LAFAYETTE, Louisiana � Stabil Drill, a Superior Energy Services company, has introduced its new line of shock tools to the oil and gas industry.
The shock tools are designed to improve the rate of penetration and to minimize axial vibrations produced by the drillbit during operations. The tools absorb shock load on the drill string and drill bit.
Stabil Drill Shock Tools reduce vibrations utilizing a series of springs. The shock tools can be equipped with light, medium, or heavy weight springs to accommodate various drilling conditions.
"The addition of shock tools to our arsenal of other downhole tools and services will serve us and the industry well," said Chris Russo, Stabil Drill's COO. "These tools are oil-lubricated and sealed, which supply a longer operational life � ultimately saving our customers money."
Designed to enhance Stabil Drill's roller reamer line of products, the tools are available in sizes ranging from 4 ¾ to 9 ½ in and can operate in temperatures of 135-232° C (275-450° F), depending on the seal.
