Concentric Casing System

Concentric Casing System

MSD supplies concentric casing systems with fixed ring-bit configurations, including confirmed DTH and top hammer specifications for overburden casing advancement.

Product Descriptions

MSD supplies standard concentric casing systems with fixed ring-bit configurations for overburden casing advancement. This pilot-bit and ring-bit structure is separate from ODEX eccentric systems and from casing systems that use sliding blocks or movable wings.

The confirmed tables contain 16 DTH specifications from R114/9-80 to R610/12.7-513 and five top hammer specifications from R76/7-39 to R140/10-97. Casing dimensions, listed bit and hole dimensions, recommended hammer or drifter, and weight vary by row, so the complete row should be checked before selection.

Frequently Asked
Questions

A concentric casing system uses a pilot bit and fixed ring bit that cut on the same centerline while the casing advances. This standard ring-bit structure is distinct from an eccentric ODEX reamer and from separate sliding-block or movable-wing mechanisms.
The pilot bit drills the central section while the fixed ring bit opens the surrounding clearance required for the casing to advance. The selected casing dimensions, bit assembly, hammer or drifter, and drill string must be checked as one configuration.
The DTH table lists 16 specifications from R114/9-80 to R610/12.7-513 with casing ODs of 114–610 mm. The top hammer table lists five specifications from R76/7-39 to R140/10-97 with casing ODs of 76–140 mm. These are the endpoints of the listed configurations, not a claim that every intermediate size is available.
Start with the drilling method and exact hammer or drifter used by the rig. Then match the required casing OD and ID with all dimensions, the recommended hammer or drifter, and the weight in the same table row. A similar nominal size does not confirm interchangeability.
Provide the required casing OD and ID, wall thickness, target hole dimensions, DTH or top hammer method, exact hammer or drifter model, drill-rod or thread information, rig details, casing length and connection, ground description, required cased depth, hole direction, and quantity. For replacement orders, also provide markings, measured dimensions, and clear photos or drawings.
