Advanced Directional Drilling Tools and Techniques
Our state-of-the-art Measurement While Drilling (MWD) system is a testament to our dedication to advancing directional drilling technology. Equipped with a range of sophisticated features, our MWD system is designed to provide unparalleled performance and accuracy.
- Mode Shifting: This feature allows for seamless transitions between different drilling modes, optimizing performance and efficiency throughout the drilling process.
- Stick Slip and Modal Analysis: By analyzing stick slip behavior and modal responses, we can effectively mitigate risks and enhance drilling stability, leading to smoother operations and reduced wear on equipment.
- Dynamic Sequencing: Our system’s dynamic sequencing capability ensures that drilling parameters are adjusted in real-time, accommodating changes in subsurface conditions and maintaining optimal performance.
- High Data Rate: With high data rate capabilities, we ensure that crucial information is transmitted quickly and accurately, enabling real-time decision-making and enhanced operational control.
- PWD and Azimuthal Gamma: Our Pressure While Drilling (PWD) and azimuthal gamma measurements provide valuable insights into downhole conditions, allowing for precise adjustments and improved drilling outcomes.
- Continuous Inclination and Azimuth: Continuous monitoring of inclination and azimuth ensures that the wellbore remains on the desired trajectory, reducing the risk of deviation and enhancing the overall accuracy of the drilling process.

High-Performance Mud Motors
KLX Energy Services has meticulously crafted the K-Series motor fleet to excel in downhole performance while maintaining drilling efficiency and reliability. The K-Series motor has become the preferred choice for numerous plays, thanks to its impressive performance and customer-focused design.
Key Features
- Robust Transmission/Mandrel: The K-Series boasts a robust and heavier transmission/mandrel design, striking a balance between durability and efficient torque transmission from power sections to the bit.
- Wide Size Range: K-Series sizes range from 3.50” to 9.63”, accommodating various drilling needs.
- High-Performance Motors: These motors lead the way in mud lube technology, ensuring consistent performance.
- Customer-Centric Approach: Moderate bit-to-bends align with customer build rate requests without compromising material and design limitations.
- Engineered Durability: Materials and specifications are in-house engineered to combat downhole fatigue and prevent premature issues.
- Total Control: KLX’s in-house control allows for customizations, adjustments, and superior quality.
Well Planning Made Easy
KLX Energy Services’ Well Planning and Operations team relies on Compass Directional Well Path Planning software, developed by Landmark. This powerful software generates spider, ladder, 3D proximity, and traveling cylinder plots, providing essential data for successful drilling operations.
Innovative drilling for better results
- Real-Time Operating Center (RTOC): Our RTOC manages survey data continuously, producing plan-versus-actual reports at regular intervals. It monitors anti-collision in real-time and tracks hard-line and lease-line distances, along with projection to total depth calculations.
- 24-Hour Availability: Our well planners are available round the clock during both planning and drilling phases. They provide Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reports and submit final certified surveys to state regulatory divisions and clients.
- Software Utilization:
- WellPlan®: We use Landmark’s WellPlan® drilling software for Torque and Drag Optimization.
- AutoCAD: AutoCAD ensures precise plotting of lease lines and hard lines.
- Innova’s Well Seeker: This program facilitates constant communication between the field and operations group, aiding survey database management and daily reporting throughout the drilling process.
