Cut safer. Finish faster.
Our excavator-mounted tool grips the casing above the cut, severs it clean, and lifts the section clear — in a single continuous motion. No separate crane. No crew in the cut zone.

The Problem
Wellhead removal hasn’t changed in decades
Cutting torches, standalone lifting rigs, and crew working directly over the wellbore — the traditional method turns a routine step in plug & abandonment into one of the riskiest parts of the job.
How It Works
One attachment. One continuous motion.
The tool mounts to a standard excavator on site — no extra machines to mobilize.
Grip above the cut
The tool clamps the casing well above the intended cut line, taking the full load before a single blade moves.
Cut clean
A hydraulic saw blade cuts through the casing in place — no torch, no open flame, no hot-work permit.
Lift clear
The same jaws that held the cut carry the severed section away. One operator, one machine, one motion.
Safety
Built around one rule: nobody stands at the cut
Every step — clamp, cut, lift — happens from inside the excavator cab. The crew that used to stand over the wellbore now watches from a safe distance.
-
No hot work
The hydraulic saw blade replaces cutting torches, removing the ignition source entirely.
-
One operator, full control
Clamp, cut, and lift are controlled from a single cab — no ground crew positioned under load.
Service
Onshore decommissioning, mobilized fast
Currently operating across the Permian Basin, with mobilization available across Texas onshore fields.
Site assessment
We review casing size, well condition, and site access before mobilizing equipment.
Mobilization
The tool mounts to your excavator or ours — minimal extra equipment on location.
Cut, lift, clear
Wellhead removed and site handed back, ready for the next stage of P&A.
