On-Demand Activation or Fixed Position

UltraShock

Reduces impact loading on the bit
Reduces number of trips required
Isolates axial vibration from drill string; reduces lateral vibration
Increases ROP
Utilizes Belleville springs which provide optimum load/deflection characteristics
Pressure balanced to eliminate effects of hydrostatic pressure & pump open forces

UltrAccelerator

Black Diamond’s Hydraulic Jar Accelerator is a hydraulic spring that stores energy when tension is applied to the drilling string.
During the jarring stroke, the energy is released upwards to accelerate the drill collars and the upper portion of the jar, intensifying the jarring impact.
Recommended for use in extended reach or highly deviated wells where jar performance could suffer due to hole drag.
Can be utilized in shallow holes where little pipe stretch is available.
The sealed and lubricated spline drive provides long service life under high torque and stroking applications.
Standard seals rated to 250°F (120°C); High temp seals rated to 400°F (200°C) for hot hole environments.
External sealing surfaces are tungsten carbide-coated to enhance wear and corrosion resistance.

NXG Multi-Activation Circulation Sub

Multi-Activation NXG Circulation Sub has been designed not only to overcome the most complex circulation challenges – but to do so with optimum efficiency and total reliability as part of your BHA.
Multi-Activation Circulation Sub bypasses the need to break the drill string as part of the process: no ‘ball’ or ‘dart’ drop devices are required.
An innovative internal mechanism allows flow ports in the outer body to be opened and closed from the surface by 2 methods, simply via the operation of the mud pump.
Upon activation, a shut-off mechanism closes the tool inner bore, allowing lost circulation material to be pumped out through the side ports, even when the hole is packed off.
The Circulation Sub can be activated (opened or closed) as many times as you require during an individual drilling operation.

NXG Hole Cleaning Heavy Weight

HCHW can be placed in the BHA as a substitute to standard heavyweight
Priced to compete with standard heavyweight, giving our customer all the benefits of heavyweight and hole cleaning at no additional cost
Ideal solution for ERD wells where torque build-up can restrict the high rotation required to aid hole cleaning
Reduces the requirement for additional connections while benefitting from the hole cleaning technology, standard stand lengths are still maintained
HCHW can also be offered as a drill pipe version
