What is Slip?
In the context of oil and drilling equipment , a slip is a critical tool used to grip, suspend, and secure tubulars such as drill pipes, casings, or drill collars during drilling operations.
Its primary function is to prevent these heavy tubulars from slipping or falling into the wellbore, ensuring safety and stability during processes like tripping (raising or lowering the drill string) or well completion. Slips typically feature a segmented, cone-shaped design with hardened inserts (called "slip teeth") that bite into the outer surface of the tubular, creating a secure hold.

1.Strong Adaptability & Wide Coverage
The slips are designed for various tubulars in drilling operations, including drill pipes, casings, and drill collars. Different types (e.g., drill pipe slips, casing slips, drill collar slips) and models (CMS type, UC-3 type, A type, WT type) cover diverse specifications, ensuring a precise fit for tubulars of different sizes and structures, meeting the needs of various drilling scenarios.
2.Enhanced Safety & Reliability
Safety slips (WA type, MP type) provide additional security, especially for shoulderless tubulars, effectively preventing accidental slipping or falling into the wellbore, thus reducing operational risks.
The design of slip teeth (likely made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials) ensures a firm grip on tubulars, maintaining stability during tripping or well completion processes.
3.Optimized Structural Design
Multi-piece designs (e.g., W-type split slips) enable uniform force distribution on the tubular surface, avoiding deformation or damage to the tubulars.
Specific technical features (e.g., 1:4 taper for UC-3 casing slips) enhance the gripping effect, ensuring a tighter and more stable hold, which is critical for handling heavy loads.
4.Automation & Efficiency
Hydraulic slips (WY series) align with the trend of automated drilling. They enable efficient, high-pressure operation with reduced manual intervention, improving operational efficiency and reducing labor intensity.
5.Diverse Models for Targeted Needs
A range of models (e.g., DU type, B type, CMS type) are available to address specific requirements: for example, drill collar slips are tailored to handle heavy drill collars, while casing slips are optimized for large-diameter casings, ensuring targeted performance in different operational links.
1.Drill Pipe Slips
Used during tripping operations (raising or lowering the drill string) to grip and suspend drill pipes-hollow, high-strength pipes that transmit drilling fluid and rotational force from the surface to the drill bit. They secure the drill pipe in the rotary table or casing head, preventing downward slippage while crew members connect or disconnect pipe sections (makeup/breakout).
2.Casing Slips
Employed during casing running and cementing operations. Casing (large-diameter, thick-walled pipes) lines the wellbore to prevent collapse, isolate formations, and control fluid flow. Casing slips suspend the casing string in the wellhead temporarily, allowing precise positioning before cementing (to fix the casing in place) or during adjustments to casing depth.
3.Drill Collar Slips
Designed for heavy, thick-walled drill collars-weighted components that provide downward force to the drill bit. These slips secure drill collars during tripping or when the drill string is stationary, ensuring stability given the collars' greater weight and rigidity compared to drill pipes.
4.Safety Slips
Function as secondary safeguards, typically used alongside primary slips (e.g., drill collar or casing slips) for "shoulderless" tubulars (tubulars without a flange or shoulder to rest on). They prevent accidental slippage during critical operations like wellbore cleaning or toolstring deployment, enhancing safety in high-risk scenarios.
5.Hydraulic Slips (WY Series)
Integrated into automated drilling systems, these slips streamline operations in high-efficiency, high-pressure drilling environments (e.g., deepwater or unconventional wells). They automate the gripping and releasing of tubulars, reducing manual intervention, speeding up tripping cycles, and minimizing downtime in continuous drilling processes.
