WWT NRPs Reduce Torque, Drag, and Carbon Footprint

WWT NRPs on Semi-Sub Rig Drilling Horizontal Well in the North Sea Reduce Torque, Drag, and Carbon Footprint.

WWT NRP Achieves Over 25% Torque Reduction in Wells

Discover how WWT's NRPs provide more than 25% torque reduction and improved tension management in lateral wells, enhancing drilling efficiency.

WWT NRPs Significantly Reduce Torque and Drag in ERD Well

Discover WWT's impact in a European ERD well, achieving 25% torque and 11% drag reduction with their Non-Rotating Protectors, significantly enhancing drilling efficiency.

WWT NRPS SMOOTH & REDUCE DRAG THROUGH BUCKLED CASING

A deepwater offshore well had a highly deviated and buckled production casing throughout most of the 
wellbore. The contact from pipe to casing resulted in high drag and made completion operations difficult 
due to high set down weight volatility. WWT installed 594 SS3 model NRPs.
