Enteq Technologies announced a significant milestone for the SABER (Steer-At-Bit Enteq Rotary) tool, the company’s alternative to traditional rotary steerable systems (RSS). In recently completed downhole drilling testing, the system proved to be effective in an operational environment.
The trials took place at the Catoosa Drill Test Facility in Oklahoma, following initial testing in Norway earlier this year. During an extensive drilling program, the SABER system met the test objectives, successfully generating steering forces to change the trajectory of a well (generating dogleg) in typical reservoir rock conditions. An independent survey has been conducted to measure the well trajectory, and an expert review was conducted, with both confirming the tool’s ability to provide sufficient steering forces for the target commercial applications.
Enteq Technologies plc (LON:NTQ) develops and supplies equipment for Measurement, Logging and Geo-steering while drilling of wells for the Geothermal, Oil and Gas markets.
