Enteq Technologies announced the successful completion of downhole drilling testing for the SABER Tool, the company’s game-changing alternative to traditional rotary steerable systems (RSS), with the system proven to be effective in an operational environment.
The trials took place at Catoosa Drill Test Facility in Oklahoma, following initial testing in Norway earlier this year. During an extensive drilling programme, 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, both confirming the ability of SABER 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.
