Offshore staff

HOUSTON – Dril-Quip has received an OTC Spotlight on New Technology Award for its BADGeR gas-tight casing connector.

According to the company, the system delivers superior fatigue performance and anti-rotation keys to allow for hands-free make-up, leading to faster connection times and allowing for fewer rig personnel working in the high-risk red zone.

This was the company’s fifth OTC award over the past five years and the latest of its ‘e-Series’ to achieve recognition.
