Remember when we were still able to do this? These images were taken a little over a year ago on my third rig visit to Oman and they were part that helped me shape my view of the short time I’ve spent in the industry. Trading my bread and cheese & normal office...

A more personal interview talking about where ED-Projects mission came from and where we are going. Staying positive in the downturn is a challenge, however, we have been here before. In 1986 & 1998 oil prices got to $14 and $12 a barrel respectively,...

Hey Tom! Episode 5 - in this episode we are talking about the importance of adequate stabilization points behind a rotary steerable system. This topic came to existence after numerous runs in the Middle-East and Europe, where did see a significant...

New Partnership in Kurdistan We are delighted to announce that we have recently teamed up with Independent Oil Tools (IOT) in the region of Kurdistan. IOT will represent and supply our innovative range of stabilizers and reamers in Iraq and will help us...

Hey Tom! Episode 4 - in this episode Tom is talking about how performance means different things to different people. For the driller, it means drilling more meters than his back-to-back. For the bit provider, it means getting more ROP than his...

It is that time of the year again and we are planning our trip to ADIPEC; we are looking forward to seeing you, please come by our stand and say hello. This year, in addition to our Switchblade and Fixedblade Stabilizers, we are exhibiting our recently...

In this video, Tom explains more about downhole spiralling problems.

In this video, Tom is explaining the advantages of running stabilizers ¼” under-gauge in comparison to 1/8”. Running stabilizers too close to gauge can cause pinch points coming out of a hole which we know is not cylindrical. Remember: 1/8” only is the...

Here's our third episode of Tom explaining what he's trying to do with our stabilizers. Let us know what you think!

The second episode in our Hey Tom! series. This time: converting the stabilizer into a reamer. Please find out more information here: https://ed-projects.com/reamerblade/

One of the great things with working in our office is that you get to learn a lot. And not just information related to the oil and gas industry. We give a minimum of 1 presentation a month on a random topic which we can choose. We've noticed, however, that we don't...

Here's a video featuring our latest tool, don't forget to turn on the audio. Tomorrow we're having a lunch and learn to launch the Reamerblade. This session will start at 11:00 a.m. in our office in Heerhugowaard (Marconistraat 3). We got drinks and sandwiches so...

We just came back from visiting the Lone Star State to run our stabilizers, something we consider as another significant milestone for our company. The main problem our tool addresses in Texas is vibration, a problem we see worldwide. A problem, we believe, is partly...

Always moving forward That's what came to mind when describing the process of developing the new Reamerblade. This tool is designed to minimize borehole tortuosity by elongating micro doglegs and borehole spiral patterns. The Reamerblades are interchangeable with the...

Visit us at ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi. Together with Cutting & Wear we are displaying our latest developments and stabilization tools. Come visit us in hall 8 stand number 8550

During the 2017 IADC conference in Dubai our Fixedblade stabilizer was highlighted in an official IADC presentation. Saudi Aramco presented the excellent Fixedblade results from trial runs conducted while drilling two dual-lateral wells in KSA region. The presentation...

The drilling industry has never been more challenged than it is currently; consequently, we need to go back to bases and have a closer look at the root cause of many of the drillstring and borehole related problems we are currently confronted with on a daily basis....

Having spent many hours talking to various customers I noticed an alarming trend, perhaps caused by the prolonged downturn in the industry. I would call this trend as “not seeing the value behind the cost”. Other service or equipment providers will...

This month the ED Projects Switchblade stabilizer was highlighted in the online edition of Offshore Engineer. ERD wells push distance boundaries Scott Weeden looks at new developments in extended reach drilling, which include managing vibrations, thereby allowing the...

An IADD paper written by Fred Dupriest identifies why BHA whirl, the most destructive downhole force, can be reduced by stabiliser positioning and design, which in turn decreases vibration related tool failures.
