Summit Casing Equipment developed and deployed the TD Centralizer in response to the rapid shift toward longer horizontal laterals in the Permian Basin. As operators began pushing casing farther than traditional designs could reliably handle, friction, drag, and stuck pipe became costly problems. Summit’s TD Centralizer was engineered to address these challenges by improving standoff, reducing drag forces, and helping casing reach total depth more consistently. The result was fewer wash-and-ream operations, reduced nonproductive time, and improved well construction efficiency as lateral lengths continued to increase.
