Enteq Technologies has kicked off an extensive multi-well testing programme, having secured a long-term contractual relationship in Australia. Enteq’s SABER Tool (Steer-At-Bit Enteq Rotary Tool) and team arrived in Australia in late March, before testing commenced in April.
The SABER Tool, based on a concept originally developed by Shell, has been field-proven in a range of operating environments during testing in Norway and the Catoosa Test Facility in Oklahoma last year. This latest testing campaign will see the tool testing across a series of wells in Australia.
Responding to the news, Neil Bird, VP Advanced Drilling Systems, Enteq said: “After five years of development, testing and enhancement, we have a fantastic tool on our hands. The adjustments that have been made have been small, but this is why field trials are vital. They allow us to develop a tool that isn’t just good, it’s great.”
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.
