Exploring and drilling for natural gas, oil, and other resources has become a booming profession around the world. To ensure safety and efficiency, equipment like stabbing guides plays a crucial role in the drilling process.

Understanding Stabbing in Drilling

Stabbing, in the driller’s world, has an entirely different definition than the one that immediately comes to mind. Rather than the act of using a knife, it refers to placing the male-threaded end of a section of pipe into the female threads of another section of pipe before making a tight connection. The joined sections of pipe are usually part of a pipe string put together on the deck of a rig while drilling at a site.

What is a Stabbing Guide?

Another alien term to people outside the drilling industry is stabbing guide. A stabbing guide, or funnel guide, is made of high-grade steel or strong urethane and is used during the construction of a string of pipe to align the pin-to-box threads between two sections of pipe and prevent damage to the threading or connection failure.

Stabbing Guide Specifications

Stabbing guide models are designed to fit a broad range of pipe size, from 1″ to 18″ and for use in tubing, casing and drilling applications. The guides are opened and closed using a spring loaded latch in the closed position or a torsion spring.

In demanding and exacting work like drilling, stabbing guides provide an extra measure of precision to ensure that pipe connections are properly aligned, secure and tight. At MSI, we have a selection of stabbing guides that can be used for both standard and heavy duty. Contact us for more information or to request a sample.
