Rubicon Oilfield: ResonATOR X3 Reduces Downhole Friction

The ResonATOR X3 reduces downhole friction in directional drilling applications, yielding an increased rate of penetration, improved directional control, and reduced stick-slip.

We’ve alleviated these downhole drilling challenges by adding a carbide coated hydraulic rotating valve and eccentric mass on the end of the multi-stage power section that creates both lateral and axial movement.

This lateral and axial movement gently excites the BHA to improve the weight transfer—reducing drag, buckling, and vibration-related damage; and providing you with enhanced effciency and reduced costs.

The increased WOB transfer allows for drilling further and faster. You can drill the required distance confidently and reduce overall costs with a reduction in NPT and damaged tools.

The ResonATOR X3 reduces drag in deep vertical holes and high dog leg curves, down long horizontal lengths, when drilling with motor steerable and when fishing.

It is compatible with multiple tools in the string assembly and features multiple frequency and a multi-stage power section. It also consumes less hydraulic energy due to its lower pressure drop feature. The state-of-the-art design of the ResonATOR X3 makes it suitable for oil-based mud and hot-hole applications.

Drilling operations around the globe will benefit from the ResonATOR X3:

– Greater axial and lateral impact concentrated in the right areas of the BHA, eliminating more drag

– BHA oscillation reducing farther along the drillstring, providing greater weight transfer and energy to the bit

– More effective collaboration with MWD telemetry frequencies and unnecessary moments of pulse interference
