In the intricate and demanding world of oilfield operations, efficiency, safety, and reliability reign supreme. Key to these elements are the tools used in the process, namely the elevators, slips, dies, and inserts. As a leader in the industry, Keystone Energy Tools (KET) takes pride in designing and manufacturing these essential tools that are paramount to successful and optimized oilfield operations.
At KET, we hold a prominent position as a leading manufacturer of Drill Pipe Elevators. Each of our elevators is precision-engineered and designed to meet and exceed API Standards (API 8C). With KET and the API monogram stamped on our equipment, you can rest assured you're investing in high-grade equipment at a competitive price, all made in the USA.
Our elevators are built with the critical requirements of the oil and gas industry in mind, fulfilling the demand for high-quality tools and parts. One such feature is the Safety Latch Lock Pins designed to keep the elevator's safety latch locked in place, preventing accidental release.
KET's commitment to quality extends to our choice of materials. Our equipment is manufactured from top-quality materials procured from trusted vendors. Upon purchase, customers receive a comprehensive data packet, which includes proof of load test, MPI, and material and heat-treatment certifications.
KET is also a trusted provider of drill pipe slips for the oil and gas drilling industry. Recognized as standard equipment for running tubulars like drill pipe, drill collar, and casing, our slips hold their own in the demanding environment of oilfield operations. In line with our commitment to quality, all KET rotary hand slips are precision-machined for use in API standard bowls.
Each of our rotary hand slips features an API taper of 4"/ft on the diameter, and they come equipped with safety flex handles for enhanced security and convenience. Manufactured from top-quality materials, our slips are designed and precision-machined to meet and exceed API Standards. And, just like our elevators, they come with the assurance of the API monogram, a testament to their high-grade quality, competitive pricing, and American craftsmanship.
Complementing our elevators and slips, KET offers a full line of inserts and dies. Our range includes elevator inserts for all Slip Type Elevators, slip inserts for drill collar, rotary, and casing slips, tubing and drill pipe tong dies, and coil tubing inserts for elevators, slips, and spiders. We also manufacture tong dies for the ST-80 Iron Roughneck.
We ensure the quality and precision of our dies and inserts by manufacturing them from top-grade materials and machining them to exacting tolerances. They are heat-treated to industry standards to ensure the best wear and resistance, even in the most challenging environments.
Traceability is a hallmark of our inserts and dies; we stencil a batch and heat number on all the inserts and dies we manufacture. This detailed identification allows for complete traceability, assuring customers of the robust quality control measures employed by KET.
