Rotating Control Device Accessories 13 The stripper element is the critical
component of the Smith Services
RCD. This is the active barrier be-
tween the fluids in the wellbore and
the rig floor personnel. A stretch-fit
seal is created by the stretch inter-
ference fit between the kelly/drill
pipe and the ID of the stripper ele-
ment. This ensures a positive seal at
all times. Seal reliability and stripper
element life are maximized through
the strict material quality and manu-
facturing process controls used to
build each Smith Services stripper
element.
Stretch interference fit around
the drill stem components to seal
100 percent of the time
Stripper elements that are easily
replaced at the rig
Maintainable by the rig crew
Seal that is not lost in the event
of any type of hydraulic or elec-
trical power disruption
Seal that is enhanced in the pres-
ence of wellbore pressure
Applications
Rig site safety is the main reason
for utilizing an RCD. This piece of
equipment enables drilling oper-
ations to continue while isolating
the drilling personnel from po-
tentially harmful wellbore fluids
and gasses
Conventional air, mist, foam and
gas drilling require an RCD for
the isolation and redirection of
the wellbore discharge
RCDs protect the environment by
directing potentially harmful well-
bore fluids and gasses through
the processing equipment on
location, before being returned
to the atmosphere
Underbalanced and managed
pressure drilling operations re-
quire the use of an RCD to safely
direct the wellbore flow through
the necessary processing equip-
ment as drilling operations prog-
ress. An RCD is required in all
types of UBD & MPD operations,
however, a good deal of planning
must be done to ensure the right
equipment and the appropriate
stripper elements are selected
Geothermal drilling requires an
RCD designed to operate at high
temperatures. High-temperature
stripper elements are also neces-
sary
Drilling risks from problems such
as lost circulation, fresh water
flows or unexpected events from
wildcat exploration wells can be
mitigated with the use of an RCD
to control potential influx
Note: These products, regardless of pressure ratings,
are diverters and not blowout preventers.
Note: The published test pressure ratings contained
herein pertain to the bearing section lower seal assem-

At Balance with Smith

The At Balance Automated Pressure Drilling Services provide a
pressure management method which increases safety, enhances
performance and reduces drilling costs. This revolutionary technol-
ogy uses the Integrated Pressure Manager (IPM), which combines
a high speed programmable system with a real-time hydraulics
model to control bottomhole pressure with unmatched speed and
precision. Combined with the Smith HOLD Rotating Control Device,
customers now have a high-performance solution for their most
challenging managed pressure drilling applications.

 HOLD 1500 and 2500 Rotating Control Devices
The HOLD Rotating Control Device
comes in two sizes: the HOLD 1500
and the HOLD 2500. They are both
designed with rig safety and opera-
tional reliability in mind. The hydrau-
lically operated lock-down system
eliminates the need to send person-
nel below the drilling floor to release
primary or secondary locking systems
when installing or replacing the strip-
per element. These elements can be
changed independent of the bearing
assembly, saving additional rig time
and eliminating the need for excess
inventory on location.
The HOLD Advantage
HOLD 1500 - Rated to 1500 psi
operating pressure and up to
13 38" through the bearing as-
sembly
HOLD 2500 - Rated to 2500 psi
operating pressure and up to
12 14" through the bearing
assembly
Static test pressure rated for:
HOLD 1500 - 1,500 psi
HOLD 2500 - 3,000 or 5,000 psi
Rig personnel safe on the rig
floor during release and removal
of the seal element
Designed for safe, reliable fluid
diversion

 HOLD Offshore Conversion Kit
The HOLD Offshore Conversion
Kit can be installed on either the
HOLD 2500 RCD or the HOLD
1500 RCD bearing section as
needed. The Offshore Conversion
Kit modifies the top of the HOLD
RCD to provide a custom flange
at the top of the RCD. A typical
installation would provide a top
flange with a welded-on 24 inch
OD Overshot Mandrel to engage
the diverter and bell nipple used
in many typical marine installa-
tions, and substantial side loads
can be accommodated which help
maintain RCD alignment with the
rotary or top drive above.
A 16.8 inch minimum ID is re-
quired above the RCD to allow
installation of the stripper rub-
ber elements. The maximum OD
