BACKGROUND
The Mechanical Thruster keeps the bit engaged with formation at all times, especially during transition zones. It balances pump open force and WOB, maximizing weight transfer and increasing ROP.
CHALLENGE
Major operator experiencing multiple trips per section and associated NPT, while pad drilling the 311 mm intermediate section.
SOLUTION
Optimized MT6-800 configuration and placement for maximum effectiveness. This resulted in a consistent elimination of one bit trip per intermediate section.
