Please note that beside the ranges below, we also offer custom tool sizes for odd hole sizes upon request. 

Fixedblade Range: 17 1/2″ series, 16″ series, 12 1/4″ series, 8 1/2″ series, and 6″ series in both string and nearbit version.  

Fixedblade Reamer: Currently we offer the Fixedblade Reamer in the 12 1/4″, 8 1/2″ and 6″ series.

Switchblade Range: 17″ Series, 16″ Series and the 12″ Series. 
Please note, the Switchblade tools can be configured as a Stabilizer or a Reamer, or a combination of both, (the hybrid version). The stabilizer version is adjusted by 1” (inch) in increments of 1/8”. The Reamer version is Adjustable by ½” (inch) in increments of 1/8”. The blades are all interchangeable throughout the range from the 12” series through to the 17” series. 

ED-Projects offer a range of stabilizers and reamers from the 17-1/2” hole size to the 6” hole size. We are also willing to build customized tools if required.

We supply two main categories of stabilizers and reamers, the Switchblade and Fixedblade.
All ED-Projects range of tools are recognizable by their unique design features, blade orientation, open profile, (no spiral blade profile) all blades have a dome profile (no sharp edges). The tools for the 17-1/2” and 16” hole sections all have 8 blades, 4 blades mounted in the down-flow position and 4 mounted in the up-flow position. The tools from the 12-1/4” hole size to the 6” hole size, all have 6 blades, 3 down-flow, and 3 up-flow.           

ED-Projects range of tools are different from conventional stabilizers, in profile and geometry. The orientation and placement of the blades improve weight and energy transfer while enhancing the flow through and around the blades, improving the transportation of cuttings and ECD.
The domed profile of the blades (no sharp edges) reduces rotary torque and vibration while protecting the filter-cake. The 8-points of contact on the 17-1/2” and 16” tools and 6-points of contact on the smaller sizes, provides all-round contact with the borehole.

We offer a range of different types of hardfacing from tungsten carbide tiles HF 3000 (Quicktip), HF5000 to HF6500. However, we usually go with what is readily repairable in the region where the tools are deployed. We also offer diamond enhanced hardfacing upon request. 

When choosing a stabilizer to run above a steerable motor or applications where an adjustable outer diameter is preferred in order to fine tune and improve the performance of the BHA. Also, the Switchblade is ideal for remote locations where turnaround times are a challenge. 

The Switchblade has the following application advantages over integral blade stabilizers:

• Damaged or worn blades can be replaced on location if required;
• The outer diameter of the blades can be adjusted by 1” in increments of 1/8” by using shims. This eliminates the need for under gauge stabilizers on location;
• The blades are interchangeable throughout the range i.e. from 12-1/4” – 16” and 17-1/2”;
• The tool can be configured as a stabilizer or a reamer or as a combination of both i.e. a hybrid reamer;
• The Switchblade is the ideal tool to run above a steerable motor as the outer diameter can be adjusted/fine tuned to suit the build-up requirements and borehole trajectory, the lower set of blades can be gauged lower than the upper set to provide a taper, which will minimize hanging-up and motor stalls when slide drilling.

The reasons above make the Switchblade the ideal tool to have on remote locations.

The difference between our hybrid reamer and fixed cutter reaming tools is that the operator can configure the tool to suit a variety of applications. For instance: the tool can be configured to have an inactive cutting action when drilling and a reaming capability if required when POOH. The depth of the cut of the reamer blades can be determined by adjusting the height of the stabilizer blade if required, the tool can be configured as a full-reamer, or a stabilizer, or a combination of both reamer and stabilizer i.e. hybrid reamer. 

As stated earlier due to the ability to alter the outer diameter of both reamer and stabilizer blade the tool can be configured to cover a range of applications. The stabilizer blade can be adjusted to limit the depth of cut of the reamer cutters, to reduce rotary torque and vibration. The reamer blades can be gauged to have a passive cutting action when drilling and a reaming capability when pulling out of highly deviated wells when required.
