Enteq Technologies (Enteq), a specialist energy services engineering and technology company, has successfully completed its latest round of trials for The SABER Tool, its next-generation Rotary Steerable System (RSS) technology, at the Catoosa Test Facility. This phase validated engineering improvements made following previous testing, reinforcing the tool’s potential as a more reliable, lower-cost RSS for downhole environments.
During the most recent trials the tool demonstrated its ability to both generate dogleg and build in a controlled and consistent manner. The results show that the initial version of SABER is capable of delivering a dogleg of at least 3 degrees per 100 ft, with that capability increasing with higher flow rates and mud weights, making it an ideal low-cost lateral and vertical tool.
