Drilling: The X-Series Bit torque protector (BTP) is designed with a working range covering all conventional operations, including combination with Under-Reamer. No particular steps are required when drilling with the Bit torque protector (BTP). A User Manual is provided with every deployment.
Bit torque protector (BTP)
Modern drilling technology is characterized by an advanced suite of downhole tools, including PDC drill bits that are capable of drilling entire well sections in one run. The ability to balance the loading on the PDC cutter against available energy is critical to improving the drilling process and taking the industry forward in terms of efficiency. Although quite similar to a spring absorber in appearance,sharp’s patented Bit torque protector (BTP) tool is something different: it is a downhole regulator with capabilities very similar to the traction control systems used in cars. The Bit torque protector (BTP) uses robust mechanics to continuously control the axial force or weight on the bit. In this way, not only does the tool prevent the cutters from sticking, but it also provides an optimal balance between cut and losses to friction. No downhole vibration mitigation solution has been analyzed and scrutinized by science to the same extent as the Bit torque protector (BTP). Experts from academia in the fields of control systems and nonlinear dynamics have worked through the mathematics of the Bit torque protector (BTP) algorithm and published results that identify autonomous regulators as the way forward in deep drilling. The Bit torque protector (BTP) is designed as a “bolt-on” solution with no need for added rig crew, and it requires minimal effort to deploy. It is typically placed above the MWD or non-magnetic portion of the BHA and is also used with under-reamer tools. Both laboratory computer modelling and field results demonstrate the Bit torque protector (BTP)’s capacity to remove the same amount of rock using 40% less energy. The gain can be exploited in many ways: fBit torque protector (BTP)er ROP, reduced bit wear and reduced tool damage from vibrations. The Bit torque protector (BTP) technology also enables greater efficiency through the use of more aggressive, low-friction drill bits
