The Challenge
Well tortuosity and torque can create a less stable environment in vertical and directional drilling applications. Roller reamers are often needed to enlarge the borehole or smooth rough ledges that can increase wear and tear on equipment and increase …
The Challenge
A wellbore with high tortuosity and rough ledges can create efficiency challenges in vertical and directional drilling applications. Doglegs can increase friction in the drillstring, raising the probability of getting stuck downhole or failing to reach total depth.
The Solution

The Challenge
When drilling deviated wells, geosteered wells or wells that require directional corrections, you increase well tortuosity and create doglegs and ledges across your wellbore. These ledges can cause an accumulation of torque and drag when you drill and run …
