North sea
– Three wells analysis

This case history showcases neotork utilization in a well (N05-01x) that was side-tracked from an existing well (N05-01) following a discovery, to better ascertain the size of the geological structure. After about 1,000 meters (m) drilled, N05-01x had to be abandoned because of a pressure incident forcing the operator to cement the whole BHA downhole. A third well was then drilled (N05-01xx), this time without neotork. Those three very similar wells, one drilled using neotork and the two others without, allow a clear comparison of the impact of neotork on drilling performance.

Chevron Thailand

In a four-well trial, Chevron tested Neotork in Thailand to reduce vibration and improve drilling performance. Despite already optimized operations, Neotork delivered impressive results—up to 165% ROP increase and significantly lower vibrations compared to offset wells. The same tool was used across multiple runs, confirming its reliability, efficiency, and ability to enhance drilling dynamics in demanding environments.
