1 Who we are, and what we do? Driconeq is the world leading producer - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

1 Who we are, and what we do? Driconeq is the world leading producer of drill pipes to the mining, quarrying, ground engineering and water well industries. The company also offers related equipment such as drill collars, drill bits, wrenches, fishing tools etc to provide a full service concept. Factory and headquarter is located in Sunne, Sweden.

2 History Driconeq was founded in 1995 following a relocation of Atlas Copco’s factory in Sunne. In 2001 the Driconeq brand started to gain recognition in the market place and a new growth phase began. During 2004 Driconeq expanded its operations by Investing 30 % in the heat treatment company Hảrdtekno. Acquiring a stake of 51 % in Advantage Inc and thereby strengthen its position on the US market. The remaining stake of Hảrdtekno was acquired during first half of 2007, securing heat treatment capacity for the projected growth. In 2011, Driconeq acquired Anceriz Industries (Pty) Ltd, a prominent South African developer and manufacturer of reverse circulation mining drilling products.

3 Business modell Driconeq is to be the leading supplier of equipment in sink and rotation drilling. The organization is to be flexible and focused on customer needs and requests. Quality policy Our key words:  Always deliver according to customers wishes  Be efficient during production  Deliver on time this is made  in an healthy working environment which brings satisfaction to everyone,  by constantly improvements in the business and by preventing lack of quality and  by obeying current laws and standards associated with the business

4 Driconeq around the globe Driconeq is a world wide company with units on three continents. The head quarters and production units are positioned in Sunne and Kristinehamn, Sweden. In 2011, Driconeq acquired Anceriz Industries (Pty) Ltd which is based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Sale units are established in both Brazil and the United States. Retailers are 70 represented in a total of 70 countries around the globe

Exploration In order to retrieve new Raise-boring is used through out the Geothermal is a method for gaining findings of for example gold, mining industry for example energy out of the ground (earth) with exploration drilling is used. This ventilation shafts or dumping shafts the assistance of an heat pump. Most technique involves pre-drilling and between different levels. This common is the use of DTH (down the analyzing of the cuttings in several technique involves drilling a pilot hole hole hammer), but even traditional parts of a large area. Driconeq between levels in a vertical or rotation drilling is used with this delivers Reverse circulation (dual downwards angel. There after is the technique. wall) pipes, witch is a quick and pilot bit exchanged for a reamer effective method compared to core variegating in size up to six meters in drilling in the search for minerals. diameter. Machines uses large hydraulic cylinders to pull the reamer upwards as it rotates.

6 Where are we heading? Vision Driconeq - the global drill pipe manufacturer and supplier renowned for quality, competence, service/support, flexibility and commitment. Furthermore our vision contains a twofold increase in market shares until 2012 along with keeping our good reputation and satisfied customers. Profile Following keywords defines how Driconeq wants to be recognized by our customers:  Highly focused on customer, high flexibility and problem solving abilities.  High quality at the right cost  High surety in supplies and short lead times  High application and product knowledge

7 Quality We are able to keep high and even quality thanks to long experience and by listening to our customers and employees. We constantly work with our Quality manual, based on ISO 9001 to keep high quality. It's in our greatest concern to always increase quality standards throughout the business. We also work on improving sales with all of our distributors.

8 Customer relationship Our way of working with customers is based on:  A close and healthy relation  Problem solving, assistance and long experience  Know how in several drilling methods  Network based expertise  Always take responsibility if problems occurs  Make sure that production meets up with customer demands.

9 Employees Driconeq is very proud over employees and co-workers. We see our production unit as highly experienced. We recognize our highly skilled personnel in CNC-programming along with unique competence in friction welding. Our production unit consists of 105 employees divided in three cities, 65 in Sunne, 10 in Kristinehamn and 30 in Johannesburg. The unit is divided into following areas:  Logistics  Sales organization  Technique division Our worldwide sales unit consists of 1 employee in Brazil and 2 in the United States.

10 Machine park Our production takes place in one of Europe's most top modern production facilities in Sunne and in a top modern annealing workshop in Kristinehamn. It's all In-house with full production control. The machine park consists of  2 friction welds  1 submerged arc welding machine  8 robot arm CNC-machines  7 CNC-lathes  3 CNC-milling cutters along with an automatic painting facility and annealing processor.

Drill pipes Hydraulic clamp system? When using hydraulic clamp jaws you may not use pipes with wrench flats. If this is done the jaws will squeeze on the tube instead of the extended tool joint. Drill pipes for rigs with hydraulic jaw system always has extended tool joint.

Drill pipes The two main manufacturing processes Cold drawn:  Uniform pipe wall thickness (± 4%).  Low risk of ovality.  Better friction welding with less risk of concentricities. Hot rolled:  Uneven pipe wall thickness (± 10%).  Softer material.

Drillpipes Technical specification Cold drawn, seamless tube (N-80)  Yield strength, min. 552 N/mm 2 [80060 psi]  Tensile strength, min. 689 N/mm 2 [100000 psi]  Elongation min. 15 % Hot rolled (E355)  Yield strength, min. 355 N/mm 2 [51500 psi]  Tensile strength, min. 490-630 N/mm 2 [71000-91400 psi]  Elongation min. 22 % Tool joints  Surface hardness 58-62 HRC  Case depth 0,1-0,2 mm  Core hardness 32-36 HRC  The hardness of thread gives a longer life time (at least 50% longer).  All threads on tool joints are tested with an gauge that have A.P.I. certificate.  All Driconeq products have a ID number that gives traceability back to steel, manufacturing and heat treatment.
