We understand that each wellbore can pose a variety of unique challenges in meeting your drilling KPIs. That’s why we offer a wide range of durable and effective BHA tools to help reach TD faster, stay in the sweet spot longer, and land at the desired location to help you achieve your objectives.

In drilling applications requiring hole reaming, our diamond-enhanced insert (DEI) reamer delivers across a broad range of applications, with its integral body design incorporating state-of-the-art synthetic DEIs that shear the hole wall, providing a full-gauge wellbore in soft to medium-hard formations. For hard and abrasive formations, our diamond-enhanced insert stabilizer is purpose built for maximum performance, combining the synthetic DEI technology with field-proven hardfacing technology.

The integral blade stabilizer, manufactured from high-strength alloy steel as a single-piece tool, ensures maximum fluid circulation while minimizing torque and reducing damage to the wellbore wall. In applications using fixed-blade stabilizers, our OnGauge™ torque-reduction sealed-bearing roller reamer reduces the downhole torque typically experienced, enabling a more stable drilling environment.

The double-diamond combo tool is a single-piece tool for wellbore reaming and stabilization. This single-piece tool manufactured from high-strength alloy is an extremely effective bottomhole stabilizer where severe crooked hole tendencies are encountered.

In tough drilling situations, our drilling jars and accelerators reduce the risk of expensive equipment loss and the substantial costs of plugging back and sidetracking.

The WELL COMMANDER™ ball-activated drilling circulating valve mitigates drilling hazards and places lost circulation materials (LCM) by providing an alternative circulation path for placing lost circulation and wellbore strengthening materials. The WELL DEFENDER™ multiactivation drilling valve delivers specialized LCM and preventive borehole stress treatments, enhancing hole cleaning, enabling cuttings bed movement, and reducing drilling NPT.

Protect drilling equipment from circulating debris damage in any drilling application with the MUDGARD™ workstring filter, which protects equipment susceptible to damage from debris contained in the circulating system.

Additional wellbore and drillstring BHA damage can be prevented with the MAGNOSHIELD™ drillstring magnet. This through-borehole ferrous debris and fines collection and retention tool delivers protection from damage-causing and performance-limiting debris and fines traveling through the drillstring.

For openhole applications, the MAGNOGARD™ openhole magnet removes potentially damaging metallic debris and magnetized particles before causing NPT. Designed for any openhole application with the potential for downhole debris, the MAGNOGARD openhole magnet helps reduce downhole premature bit wear and BHA exposure to metallic and magnetic debris and junk by capturing and retaining debris.

In applications with the potential for significant amounts of ferrous debris, the MAGNOSTAR™ high-capacity magnet is ideal for large-volume cleaning in high-torque strings. Displacements, postperforating, prefracturing, multizone completions, milling, burning, fishing, and smart completions are ideal applications for the MAGNOSTAR high-capacity magnet, especially when there is the potential for a significant amount of ferrous debris.
