With the increased activity and interest in the Utica Shale, Wyoming Casing Service has opened a new location in Canton, Ohio. This location will allow us to better serve our customers in the Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia areas. As has been the case in the past, our decision to expand was based primarily on the requests we have received from our customers. As the drilling activity has increased in the area, more and more of our customers have been asking us to service them in the Ohio area. We have been working in the area, and are already basing equipment and personnel in the Canton location.
Wyoming Casing Service is committed to being involved in every community we inhabit and are excited to begin a long term relationship with the city and residents of Canton.
Our shop in Canton offers a complete line of the casing services; including Casing Crews, Pickup/Laydown Machines and Crews, Casing Cleaning Crews, Volant Casing Running Tools, and Torque Monitoring Systems. We will continue to relocate experienced employees, as well as hiring local employees from the Canton area.
New Casing Running Tools Added

In late 2009, we received our first delivery of the Volant Casing Running Tool, and we have continued to add more tools to our inventory. These tools have many great benefits, one of which being the ability to rotate the entire string of casing while running into the hole. These tools also allow for circulating and filling; but one of the greatest benefits is the reduction in manpower needed for casing running operations. Less people on the floor makes the operation much safer than standard casing running. These tools are mechanical set – which means no fluid leaks – and very easy to understand and operate.

Hydraulic Trailer Mounted Catwalk
Wyoming Casing Service has recently purchased a Hydraulic Trailer Mounted Catwalk. This catwalk has been designed to work in the service rig to small drilling rig environment. The integrated power pack along with the King Pin or Ball coupler 5th wheel makes this model highly mobile and easy to set-up.
The main components of this model are..
A 42' Skid with adjustable trough capable of lifting 3600 pounds of up to 13-3/8" casing.
Adjustable trough that can reach subs from 4 to 27 feet in height that includes a hooded butt plate for added safety when hoisting tubulars and also an included 9 foot extension that allows the operator to get closer to well center.
Skate system that moves the tubular toward the well center (and away from tripping out of the hole) once the trough is in the up position.
Controls that are mounted on the rear of the unit as well as a wired remote that has a 30 foot umbilical cord that can be attached to the rear or front of the catwalk.
Self contained diesel hydraulic power unit with hydraulic oil cooling fan.
Hydraulic Outriggers that will allow the unit to be leveled.
Tubular pipe rack indexers that assist in loading the tubular from the pipe rack into the trough.
This unit has been so popular that we already ordered another unit; and we will continue to add units to meet the demand. If you would like more information or have any questions please feel free to call us here at Wyoming Casing Service.
Air-Operated Elevators and Camera System
Early in 2009, Wyoming Casing Service, Inc started to utilize an air-operated elevator system, to allow for the use of a Fill and Circulate tool on rigs not designed for (or not safe for) a stabber in the derrick. To make this system effective, we use a two-camera system that allows us to monitor what is going on in the air, from the safety of the rig floor. You can see these tools in use, and the clarity and effectiveness of the camera system, by clicking the link below.
