When casing shifts, parts, or becomes misaligned, the consequences can be costly. From compromised well integrity to failed cement jobs and extended non-productive time, the impact is felt immediately on both operations and budget. At B&R Tools & Service, we’ve engineered a smarter solution to restore control and ensure reliable remediation: the Casing Alignment Tool (CAT)—one of the most trusted wellbore alignment tools in the Permian Basin and beyond.
Designed for durability and precision, the Casing Alignment Tool is engineered to realign parted or separated casing with ease and efficiency. Whether dealing with downhole complications during drilling, abandonment, or completion operations, this tool quickly guides the lower string back into alignment, setting the stage for a secure cement squeeze or other necessary interventions. The CAT streamlines the process by running directly below a cement retainer, allowing operators to realign, circulate, pressure test, and cement—all in one seamless operation.
What makes the Casing Alignment Tool stand out is its intelligent, field-proven design. It features a tapered nose and a close-fitting body that ensures smooth entry into the shifted lower casing string. The built-in swivel joint allows for precise orientation without transferring torque to the tubing string, helping prevent mechanical complications. A flapper-style conversion kit converts the discharge from side to bottom, allowing for highly accurate cement placement during remedial jobs.
Manufactured from 4043 aluminum, the CAT is lightweight yet durable—making it easier to mill out and minimizing rig time. The aluminum body reduces the chance of damage during run-in and retrieval while maintaining the strength needed for realignment. Before deployment, operators conduct a full-gauge clean-out using a stiff bottom-hole assembly to ensure clearance. Once casing prep is complete, the CAT and cement retainer are run to depth, set across the damaged section, and pressure-tested between 500 to 1,000 PSI before cementing begins.
This tool has become a go-to solution for operators needing a fast, reliable casing repair method that cuts costs and rig time while reducing operational risks. Whether it’s storm abandonment, remedial cementing, or high-deviation casing separation, the CAT delivers consistent results. With in-house manufacturing and same-day tool delivery available across the Permian, B&R Tools & Service ensures you never wait on critical equipment.
