WWT Silencer Helps Reduce Vibration, Resulting in Improved ROP and Reduced Bit Wear while Drilling 2 Mile Lateral

Executive Summary
Drilling through the abrasive formations in the Permian’s 2nd Bone Spring has caused numerous downhole MWD and drill bit failures due to high levels of vibration. The WWT Silencer Non-Rotating Sub assembly was utilised in the BHA to mitigate downhole vibrations, resulting in improved drilling performance.
