Drilling operator A-Energy knows how to reduce drilling time and minimize wells dogleg severity.

The company reaches such impressive results due to using certified telemetering equipment.

These modern technologies are used for directional wells drilling.

Whatever the required type of telemetering or production tests are, the applied equipment allows reducing drilling time and minimizing wells dogleg severity.

The measuring equipment (MWD) and logging equipment (LWD) provide specialists with the data required for navigation and reservoir properties assessment while drilling process.

Present-day operated systems used for particular application include devices with full range of measured drilling variables, transmitted to the surface at high speed, high density even at fast footage. They help to receive on-line reliable data, accurate measurements for all main drilling methods.

There are some additional requirements applied to the equipment used for high capacity drilling of complex wells: on-line data transmission, continued drilling bit measurements, detection of vibration and push loading levels, bit speed measurement, inclination and horizontal angles automated hold mode.

For such purposes rotary controlled systems (RCS) are used. Such equipment allows drilling wells with smoother profile due to the absence of the extended pipe bend by means of reducing the rubber effect and hole cleaning.

Higher driving speed with continued drill pipe rotation helps to avoid sidewall sticking, reduces time for cuttings removal from the hole, reduces harmful effect of drill mud on productive formation and provides quicker placing of well on production.
