Torque Verification

Catch the drift before it costs you time. Independent torque verification across rig equipment.

Get in Touch

Overview

Torque you can verify. Drift you can catch.

Torque is one of the most consequential measurements on a drilling rig. It determines connection integrity, bit performance, and the difference between a clean trip and stuck pipe. When torque readings drift unnoticed, small calibration errors compound into expensive operational problems.

ProTorque provides independent torque verification across drilling rigs, workover rigs, and specialty operations. Calibrated reference standards, documented results, and the kind of catch-it-early discipline that protects programs from preventable NPT.

What the service includes

  • Independent torque verification on top drives, power tongs, and iron roughnecks
  • BHA make-up torque verification and documentation
  • Calibration of torque measurement systems
  • Drift detection across operating ranges
  • Pre-job, periodic, and program-end verification options
  • Service for drilling, completions, and workover operations
  • Reporting for QA, audits, and AFE justification
  • Coordination with CATM and casing make-up services

How We Do It

Our process

  1. Step 1

    Scope Definition

    Confirm the equipment and operating ranges to be verified. Set the program-specific torque targets and tolerances.

  2. Step 2

    Reference Calibration

    Independent reference standards installed and calibrated to traceable benchmarks.

  3. Step 3

    Verification Pass

    Verification across the operating range. Discrepancies between rig readings and reference readings documented per measurement.

  4. Step 4

    Documentation

    Verification report delivered. The operator has the numbers and the proof, both ready for audit and decision-making.

Why This Matters

Why this matters

A torque reading off by a few percent can mean the difference between a connection inside spec and one that fails downhole. It can mean the difference between proper BHA make-up and a backed-off bottom hole assembly. It can mean the difference between a trouble-free trip and an expensive fishing job.

The cost of independent torque verification is small. The cost of getting it wrong is not.

“The drift you do not catch is the NPT you cannot explain.”
