K-Pivot™ Stabilization
The KINETIC Upstream K-PIVOT™ stabilization technology provides users a tool to improve rates of penetration (ROP), reduce nonproductive time (NPT), and facilitates more efficient well placement.
Reduced Shock & Vibration Effects
The system can be run slick or stabilized and placed strategically within bottom hole assemblies (BHA) to mitigate the damaging effects of shock and vibration, which include reduced ROP, BHA component failure, and poor steering control.
The K-PIVOT™ solution allows drillstring vibrations to be absorbed, isolated, and decoupled from lower BHA steering components, helping to center and stabilize the bit, which results in improved ROP and longer bit life.
Vibration absorption, isolation, and decoupling also reduce critical mud motor, rotary steering system (RSS), and MWD/LWD component damage, reducing NPT that occurs with shock-induced BHA failures.
Improved Reliability & Performance
The K-PIVOT™ system reduces internal BHA deflection stresses on steering components, improving system mechanical/electrical reliability and performance.
Increased Accuracy & Efficiency in Well Placement
The K-PIVOT™ system improves the drilling trajectory through more consistent and precise control of the bit steering force. Isolation of drill string vibrations/oscillations above a steering component, like a mud motor and RSS, provides a more consistent application of side force at and below the steering component, resulting in more accurate and efficient well placement.
Kinetic is UNCONVENTIONAL INNOVATION
The K-PIVOT™ stabilization system, when included in your BHA, provides the following benefits:
- Decouples drillstring side and vibration forces from upper BHA components, improving steering capability
- Reduces BHA stresses, improving BHA reliability
- Defines BHA bend location, ensuring high dogleg capability and consistency
WHY KINETIC?
KINETIC Upstream Technologies is the best Automated drilling solution.
Historically, high end drilling technologies like Rotary Steerable Systems were designed to attend high dollar offshore operations. Land Operators were forced to sacrifice performance to save cost.
