FDS Top Drive - TDS-3000™ Drilling Rig

The FDS Top Drive is a reliable workhorse. It comes with hydraulic bails reducing the need for hands-on operations.
Built for the medium depth market, the TDS-3000™ compliments Savanna's fleet by meeting needs in medium depth markets such as the Viking, Cardium, and lower Shaunavon Play. This new TopDrive Single is capable of reaching depths of 3000m and is built from the foundation of Savanna's Hybrid fleet. A re-configuration of less active Hybrid rigs has enabled Savanna to diversify its fleet and all early indications are that the demand for the TDS-3000™ will be strong due to their features and benefits. Employing topdrive technology, these rigs are highly mobile, and capable of running up to Range 3 pipe for efficient drilling and less connections.

What is the one meter long rod that they pulled out of the top joint and inserted into the joint to be added to the drill string?

Hi Kelli, that is a pipe screen. It stays in the top stand of drill pipe and acts as a filter for drilling fluid.
