Hydraulic Oscillator: Revolutionizing Weight Transfer in Extended-Reach Drilling
The Friction & Weight Transfer Challenge
In extended-reach and directional wells, drillers face:
-Poor weight-on-bit transfer reducing ROP by 30-50% in long laterals
-High friction factors causing stick-slip and torsional vibrations
-Tool face instability requiring constant correction in complex formations
-Increased stuck pipe risk in high-angle sections
Our hydraulic oscillator delivers:
✅ 50% friction reduction between BHA and wellbore
✅ 90% improved WOB transfer to the bit
✅ Stable tool face control even in complex geology
