Revolutionizing Directional Drilling: Enteq Technologies Launches Multi-Well Testing Program in Australia with SABER Tool
In March, Enteq Technologies, a specialist energy services engineering and technology company, launched an extensive multi-well testing program in Australia. The company had secured a long-term contractual relationship in the country and its SABER Tool (Steer-At-Bit Enteq Rotary Tool) and team arrived in Australia in late March.
Enteq CEO Andrew Law highlighted the potential of the SABER Tool to disrupt the directional drilling market. Positive conversations have been happening globally with industry leaders who see the transformational benefits it can bring. The tool’s unique internally directed fluid pressure differential system for steering offers improved reliability and operational efficiency, making it suitable for various applications like hydrocarbon production, geothermal energy, methane capture, and carbon storage.
Neil Bird, VP Advanced Drilling Systems at Enteq, expressed his excitement about the tool’s development over five years and emphasized how field trials are essential for further enhancing its capabilities. The SABER Tool has been tested in various operating environments in Norway and at the Catoosa Test Facility in Oklahoma last year. This current testing campaign will involve testing the tool on a series of wells in Australia.
The transportability of the SABER Tool was also praised as it can be easily transported within the luggage allowance for flights. This feature makes it ideal for remote applications, earning it the nickname “an RSS in a suitcase.” The company’s commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in product development is driving a growing interest in the market for the SABER Tool.
