TurbocaserTM
The Turbocaser is a powered, drill-through casing/liner reaming system to facilitate first time placement of casing and liners to planned setting depth.
Using a mud motor the purpose designed reamer shoe rotates at significantly higher speeds than are achieved conventionally using a top drive for rotation for better reaming rates.
Features and benefits
| Reduces remedial activity | >>> reduced NPT for cost savings, self funding |
| Gets the casing to TD | >>> no lost production |
| Mud Powered | >>> no need to rotate the casing |
| Drillable BHA | >>> no operational risk, time efficient |
| Risk mitigation | >>> low cost BHA |
| Suits all rigs | >>> no top drive or casing drive system required |
| Existing technology | >>> confidence |
The Turbocaser, patent pending, is currently in development with prototype testing in Q4 2008
