Tempress Technologies, Inc.
Tempress develops tools for the most demanding oil and gas well service applications. |
|
Geothermal Drill Motor The Jet Turbodrill incorporates an ultrahigh rotary speed turbine and high-pressure jet assist for fast drilling in hard crystalline rock. |
|
Rotary Jetting Tools Tempress offers rotary jetting tools for coiled tubing well services. Tempress jetting tools operate at much high power and pressure than the competition. All these tools are acid and multiphase capable and run reliably in sour HTHP wells. High-pressure rotary jetting offers the ability to safely remove mineral scale and to stimulate well completions with no risk of damage to production tubing, screens or downhole equipment. |
|
Motor Gas Separator Designed for use with a positive displacement drilling motor. Excess flow of commingled water and gas will overspeed a motor causing stator damage. The gas separator bypasses the gas so that the motor operates within its speed limits. |
|
Jet Drills This tool is designed to drill ultra-short short radius lateral extensions from a vertical oil well. Tempress is working with Lone Star Lateral Drilling Technologies to develop a complete lateral drilling solution. This system is currently undergoing field trials. |
|
Acoustic Well Stimulation The NITROBLAST™ tool creates high-power, 190 dB SPL, sound at 2-20 kHz to stimulate gas production from shallow wells. The tool is powered with nitrogen or other inert gas so that fines and debris are flushed into the wellbore during stimulation. |
|
Pulse Drilling Tempress’ HydroPulse™ tool consists of self-actuated valve that periodically interrupts the flow of fluid. Stopping the flow generates a water-hammer pressure pulse above the valve and a suction pulse below the valve. The impulsive pressure acts to increase drilling rate of penetration. These tools are rated for high-pressure, high-temperature operation. |
|
Seismic While Drilling This tool incorporates a flow interruption valve with a sweep modulator, designed to provide a useful seismic source at the bit for reverse vertical seismic profiling (rVSP). This source allows seismic-while-drilling with a PDC bit. The tool, has been used to demonstrate seismic profiling and look-ahead seismic imaging-while drilling. |
|
Water Cannon Tempress Technologies has developed a range of ultra-high-pressure water cannons. Energy is stored in these devices by compressing water to ultra-high pressure; 30,000 to 40,000 psi (200 to 400 MPa). A fast-opening valve discharges the compressed-water resulting in a high-power impulse. The water slug impact pressures can exceed 800,000 psi (5.5 GPa). |
|
HydroPull™ Extended Reach Tool This tool incorporates a flow cycling valve located on the end of coiled tubing. Flow interruptions caused by the valve generate cyclic impulsive tensile loads in the coil. The tool can generate 1100 lbf tensile load on 1-1/2" coil and 3500 lbf tensile load on 2" coil. The resulting coil vibration reduces friction drag since dynamic friction is substantially lower than static friction. |
