Technology, tool deliver automatic
downhole torque management

Neo Tork downhole torque management technology is unveiled to mitigate slip-stick and vibrations plus cut down drilling time and cost.

The tool automatically manages torque generated from a drill bit and mitigates axial and torsional vibrations. Neo Tork is designed to bring down drilling time, reduce drilling cost, and improve drilling performance “while limiting the number of trips that always remain a safety exposure,” declares its provider.

This tool is designed to ensure once downhole torque exceeds preset limit — a system of disc springs and steel cables automatically contracts to reduce bit depth of cut. Excess torque ‘stored’ in the system is slowly released as the drilling structure drills off.

Crucially, the bit remains engaged in the formation at all times so drilling is never interrupted.

NeoTork may be used in a number of applications on rigs or with coiled tubing in any operation that requires milling, drilling, or cutting of material using rotation. It’s also applicable to such specialized operations as coring, hole enlargement, directional drilling, casing milling, or well intervention.

CO2 membranes, platform combine
to improve hydrocarbon recovery

This oil, gas, and water treatment specialist has partnered with Fujiflm to develop an enhanced line of CO2 membranes for gas separation and removal.

The Apura platform

improves modules longevity to result in signifcant OPEX reduction. With gas production increasingly performed in more challenging conditions and regions, and where reservoirs are more contaminated — the need for extensive fuids treatment increases, and is served by the new membranes/platform combination.
