SureGrip Casing Running Tool Mooring connector company First Subsea was awarded a con- tract by Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd to supply ball and taper connectors for the new SureGrip automated casing run- ning tool used during drilling operations. The ball and taper technology provides both the gripping / handling function and rotational torque for the threaded pipe sections, specifically casing, during rig operations. First Subsea's Ballgrab ball and taper works on the simple principle of a ball engaged in a taper. As the SureGrip is lowered on to the pipe end, the balls roll down tapers and grip the outer wall of the pipe in direct proportion to the load applied.
