ANTI-STICK SLIP TECHNOLOGY (AST)

The  AST addresses the primary challenges in deep drilling: the drill-string’s tendency to behave like a long spring. Utilising a sophisticated downhole algorithm, the AST counteracts the spring effect and mitigates axial and torsional slip cycles, ensuring enhanced durability and efficiency of downhole components. This technology delivers significant savings in three key areas: faster Rate of Penetration (ROP), increased footage, and reduced damage. Thanks to these benefits, the AST downhole regulator has emerged as the fastest-growing innovation in drilling technology.

The AST excels in overcoming weight transfer issues, making it indispensable for the world’s deepest wells. By enhancing weight distribution and reducing slip, AST optimises drilling performance, setting a new standard in the industry.
