When engineers design tools for oil wells far below the earth’s surface, they must ensure the tools are strong enough to withstand harsh conditions. This is what they call downhole tool design. At DeepFast, we take pride in developing tools that make it safer and more efficient to get oil out of the ground. Downhole tool design here we come!
Downhole tool design is the business of making tools that withstand high pressure, furious heat and nasty liquids deep beneath the ground. Drill wells, clean wells, get oil and gas out. The design begins with an understanding of the rough conditions the tool needs to survive and the choice of the correct materials and shapes to ensure it can stand up to the job year after year.
Invention is constantly at work to improve downhole tool design. For instance, using computer programs to simulate whether a tool will function before it’s made. That helps engineers quickly narrow in on the best design. Another approach is to utilize novel materials — composites, alloys and the like — to make the tools stronger and lighter.
When it comes to designing downhole tools, engineers have to consider a number of factors. These would include the rock and fluids contained in the well, the well temperature and pressure, and the dimensions and form of the well. Engineers must also take into account how the tool will be used and how long it should last. By considering those elements, engineers can make tools that work well and last.
Efficiency is crucial in oil and gas production, and downhole tool design is really the “magic sauce” that makes that happen. By creating tools to drill faster, clean wells more thoroughly and extract more oil and gas, engineers become part of the energy refining business and help companies produce energy more efficiently and profitably. Here at DeepFast we never stop improving and try to improve our tool to help our customers, do even better job.
The designs of the downhole tools have evolved rapidly over the years. New materials, how to make tools and computer tests have all led to tools that are stronger, more reliable and work better than ever. Engineers simply keep inventing tools that can take what’s even worse and do what’s even better.
