Pressure Control & Flow Iron Equipment
Engineering-Led Pressure Containment Systems Built to Protect People, Wells & Assets
Effective pressure control is fundamental to safe drilling, well intervention, workover, and flowback operations. Tasman supplies pressure control and flow iron equipment engineered to integrate seamlessly with drilling tools, tubular handling systems, and fluid storage assets as part of a complete wellsite execution system.
Rather than treating pressure control as a standalone rental, Tasman configures pressure containment systems around well objectives, anticipated pressures, and operational contingencies—reducing interface risk, improving safety outcomes, and minimising non-productive time (NPT) across Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.
Pressure Control & Flow Iron — Core Capabilities
Tasman’s pressure control fleet supports both primary and secondary well control across drilling, intervention, and flowback operations. Equipment is selected, inspected, and configured to suit pressure ratings, flow regimes, and operational complexity.
These systems are commonly deployed alongside drilling rental tools, frac tanks, mixing systems, and wellsite logistics to maintain pressure integrity throughout all phases of the operation.
All equipment is inspected, pressure tested and prepared prior to mobilisation to ensure readiness for both planned operations and unexpected pressure events.
Products & Services
Pressure Control Equipment
Primary pressure control equipment forms the first line of defence against uncontrolled well flow. These systems are critical during drilling and well construction activities where wellbore pressure must be contained at all times.
- Blowout Preventers (BOPs) – Provide primary mechanical well control during drilling operations
- Large-diameter diverters (up to 21-1/4”) – Divert shallow gas or fluids safely away from the rig
- Rotating control devices (RCDs) – Enable managed pressure and closed-loop drilling operations
Primary pressure control equipment is integrated with drilling workstrings, drilling fluids, and handling systems to maintain continuous control of wellbore pressure
Secondary Pressure Control & Flow Iron Systems
Secondary pressure control systems manage flow once fluids are intentionally brought to surface or during intervention, flowback, and testing operations. These systems provide controlled flow paths and surface pressure containment.
- Gate valves – Isolate and control flow under pressure
- Plug valves – Enable rapid flow control and line isolation
- Choke manifolds – Regulate flow rates and surface pressures
- 2” & 3” 1502 flow iron – High-pressure flowlines for intervention and flowback operations
Suspending systems are commonly configured as part of complete handling packages to improve rig-floor safety and reduce manual handling risk.
Make-Up / Break-Out Tools
Make-up and break-out tools apply controlled torque to assemble or disassemble tubular connections during drilling and intervention operations.
- Manual tongs – Apply torque in low-capacity or confined environments
- Hydraulic tongs – Deliver controlled torque for larger tubulars
- Power tongs – High-capacity torque application for drilling and casing operations
- Spinners – Rapidly spin tubulars to speed up connection make-up
Flow iron systems are configured as modular packages, allowing rapid reconfiguration to suit changing well conditions, flow rates, and pressure requirements.
These systems are frequently deployed alongside frac tanks, flowback tanks, and fluid storage assets to safely manage returns.
Flowback, Flare & Ancillary Pressure Equipment
Flowback and flare equipment is used to safely manage produced fluids, gases, and solids during well clean-up, testing, and intervention operations.
- Flare lines – Safely convey hydrocarbons to flare stacks
- Flare stands – Support elevated and controlled flaring operations
- Ancillary pressure equipment – Connect, isolate, and control surface flow paths
This equipment is commonly integrated with flow iron, frac tanks, and containment systems to support controlled well clean-up and pressure management.
Configuring these systems as part of an integrated package improves safety, reduces setup time, and enhances operational control.
Talk to Tasman Early
Reliable pressure control begins well before equipment reaches site. Proper specification, pressure rating verification, and system layout planning are critical to maintaining well integrity and operational safety.
By engaging Tasman early, you ensure flow iron and pressure control equipment are correctly configured, certified, and fully compatible with your program — reducing risk, preventing costly delays, and strengthening execution confidence.
