VetcoGray KFDJ diverter systemThe VetcoGray KFDJ diverter system is used on platforms and jack-up rigs to protect against shallow gas kicks during drilling operations. It includes a full range of insert packer sizes, all of which use a “J” type running tool. In the event of a shallow gas kick, the diverter is energized to seal around the drill pipe and divert the gas safely overboard. It is available with a rotating insert which provides low pressure packoff on the kelly or drill pipe during drilling. Support housing allows installation of outlets up to 20” diameter to virtually any configuration. Mudline suspension hangers and bit sizes up to 27.41” (for 37 ½” rotaries) or 36.41” (for 49 ½” rotaries) can be run without removing the diverter assembly. Diverter, spacer spool and overshot packer each fit through a 37 ½” rotary table. Minimum bore through the standard support housing is 36 ½” ID for the 37 ½” rotary installation. Optional 37 ½” bore is available.

VetcoGray KFDS diverterFor 25 years, the integrated VetcoGray KFDS diverter technology has provided field-proven protection from shallow gas blowouts. All support housing, overboard lines and associated valving are permanently installed on the rig structure, and the assembly is run and retrieved through the rotary table with the marine riser. Variable outlet sizes and orientations can accommodate virtually any rig design. Valving is external, allowing for rig design variation and valve/actuator preferences.

VetcoGray KFDJ model J diverterDesigned with all the field-proven features of our standard VetcoGray KFDJ diverter, but with fewer hydraulic connections, this version has a “J” lock between the diverter and the support housing. The simplified design has three hydraulic functions: energizing/venting the diverter packing, flowline seals and overshot packer. All support housing and diverter assembly components feature heavy wall construction for pressure containment and erosion protection during high-velocity, multi-phase flow. Insert packers are available in a full range of sizes and designs can be customized for specific applications.
