Twist drills do not make accurately sized or good finish holes; a reamer of some type is often used to cut the final size and finish. A reamer will not make the original hole; it will only enlarge a ...

Advanced engineering simulation and predictive modelling allowed for the development of an efficient tool for increasing drift diameter during and after drilling operations using rotary steerable ...

While radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been around for decades, only in the last 10 years has it made its way into the downhole environment. The momentum could be building. With ...
