Where to position NeoTork in the BHA

This depends on a combination of factors including hole profile, BHA composition, planned drilling parameters, etc.  NeoTork tools are preset in the workshop for a range of parameters (WOB, torque). We recommend placing the tool between 60 to 120 feet above the drill bit, depending on the configuration of the BHA. NeoTork can also be positioned immediately above the drill bit. However in this case the WOB range needs to be well defined; if WOB is heavier than calculated, a portion of the tool stroke will be absorbed by the spring discs’ compression.

NeoOiltools will be glad to work with you to determine the best position for NeoTork, given the parameters of your well.
