background & Solution:

A Delaware Basin operator was seeking to increase bit and BHA life in their intermediate sections to be able to drill longer and faster. After performing a detailed pre run analysis, the MT6 Dual Acting Mechanical Thruster was introduced on the 3rd well of the pad.

RESULTS

What is the mechanical thruster?

The Mechanical Thruster is a spring loaded downhole tool that balances mechanic and hydraulic forces to keep the bit engaged with formation at all times, especially during transition zones. It balances pump open forces and WOB, maximizing weight transfer and increasing ROP.

RELIABLE. CAPABLE. CONSISTENT.
