Improve Overall Performance and Wellbore Placement
high dogleg wells
optimal directional
response helps ensure wells are drilled to plan
The D-Tech high dogleg tool (HDLT) provides maximum performance in HDL applications. Able to drill vertical, curve, and lateral sections in a single run, it can deliver high build rates and reduce wellbore delivery times by minimizing the number of BHAs needed to cover multiple sections.
Many high dogleg solutions on the market rely on lower stiffness, flexible joints, or flex subs to achieve higher build rates. These configurations can lead to control instability, making accurate directional control in lateral sections more challenging.
The D-Tech fully rotating, ruggedized HDLT can achieve high doglegs without relying on low stiffness BHA components. The high torsional stiffness provides efficient weight and torque transfer to the bit, eliminating unique drill bit solutions or specialized connections. By avoiding highly flexible BHA designs, it delivers accurate and predictable directional control in both curve and extended-lateral sections.
Benefits
Wells drilled with the D-Tech HDLT can enter production zones more quickly, maximizing reservoir recovery by staying within the target section for longer durations. This capability is enabled by a fully load-bearing tool design, where all external components contribute to the load transfer process.
