Through its patented Anti Stick-slip Tool (AST), Tomax provides a stable, safe drilling environment, free from stick-slip vibrations produced in the process of cutting through problematic underground formations. The suppression of stick-slip vibrations will also release energy for faster rates of penetration (ROP). As a result, the use of AST will always add significant value where the drilling operation faces risk from stick-slip vibrations.
Midland Basin (Spraberry and Wolfcamp) Objective The Tomax Anti Stick-Slip Tool (AST) reduces motor wear from stalls. Stalls includes the short invisible stops from High […]
Southern Midland Basin Objective The Tomax Anti Stick-Slip Tool (AST) reduces motor wear from stalls. That includes the short invisible stops from High Frequency Torsional […]
Normally it is Tomax that makes presentations about field statistics and performance to operators. This time it was the other way round: Cimarex Energy Co […]
Zadco UAE (Upper Zakum Development Company), with majority shareholder ADNOC, needed to expand ERD capabilities beyond 10,000m and saw excessive friction and stick-slip as challenges. […]
First case report with practically full AST implementation The Aker BP drilling team had an ambitious goal for speed on Ivar Aasen. As a result, […]
Drilling hard carbonates is often a costly affair with slow ROP and equipment damage. At the international IADC/SPE Drilling Conference in London 2015, Norwegian operator […]
The maximum drilling torque supplied from the Top Drive is defined by the highest peaks produced downhole. An AST can be used to reduce such […]
Deepwater exploration from large drillships is on the rise. These vessels offer great benefits in terms of mobility and capacity but, from a drilling perspective, […]
Objectives The primary objective was to maximise drilling efficiency in the 5 5/8” section through the hard abrasive Lower Fulmar Sandstone. A turbine BHA was […]
High temperature, high pressure wells are always demanding. One obvious challenge is to keep the mud cool. If the mud gets too hot, vital functions […]
