Our directional drilling analyses help ensure that the planned trajectory is effectively achieved, minimizing tortousity and ensuring they can be drilled with performance in mind. Our drilling performance analyses provide valuable insights into the drilling process to minimize drilling time and costs. We offer tubular integrity analyses to help ensure that downhole and drillstring components...

The HexGrip 120 automated floor wrench offers the consistently high makeup and breakout torque needed to ensure connection integrity. Factoring the strain extra torque can have on the box, the HexGrip 120 uses six contact points on the upper and lower arms, reducing the force needed to make and break connections, all safely controlled remotely from the driller's cabin. In addition to...

The newest addition to the industry standard FlexRig® fleet is uniquely enhanced for mobility and agility in Middle East terrain, without compromising unconventional pad drilling that advanced drilling programs require.

For over 100 years, Helmerich & Payne has been a leader in rig performance and more recently, in rig technology and innovation. H&P is the largest onshore driller in the US and has approximately 25% of the total horizontal and 34% of the superspec market share in US land drilling. Having operated in international markets for the last 64 years, and with 800+ employees working...

The workflow around drilling roadmaps that exists today is a manual process that lacks real-time communication amongst relevant stakeholders. H&P’s Digital Roadmap technology allows users to view and change the roadmap remotely and enables the automatic execution of that roadmap. By enabling the automatic execution of these parameters, which are based on geologic formation...

Q. WHY DO I NEED A BGS ON MY LOCATION? DON’T I HAVE A DIRECTIONAL PROVIDER FOR THAT? A. The BGS is complementary to any directional provider operation. More importantly, it’s an unbiased view of the downhole environment to give both the provider and the operator insight into the effectiveness of their BHA, bit selection related to steering, and motor performance. BGS will...
