Oilfield drilling tools supplier in Venezuela

Direct answer: who supplies oilfield drilling tools in Venezuela — COMERINC, C.A. (RIF J-50502956-8, Caracas). We are a drilling tools supplier working with American manufacturers, and we sell the oilfield equipment that runs on the rig floor and downhole: bits, bottom-hole assembly components, flow-control tools, fishing tools and handling tools, built to API specification, for drilling and workover operations run by operating and service companies in the country.

This page is about tools. If you are looking for the rigs themselves, sale and rental of units from rod rigs to 2,000 HP drilling rigs is covered on our drilling rigs in Venezuela page. And if the unit will be leased rather than bought, we break down who rents rigs in the country and what belongs in the contract — day rate, mobilization and standby included.

Tool categories we supply, and what each one is for

Drill bits

• PDC bits (polycrystalline diamond compact), matrix or steel body, selected by blade count and cutter size for the section and rate of penetration you need.
• Tricone / roller cone bits, tungsten carbide insert (TCI) for hard and abrasive formations, milled tooth for soft sections — identified by IADC code.
• Hole openers and reaming tools for enlarging an existing hole.
• Nozzles and nozzle change kits, breaker plates and bit boxes.

Drill string and BHA components

• Drill collars, slick and spiral, in AISI 4145H modified steel — weight on bit and BHA stiffness.
• Heavy weight drill pipe as the transition between collars and drill pipe.
• Stabilizers: integral blade and sleeve type, near-bit and string, to control hole deviation and keep the bit on centre.
• Subs: crossover (XO) subs between different connections, bit subs, float subs, lift subs, saver subs and shock subs.

Flow control and string protection

• Float valves (plunger and flapper type) to prevent backflow up the string.
• Drill pipe screens to stop debris reaching the bit nozzles or the mud motor.
• Restrictor valves and baffle plates.
• Thread protectors for transport and storage.

Fishing tools

For recovering a fish — a bit cone, a parted string, junk on bottom — during drilling or workover: overshots and spears with their grapples, junk mills, taper taps and die collars, junk baskets, fishing magnets, bumper subs and wash pipe. Tell us the fish OD, the depth and the hole size and we quote the assembly, not just the piece.

Handling tools for the rig floor

• Elevators: drill pipe, casing, tubing and single-joint.
• Slips: rotary, drill collar, casing and tubing, with their inserts.
• Tongs: manual and power tongs, with dies and jaws.
• Safety clamps, elevator links (bails), lifting subs and lifting nubbins.

API specifications and grades we quote against

Reference	What it covers	Why it matters on your order
API Spec 7-1	Rotary drill stem elements: drill collars, kellys, subs, stabilizers	Dimensional and material control of the BHA components you buy
API Spec 7-2	Threading and gauging of rotary shouldered connections	The connection actually makes up with the string you already have
API Spec 5DP	Drill pipe — grades E-75, X-95, G-105, S-135	Sets tensile and torsional limits for the string
API Spec 7K / 8C	Drilling and well servicing equipment; hoisting equipment (PSL 1 / PSL 2)	Load rating and traceability of elevators, slips, tongs and links
API RP 7G	Drill stem design and operating limits	Make-up torque and working limits stated with the tool
IADC code	Roller cone bit classification and dull grading	Lets us match the replacement bit to what the last one did
NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156	Materials for sour (H2S) service	Mandatory if the well has hydrogen sulphide

Sizing and connections: what to send with your enquiry

A drilling tool quote is fast when the specification is complete. Send us:

1. Hole or casing size and the section you are drilling or servicing.
2. Tool OD and ID, and length for collars, subs and stabilizers.
3. Connection and gender: NC26, NC31, NC38, NC46, NC50, 5-1/2 FH, 6-5/8 REG… pin or box on each end.
4. Formation and expected footage (for bits), plus the IADC code or the dull grade of the previous bit.
5. Sour service: yes or no, and expected H₂S concentration.
6. New or refurbished, purchase or rental, and the quantity.
7. Delivery city and the operator or contract the material is for.

If you only have a nameplate photo or an old part number, send that — we work back from it.

Workover and well intervention

Not every job is a new well. For workover and well service units we supply string accessories, tubing and rod handling tools, fishing assemblies for stuck or parted strings, and the surface handling equipment the unit needs. Pumping and well intervention services such as coiled tubing are arranged separately with allied American companies.

Inspection, certification and traceability

Operators auditing a supplier in Venezuela ask for paperwork before they ask for price. With the tooling we deliver, on request:

• Mill test reports (MTR) with heat number, and material certificates.
• API monogram where the product category carries it, and PSL level for hoisting equipment.
• Category inspection of used drill stem elements, including magnetic particle and ultrasonic inspection of connections.
• Rethreading, hardbanding and refacing of shoulders on tools already in service.
• Third-party inspection at origin before shipment, when the contract requires it.

Lead times, spare parts and how to request a quote

Lead times are indicative and always confirmed in writing per order: material already in country ships within days; standard imported tooling and consumable wear parts usually run a few weeks door to door; custom-machined BHA components and special bit designs are quoted per project. The committed date goes in the quote, before your purchase order.

Replacement and wear parts are a large part of what we move: tong dies and jaws, slip inserts, elevator latches and bushings, bit nozzles and nozzle change kits, float valve repair kits, stabilizer sleeves and thread protectors. Sourcing one worn part is often what keeps a rig from standing down.

1. Send the specification to ventas@comerinca.com, by WhatsApp +58 424-187-9150 or through our contact page.
2. We come back with a formal quote in USD, with certification, lead time and delivery terms.
3. Delivery to the rig, base or warehouse, in Caracas, Maracaibo, Maturín, Anaco, El Tigre, Puerto La Cruz, Barcelona, Cabimas, Punto Fijo, Ciudad Guayana, Valencia, Barquisimeto and Maracay.

Why oil and gas companies source their oilfield equipment here

Companies such as PDVSA, Maurel & Prom and Drillmec rely on COMERINC to source tools and equipment in Venezuela. We are a Venezuelan company with RIF, able to invoice locally and quote in USD, we handle the import and customs side, and we serve international operators in English and Spanish — which matters when the technical specification comes from a head office abroad and the purchase order has to be issued in country. New to the market? Read our guide for international operators sourcing PPE and equipment in Venezuela.

Because we also run a certified PPE line, the same order can cover the crew: respiratory protection, dielectric gloves, NFPA 2112 FR coveralls, fall protection and safety footwear — one supplier, one invoice, one delivery.
