Iranian Knowledge-Based Company Produces Whipstock Drilling Machine to Increase Productivity in Low-Yield Wells
Whipstock drilling is a directional drilling technique that is used to change the direction of an existing wellbore. The experts at an Iranian knowledge-based company has developed the Whipstock drilling to increase productivity in low-yield and low-efficiency wells in the country.
Behnam Khodayar, the managing director of the knowledge-based company pointed to the construction of the whipstock machine for use in the drilling industry, specifically in the oil field and said, “Whipstock is a strategic tool in the drilling industry, and we have taken steps to produce a whipstock with new technology and according to domestic needs using local know-how and after conducting serious research and development work.”
The director of the company said that the most important advantage of their product is the use of completely domestic know-how, adding, “Other companies’ products manufactured in Iran are fully copied from foreign-made equivalents and produced through reverse engineering method. Such products cannot be exported. But our product is the only domestically-produced machine that is based on an Iranian design and has export potential and it has already been commercialized.”
“The products of this knowledge-based company are made in hydraulic and mechanical models in different sizes and with an exclusive design, in the meantime, the operational power of these products is in line with the equivalents machines made in the western countries,” he added
“Our products are shorter than domestic or foreign-made equivalents (20% shorter than American ones) and with its amazing might, it will open a new chapter in oil equipment industry. Despite being shorter, not only it has not lost its operational power, but it has also displayed higher efficiency. Examining the operations carried out by several American and English companies’ products and comparing them with operations carried out with the help of this product, showed that the equipment produced by the company is faster and operates better than many Western products,” Khodayar said.
Pointing out that the company's homegrown products have shown acceptable efficiency in drilling operations, he added, “The various operations we have conducted have all been at the highest quality level and in line with global standards. With the technological and innovative designs that have been done, we will definitely gain a very good share in the global market.”
