Geothermal
Altitude Energy Partners is redefining geothermal energy by applying our directional drilling expertise to geothermal wells.
By drilling long horizontal laterals deep into geothermal formations, we ensure maximum contact with target zones, tapping into the abundant energy found in layers of hot water and steam, unlocking the full potential of geothermal resources and driving productivity to new depths.
Pinnacle BHA
Our Pinnacle BHA development showcases a journey of overcoming challenges in harsh drilling environments. Here’s how we got there:
Pre-2017
High lost in hole (LIH) rates and tool failures made RSS risky in tough basins
2017
Tested Orbit RSS with
a Delaware Basin operator, but LIH issues persisted.
2018
Improved durability with stronger premium connections and nonmag collars.
2022
Refined tool OD and performance. Orbit became ideal for laterals, G2 for curves and high-angle sections.
The engineered BHA solution excels in
challenging environments where
previous tools failed.
Its design reduces shock and
vibration, enabling extended run
times and efficient one-run laterals.
Optimizing neutral tendency and maintaining steering decreases wellbore tortuosity, leading to smoother operations, quicker casing, higher production rates, and lower costs. Engineering enhancements include a refined tubular design for faster assembly, fatigue-resistant components for better stress management, and flex collars that direct bending forces to tubular bodies, greatly improving durability.
