TAQA, a leading well solutions provider in the energy industry, is making waves with the commercial launch of their innovative Threlix technology. Designed to address downhole drilling dysfunctions associated with vibration and torsional oscillations, Threlix is set to revolutionize the way oil and gas operators approach drilling operations.
Operators often face challenges with drilling reliability when using Rotary Steerable Systems, as issues like stick slip and erratic torque can damage equipment and lead to decreased drilling efficiency. This is where Threlix steps in, offering a solution that not only reduces downtime but also cuts down on repair and maintenance costs for drilling equipment.
What sets Threlix apart is its unique helical spring design and fully sealed internal components, which work to balance downhole forces and maintain consistent drilling parameters. By preventing drilling fluid intrusion and reducing internal friction, Threlix provides increased downhole reliability and improved overall drilling efficiency.
Operators who have implemented Threlix into their drilling operations have seen significant improvements in ROP and equipment lifespan. In fact, a major operator in the Montney play was able to achieve a 38% increase in average ROP and complete a production section with a single bit run after incorporating Threlix into their RSS.
With full engineering support provided by TAQA, operators can trust that Threlix is tailored to meet the requirements of any formation and application. Cory Blanchette, Global Product Line Manager, Downhole Tools at TAQA, emphasizes the impact of Threlix, stating, “We’ve realized what we believe to be the most robust and highest performing torsional mitigation tool on the market today.”
As Threlix continues to gain traction in the industry, operators can look forward to increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and improved drilling reliability thanks to this groundbreaking technology.
