Step Change in Drilling Process with Turbocaser Express
Deep Casing Tools has launched the first ever drill-through tool to ensure casing to target depth, allowing wells to be drilled as planned and enhancing integrity. The company’s breakthrough Turbocaser Express delivers a step change in drilling industry process. After reaming casing to target depth, the Turbocaser Express has a unique, patented internal design that can be drilled through in minutes with standard drill bits after normal cementing, in one cost-effective operation.
Drillers face an ever-increasing demand to run casings to greater depths and at higher angles. Tools that enable drilling teams to land down hole assemblies at target depth first time can decrease drilling costs and have obvious economic attractions. Often, conventional methods are also not practical or prudent – for example, the size or length of the casing can make it impossible to rotate on smaller rigs, and the well path may prevent rotation in any event.
Single Body
Manufactured as a single body from high-strength steel, the Turbocaser Express is a rugged and reliable down hole tool that can ream casings through obstructions, is fully high pressure/high temperature compliant and works with any drilling fluid without deterioration in power output, reliability or performance. Orders for the Turbocaser Express have already been placed by two global major operators and a Middle East independent company.
Orders
“In demanding down hole conditions, getting casing to target depth, or landing the casing exactly in the subsea tree, is an essential first step for ensuring wellbore integrity and constructing the well as planned” , said Lance Davis, CEO of Deep Casing Tools. “After developing the Express version of the Turbocaser system, we now have orders from operators from as far as the Middle East and Alaska, where the technology can dramatically reduce the risks and costs of well construction.”
