TAQA’s Threlix™ is designed to assist operators in mitigating drilling dysfunctions across multiple axis in Rotary Steerable Systems applications, improving drilling efficiency and cost reduction
EDMONTON, Alberta — Industrialization & Energy Services Company TAQA, a leading well solutions provider in the energy industry, continues its commercial launch of Threlix™, a patented technology designed to help oil and gas operators reduce drilling rig downtime by alleviating downhole drilling dysfunctions associated with vibration, torsional oscillations and lack of consistent bit engagement. The technology also reduces the comparative repair and maintenance cost to the mitigation tool as well as the associated bottom hole assembly (BHA) components.

Decreased reliability due to drilling problems is a major challenge faced by operators while drilling with Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS). Stick slip, high frequency torsional oscillations (HFTO) and erratic torque cause polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit damage and inconsistent drilling, which leads to
