Tubular running tools are specialized equipment in oil & gas drilling for safely handling, connecting, and lowering casing/tubing strings, including Casing Running Tools (CRTs) that attach to the top drive, power tongs for tightening joints, spiders/elevators to hold pipe, stabbing guides, and fill/circulate tools for managing wellbore fluids, all designed for efficiency and well integrity. 

• Key Components & Functions

• Casing Running Tools (CRTs/ CRTi): Connect to the top drive, allowing for make-up, circulation, and rotation of casing strings, making operations smoother.

• Power Tongs: Hydraulic or electric tools that grip and rotate pipe joints to apply precise torque for secure connections.

• Elevators & Spiders: Heavy-duty slips (like UltraElevator, Flush Mounted Spiders) that grip and hold the pipe string securely on the rig floor.

• Stabbing Guides: Help align and guide pipe connections during makeup.

• Fill & Circulate Tools (FAC): Allow fluid to be pumped into the casing as it's run, preventing pressure imbalances, with a sealing element for efficient circulation.

• Torque & Turn Systems (TRAC): Monitor and record connection data (torque, turns) for quality assurance.

• Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs): Provide hydraulic power to run tongs and other tools.
