Houston- T H Hill has recently launched its CFat ^SM line of services for the analysis and monitoring of fatigue in drill strings. “Our CFat services are based on the fatigue design methodologies we created for DS-1 Third Edition, and represent a huge step forward in understanding and predicting fatigue in drilling operations”, said Shawn Altizer, Vice President of Marketing for T H Hill. “With CFat, we can optimize drill string designs for fatigue performance in the planning stages and actually monitor fatigue accumulation on a joint-by-joint basis during drilling.” Additionally, CFat can be used as a failure analysis tool to determine the impact of fatigue in a failure case. T H Hill has already worked on behalf of numerous clients to optimize design in the planning stages and monitor fatigue while drilling for critical projects.
