Shock Tool
Reduces Bit Bounce and Increases Rate of Penetration and Bit Life Under the Toughest Drilling Conditions

Downhole vibration can severely limit the life of a

drill bit in hard rock formations, slowing the ROP (rate of penetration). Sperry Drilling Services shock tool incorporates the best features of all competitive shock tools, reducing weight-on-bit variation and maximizing reservoir deliverability. By using steel disc springs and hydraulic pump open force during drilling, the tool runs partially open, with the spring enabling the tool to extend or compress, as required, to keep the bit on bottom. The shock tool is run next to the bit to keep the oscillating mass to a minimum, allowing the shock-absorbing element to effectively absorb accelerations and keep the bit on bottom. Within normal drilling parameters, the tool is not limited with respect to drilling weight, torque, type of drilling fluid, flow rate, pressure drops and temperature. By increasing the life of the bit and thereby reducing the number of round trips, the shock tool can effectively reduce nonproductive time.
