Suppressor flex dampening tool

High-frequency torsional dampening flex sub designed to improve efficiency without impacting BHA design

Overview

Based on proven SLB suppressor technology, the Suppressor flex dampening tool reduces high-frequency torsional vibration downhole. Its integrated design eliminates the need for additional tools and connections within the BHA, minimizing the impact of high dogleg severity (DLS) required for demanding directional wells. By decreasing downhole shock and vibration, the Suppressor flex tool enables you to drill sections in a single run, saving unplanned costs associated with tripping time and redundant BHAs.

The Suppressor flex tool lessens the impact of distance below the motor improve directional drilling precision while minimizing motor vibration to enhance drilling efficiency. Moreover, it diminishes excessive shock and vibration at the bit, bolstering bit durability and cutter reliability to accelerate ROP.

Applications

PowerDrive vorteX™ powered rotary steerable system (RSS) BHAs
Directional wells drilled with DLS up to 15°/100 ft rotating and 30°/100 ft sliding
Hard rock formations that induce excessive vibration on the BHA, resulting in premature tool failure
Formations that provoke high cutter damage, resulting in premature trips out of hole

Benefits

Mitigates the risk of BHA tool failure in DLS applications
Prevents the need for added BHA connections
Eliminates unnecessary trips
Enables PDC cutters to stay sharp for higher ROP
Improves footage delivery
Negligibly impacts the distance below motor for improved DLS and steering performance
