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.
Use of composite plugs makes milling faster, but in this case a plug set in a 7” liner had to be milled by a 2 […]
Drilling of slim diameter laterals in the Southern North Sea carbonates can be troublesome due to friction. In this case a new lateral was drilled […]
Milling collapsed pipe is difficult and in this case it was done deep down in an extended reach well. To be able to land and […]
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 […]
A production packer was set in the wrong place and needed milling out from inside a new, high grade tubing. In order to safely mill […]
Bad weather on floating drilling facilities can make the heave compensator struggle and the WOB becomes unstable. An AST can be used to improve on […]
Offeset data stated a minimum of two bit run was needed to reach TD in a Central North Sea well. By deploying an AST and […]
Drilling a slim hole from a semi-submersible in rough seas was almost impossible due to inadequate load on the heave compensator system. AST was called […]
Use of very aggressive PDC cutters, a RSS system with a mud motor and an AST produced a steady cut through hard limestone and repeatedly […]
The AST principle provides a stabilized load on the bit in lateral and extended reach wells to prevent erratic reactive torque that would otherwise reduce […]
