Manufactured to order does not have to mean a long wait.

We manufacture centralizers and stop collars in Oklahoma City, within easy reach of operators and service companies across the . Our US manufacturing capability allows additional sizes and configurations to be produced to order—without relying on overseas production, ocean freight, port handling or customs clearance, or being limited to what is currently in stock.

That means:
⏩ Faster, more predictable shipping into the Permian
🏪 Local stock of frequently required products
📏 Made-to-order sizes for specific casing programs
👥 Direct access to US-based engineering and product support
🚚 Less exposure to international freight disruption and tariffs

From economical USA single-piece bow-spring centralizers to high-performance S2 products, Centek can supply the right level of performance for each section—paired with a matching stop collar.

Made in Oklahoma City. Engineered for US wells. Ready for the Permian.

More than 3.5 miles of horizontal reach changes the centralization challenge.
Recent reporting highlights Permian laterals extending between 3.5 and four miles as operators pursue greater reservoir contact, improved recovery and greater capital efficiency.

Learn more with our latest editorial: https://zurl.co/IEeqX

Centek products have already supported casing projects with well paths of up to four miles, providing relevant experience as Permian well designs continue to extend.

Longer well paths increase the potential for cumulative casing contact and place greater demands on torque and drag, hookload, hole cleaning and casing cementing.

Reaching TD is only part of the requirement. The casing must also be effectively centralized to support cement placement and long-term zonal isolation.
For challenging curves and extended laterals, the USA-built Centek S2 combines high restoring force with the flexibility and running performance needed for demanding casing programs.

Centek simulations can compare products and spacing across the full string—identifying where S2 performance is justified and where a lower-cost bow-spring solution can meet the section requirements.

Three- and four-mile laterals are moving from exception to development strategy in the Permian Basin.

With horizontal sections now reported beyond 18,000 ft - and horseshoe wells extending development options - operators must balance casing runability, standoff and cement placement against intense cost pressure and increasingly demanding well paths.

Our latest editorial examines how Centek supports that balance with:

➡️ Cost-effective USA and OBS single-piece bow-spring centralizers
➡️ High-performance S2 centralizers for challenging curves and extended laterals
➡️ OBH-W hinged centralizers for larger casing and coupling applications
➡️ Stop collars selected for the anticipated loads and casing grade
➡️ Free simulations to compare predicted running forces, hookload, standoff and spacing

Centek products have already supported casing projects with well paths of up to four miles. We revisit proven Permian results, including a 16,695-ft Wolfcamp casing string that reached bottom in 16.5 hours rather than the expected 30-35 hours, and 135 S2 centralizers that were pulled, inspected and successfully re-run. https://zurl.co/v6G8L

Centek has manufactured products in Oklahoma City since 2012, providing local stock, technical support and fast shipping into the Permian.

Brazil’s deepwater sector continues to set new benchmarks. In June, the Búzios field reached a record 1.2 million barrels per day—underlining the scale and intensity of the country’s offshore well construction activity.

In Brazil’s pre-salt wells, flush-collar casing can provide a streamlined profile through subsea equipment, thick salt sections and long, highly deviated intervals. But removing the casing-collar upset also removes the natural stop that helps retain . Without sufficient holding force, centralizers can migrate or bunch together, compromising the planned spacing and standoff required for effective cement placement.

A Brazilian operator has addressed this challenge by pairing Centek S2 centralizers with UHD stop collars on flush-collar casing strings. Rated to provide ≈ 150,000 lbf of holding force, the UHD is designed to keep centralizers securely positioned in demanding applications. It can also be installed using a torque wrench, without specialist installation equipment.

As Brazil’s offshore developments grow in scale and complexity, stop-collar selection cannot be treated as an afterthought.

What if the casing has to come back out?

In our recent poll on complex or highly deviated wells, around 50% of respondents said they see casing or liner strings pulled before planned TD in 5% or more of runs.

These may be relatively rare events, but they can have a significant impact on rig time and the next casing attempt.

The reasons vary: poor or unstable hole conditions, packing off, restrictions, difficulty landing a hanger, misplaced equipment or an unexpected problem with the string.

Whatever the reason for POOH, the centralizers and stop collars need to remain intact, stay in position and come back with the casing rather than becoming downhole debris. Our products have a 25 year record of doing just that: https://zurl.co/Wh6xE

Re-use must be assessed case by case after inspection. But when a planned run becomes an unplanned round trip, equipment integrity matters on the way out as well as the way in.

What has most often led to an unplanned POOH in your experience?

29/09/2026

Good well planning starts with understanding how the string is expected to perform before it is run.

Centek simulations can help drilling and cementing engineers assess factors including running forces, torque and drag, standoff, well trajectory and centralizer placement — supporting product selection and spacing decisions before reaching the wellsite.

And we have field examples where the results recorded during the run have closely matched the predicted performance.

That means simulation can do more than support a centralizer recommendation. It can provide greater confidence that the planned configuration will perform as expected downhole.

Solid doesn’t always mean stronger.

When casing has to be pulled out of hole, centralizers can be subjected to significant loading as they pass back through restrictions and challenging wellbore conditions.

The priority is simple: remain intact and come back to surface with the casing.

Centek’s single-piece, heat-treated bow spring centralizers are designed to combine strength with the flexibility needed to compress, recover and maintain structural integrity. Learn more: https://zurl.co/QFbmX

Because during POOH, avoiding another downhole problem matters.

What does being pulled out of hole put a and stop collar through?

During an unplanned POOH, centralization equipment may have to pass back through doglegs, restrictions, casing shoes and other high-contact-force sections—often before being run downhole again.

Our latest editorial examines these additional loads and explains why structural integrity and reliable retention on the casing matter when operations do not go to plan.

In offshore Sabah, Malaysia, Centek simulation was used to optimize centralizer placement along a challenging 12,654-ft wellpath with inclination reaching 76°. The actual hook loads recorded during the run closely mirrored the pre-job simulation: https://zurl.co/WJY7i

In a Norwegian North Sea slot-recovery operation, 140 UROS-CT centralizers were selected following modeling, using a combination of one and two centralizers per joint. The actual running forces matched the torque-and-drag model predictions. https://zurl.co/PKfqm
