2/24/2017
A rupture disc, usually referred to as a pressure relief device, is responsible for protecting a vessel, system, or equipment from overpressure events. In those scenarios, the device will open and allow pressure to escape in a controlled way instead of allowing it to build up to dangerous levels.

Restoring Fluid Flow In Tubing Strings
9/25/2015
Fike Hydraulic Tubing Drains (HTD) for use with deep hole drilling tools, downhole devices and other oil and off shore drilling applications provide an accurate method to equalize the fluid level in tubing strings, without mechanical manipulation. Fike HTD rupture discs, used as standard equipment, drastically reduce the frequency of stuck tubing strings, having to pull wet strings and other oil field equipment and tubing concerns.

Fike Casing Cementing Tool: A Simple Solution
3/17/2014
The ideal pump-and-plug scenario at a new oil well is a single-stage cementing job performed through the bottom of the casing, with the cement circulating to the top of the target area in the annular space. A uniform layer of cementing is created to support and provide a seal around the surface casing. As a result, drilling can resume.
