Description
The HYDRA family of tools provides a variety of functions in the life of a well. This the high-speed system can be configured and run as a high-speed reaming solution for casing or tubular deployment or used as a casing scraper with an integrated wire brush and can as a jetting tool for wellbore clean-up operations.
With rotary speeds in excess of 1500 RPMs, the HYDRA is the ideal candidate for casing and liner cementing operations as the fluid pattern created at the shoe ensures better mud condition is achieved and should minimize cement/mud contamination during cementing.
The HYDRA is designed to replace standard cementing and guide shoes as it combines their respective features and extends their possible application. When the pumps are on, the circulated fluid is channeled through a central spline of the HYDRA tool and then forced through carefully machined grooves in the inner sleeve via a set of impellers arranged uniquely within the inner sleeve resulting in high rotational speeds, low-pressure drop, and low torque. Making this a natural fit for high angle, horizontal well cementing operations
Features
- High rotational speeds are achieved with fluid circulation down the string
- Low and uniform pressure drop across the tool making HYDRA ideal for completion string deployment
- Fluid activated
- Choice of cutting structure and hard facing
- Multiple jets
- Interchangeable jets for enhanced TFA and jetting action/jet impact force
- Flow rate capacity is only limited by how much flow can be physically pumped through the equipment
- High speed bearings capable of > 3000 RPMs for > 500 hours
- Better hole cleaning and mud conditioning prior to cementing
- Improved cementing operations in high-angle and horizontal wells
- Can be used as an alternative jetting tool for wellbore clean-up and stimulation
- Customisable nose profiles
- Customers can customize tools for entire body to rotate or the nose-only rotation
- Full rotating tool available for 9 5/8” casing and the smaller. Nose only option available for 13 3/8” and 20” casing systems
