Who We Are
Pride In Performance
Noble Casing, Inc. since inception has been efficiency driven. We aim to control the process from pipe mill, to completed surface presets. By combining the services of our related companies, our customers receive a single point of contact for multiple services reducing their operating costs, project timeline, and most importantly the integrity of the well.
Noble Casing, Inc. was incorporated in 2009 during the heart of a downturn with two main goals in mind; employ the best people, and focus on setting the highest standards in safety performance. Since inception, and through the most difficult of market conditions, we have been committed to investing in the safety, quality, and training of our people, as well as best in class, strictly maintained equipment.
What We Do
Efficiency Driven
Casing Running/Laydown Services
Noble Casing uses both diesel and electric power units capable of running any size pipe requested. All power units are skid/trailer mounted and tested to maximum torque for optimal performance in the field.
Diesel Hydraulic Power Units:
4,5,6 Cylinder Diesel Units are the traditional power units used in the industry. They are capable of running any size pipe and can be used in remote rig locations with limited power supply.
Dual-Electric Power Units:
The Dual-Electric Hydraulic Power Unit was developed to supply hydraulic power for casing operations. It was designed to meet API, ASME Class 1 Division 2, ASME B30.20 and UL requirements.
Modes:
Tubing Mode
In this mode, the flow from pump 1 is all that is required. It will supply 30 GPM @3,000 psi flow to the circuit. This mode provides lower flow but higher pressure than the casing mode.
Casing Mode
Casing mode allows both pumps 1 & 2 to combine flow to the hydraulic circuit at 60 GPM so a higher flow at a lower pressure is available. Once the load on the system increases past a factory preset point, the compensator section of the pump is shifted to reduce the flow with increased pressure requirements. Therefore, less flow leaves the pump, but the maximum pressure that can be achieved is higher. This allows for faster use of the casing tong with light loads while still providing high pressures for making / breaking of the connection.
Electrical System
The system is dual rated for 460/380 VAC and 60/50 Hz. The system is tested at 480 VAC at 60 HZ.
Hydraulic System
The dual electric motor system is designed to run dual electric 40 horsepower motors with a maximum amperage draw of 76 amps. The complete unit with all components is 76 amp in dual pump mode. Max flow is 62 GPM at 3,000PSI.
Single pump mode max flow is 30 GPM at 2,800 PSI3,000PSI. The hydraulic oil cooling system is set up to automatically come on at 135°F (57°C) to maintain a maximum oil temp of 155 – 165°F (68-74C).
The heating elements (3) in the system are set up to come on at any temperature below 100°F (37°C) and turn off at 100°F (37°C). The three immersion heating elements are designed to heat oil from 0°F – 45°F (-17 – 7°C) within 1/2 an hour after unit start-up.

Pipe Yard
- Noble Casing’s pipe yard capabilities include accurate inventory management, on-time delivery, and infield services to ensure that products get from the facility to the well site in a ready to-run state.
- We receive and store all pipe sizes from 2 3/8” tubing to 20” casing.
- The pipe yard is on call 24/7 for customers to call in a one-call service to get all tubing or casing to location at any time.
Specialty Equipment
Casing Running Tools Volant CRTi – Internal Grip
Casing Running Tools allow you to fill, reciprocate, rotate and circulate casing and liner strings, which reduces non-productive time and associated costs from casing not going to bottom or becoming stuck in the well.
Covers All Pipe Sizes from 4 ½” to 13 ⅜”
- CRTi2-4.5 – 120 Ton Load Capacity
- CRTi2-5.5 – 200 Ton Load Capacity
- CRTi3-7.0 – 320 Ton Load Capacity
- CRTi4-7.0 – 420 Ton Load Capacity
- DWCRT 450 Ton 4 ½” to 13 ⅜”
Casing Running Tools Volant CRTe – External Grip
- CRTe-1.0 – 500 Ton Load Capacity
Computerized Torque Turn Monitoring System
System Features
- Built-in system dump valve releases pressure at optimum torque.
- Built-in dump valve release on RPM. Stops over RPM during make-up.
- System requires only one operator to run computer and tong. Once the job is started the unit runs live and continuous and does not need constant attention.
- Remote display shows live torque and dump status on rig floor, can attach to tong or derrick leg.
- The job file is stored in database and exportable to PDF. This database eliminates data tampering. The device displays joints per hour and average speed of the casing job.
- Electronic load cells calibrated to <0.1% and reading at 3000 pulses per second, this is the highest sample rate in the industry.
Wireless Torque Sub
We also offer the WeCatt Wireless Torque-Monitoring Sub to be used on the rigs top drive or in conjunction with a Casing Running Tool in order to monitor connection make-up and torque.
Rack, Clean and Drift
Our Professional Clean and Drift crews provide our customers with the following services to prevent damaged connections or misshaped pipe from causing issues during the casing makeup. To better avoid weak spots that might lead to failures during the cementing or hydraulic fracturing process, we are constantly working on new innovative ways to improve our process to be more efficient and safe.
- We provide an enclosed gun cleaning system that recirculates the solvent and captures all waste in a containment system. This protects our crews and the environment from the mineral spirits used in the cleaning process.
- Our crews will unload and rack the casing, remove the thread protectors, clean and inspect box/pin end threads, drift all casing with respective API drifts, and tally the entire string being prepared for the well.
- We also use an ultrasonic testing device on every joint to verify that the entire casing string is the proper thickness and in the proper place in the string design.
- We provide our customers with a paper tally as well as a computer tally on a jump drive.
Conductor & Mousehole Drilling Services
- We provide highly trained, safety focused professional conductor drilling crews to drill, set casing, and cement the conductor and mousehole.
- We utilize Spiradrill MHD90 Truck Mounted Auger Drill Rigs capable of depths to 120′ and a maximum diameter of 10′.
