Overview of BHA Tools
Schlumberger's DrillPlan offers purpose-specific BHA tools designed to tackle the unique challenges presented by each wellbore during drilling operations. These tools are engineered to help achieve drilling Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by enabling operators to reach total depth (TD) faster, stay within the optimal drilling zone longer, and accurately land at the desired location to meet their objectives.
Customized Solutions for Various Applications
Schlumberger's BHA tool arsenal includes a range of solutions tailored for specific drilling applications. For hole reaming needs, the diamond-enhanced insert (DEI) reamer is a versatile option effective in soft to medium-hard formations, delivering a full-gauge wellbore. In challenging hard and abrasive formations, the diamond-enhanced insert stabilizer provides maximum performance by merging synthetic DEI technology with proven hardfacing techniques.
Enhanced Drilling Efficiency
The lineup also includes tools like the integral blade stabilizer and OnGauge™ torque-reduction sealed-bearing roller reamer, each designed to optimize drilling operations by enhancing fluid circulation, minimizing torque, and reducing wellbore wall damage. The double-diamond combo tool, suitable for crooked hole tendencies, combines reaming and stabilization functions in a single-piece design, ensuring robust performance in demanding drilling situations.
Mitigating Drilling Risks
To mitigate risks in tough drilling scenarios, Schlumberger offers drilling jars and accelerators that help prevent equipment loss and costly plugging back and sidetracking operations. The WELL COMMANDER™ ball-activated drilling circulating valve and WELL DEFENDER™ multiactivation drilling valve provide efficient circulation and deliver specialized lost circulation materials (LCM) and stress treatments to enhance hole cleaning and reduce non-productive time (NPT).
Debris Management and Equipment Protection
Ensuring the longevity of drilling equipment is crucial, which is why Schlumberger's BHA tool range includes solutions like the MUDGARD™ workstring filter for debris management and the MAGNOSHIELD™ drillstring magnet for preventing damage from circulating debris. The MAGNOGARD™ openhole magnet and MAGNOSTAR™ high-capacity magnet are specifically designed to remove ferrous debris from openhole applications, offering protection from equipment damage and optimizing drilling performance.
Innovative Solutions for Diverse Applications
From reamers and stabilizers to debris management tools and accelerators, Schlumberger's BHA tools cater to a wide spectrum of drilling requirements, ensuring efficient, reliable, and cost-effective operations across various drilling environments and challenges.
