Floating Drift™
Internal diameter verification while running tubulars.
The Floating Drift is D2 Oil Tools' flagship product: an alternative for internal diameter (drift) verification of tubulars while running, confirming the internal passage and catching debris in real time.
Its approach is intended to eliminate dropping a drift out of the derrick, a procedure associated with dropped objects and non-productive time.
It verifies the internal diameter after the make-up of each joint or stand, so the operator immediately knows if there is a damaged tool joint or debris in the pipe.
It retains debris and detects restrictions as the string advances downhole, providing real-time information on the pipe condition.
The Floating Drift™ has been field-tested in onshore and offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Technical Features
Internal Diameter Verification
The Floating Drift™ verifies the internal diameter (ID) of tubulars after the make-up of each joint or stand during running in hole.
Applicable Pipe Sizes
The tool can be run in pipe sizes starting from 2-3/8″, according to the manufacturer’s documentation.
Adaptable Configuration
The main tool body remains the same across different gauge ring sizes, allowing adaptation to multiple applications.
Fluid Compatibility
The manufacturer specifies operation in completion fluids or drilling mud with densities of 8.5 ppg and higher.
Restriction and Debris Detection
The tool helps identify internal restrictions and collect debris during tubular running operations.
Operational Applications
- Casing Run
- Production Tubing Run
- Displacement Tool Run
- Landing String Run (Subsea)
- Bridge Plug Run
- Drill Run
- Production Packer Run
- Frac Tool Run
- Isolation Packer Run
- PBL Circulating Tool
- TCP Run
- Clean Out Run
- Liner Hanger Run
Operational Benefits of the Floating Drift™
Improved Operational Safety
Reduces the need for conventional drifting procedures performed from the derrick, helping minimize exposure to dropped-object hazards.
Early Restriction Detection
Helps identify internal restrictions while running tubulars, including potential restrictions associated with over-torqued connections.
Fewer Additional Runs
In certain production tubing operations, the tool may eliminate the need for subsequent slickline gauge ring runs.
Reduced Non-Productive Time
Early identification of internal restrictions helps reduce the risk of additional trips out of hole to inspect or replace damaged tubulars.
Operational Continuity and Efficiency
Internal diameter verification during tubular running contributes to operational efficiency and helps reduce the risk of interruptions caused by restrictions and debris.

BIGMINI™ Jetting Scraper
Casing cleaning and preparation prior to setting downhole equipment.
The BIGMINI™ Jetting Scraper is a casing cleaning and preparation tool that attaches directly to the lower end of downhole tools. It prepares the inner casing wall for the proper setting of packers, bridge plugs and retainers.
It is especially relevant for tools with rubber seals that must contact the casing wall to maintain pressure.
The tool moves up and down over the target depth to prepare the surface where the seals will seat. As it descends the wellbore, well fluid builds pressure below the tool, flows up through the body and is jetted through the blades and ports, hitting the casing wall directly.
Bi-directional scraper blades clean in both directions of travel, and directional fluid ports prevent removed debris from settling back onto the casing.
This description is based on the manufacturer’s technical documentation, D2 Oil Tools.
