XTO Turbine
Applications
- Hard and abrasive formations
- Harsh HPHT wells
How it improves performance
The high bit rotary speed of the extra torque (XTO) turbine produces a consistently smooth wellbore in demanding environments, and the concentric design minimizes microdoglegs.
How it works
The 2⅞-in XTO turbine efficiently converts hydraulic energy from the mud column into mechanical energy at the bit to deliver significantly greater downhole mechanical drilling power than any other drive system. The turbine provides higher output for challenging drilling conditions.
Additional information
All-metal construction enables the turbine to withstand extreme temperature and pressure without deterioration in power, reliability, or performance. The metal construction also permits the use of dual-phase and chemically enhanced drilling fluid systems without any deterioration in output mechanical power, reliability, or performance. The XTO turbine can be paired with different blades, further optimizing performance in fit-for-purpose applications.
