Abstract

A method of connecting casing sections by using a top drive, comprising closing a first member around a first casing section; gripping and supporting a weight of a second casing section with the top drive; rotating the second casing section with the top drive to join the second casing section to the first casing section to form a joint and a casing string; sending data from the top drive to a controller, wherein the controller is preprogrammed with an acceptable torque value of the joint; stopping rotation of the second casing section based on the acceptable torque value of the joint; supporting a weight of the casing string with the top drive; and opening the first member. 8134503_1 (GHMatters) P51607.AU.3.29-Aug-16
