Spiralling part 2
In this video, Tom explains more about downhole spiralling problems.
1/4″ Under gauge!
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...

Visiting Houston (11-16 April 2018)
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...
ED-Projects at OGWA exhibition Oman. With the new Reamerblade.
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
IADC 2017 Presentation
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...
Optimising conventional drilling techniques
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....
Spend it to save it
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...
Bolts
I am surprised by the reaction of some drilling engineers to bolts when presenting the functional benefits of the Switchblade drillstring stabilization system. The technical benefits are readily accepted, the only adverse remark is It’s got bolts....
Case study

The Problems We Face When Drilling Highly Deviated Wells Are Self Imposed…
The issues may derive from lack of experience, incorrect choice of tools, and/or poor supervision. The problems we create when drilling top-hole sections will compound and complicate operations all the way to TD. This diminishes the chances of delivering a wellbore...
Thus, The Lowly Stabiliser
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.
