Wenzel Drilling Motors
Key Features
- Patented enhancements increase torsional capacity for higher torque transmission.
- Available in oil-sealed and mud-lubricated configurations.
- Optimized for extended service life and reliability under harsh drilling conditions.
Applications
These motors are ideal for directional and horizontal drilling in challenging environments where maintaining high torque and operational consistency is critical.
Wenzel Drilling Jars
Using proprietary new technology, WENZEL has been able to dramatically increase the allowable overpull force with its Ultimate Drilling Jars. Wenzel’s Standard Drilling Jars are designed to deliver a reliable and controlled impact to free stuck drill strings. The jars utilize a double-acting hydraulic system, offering precise control over jarring forces both up and down the hole.
Key Features
- Double-acting hydraulic mechanism provides flexibility for both overpull and downward force.
- Rugged construction to withstand extreme downhole conditions, including high pressures and temperatures.
- Designed for consistency, ensuring the jar fires reliably under varied load conditions.
Applications
These drilling jars are essential in complex and deep wells, where stuck pipe incidents are more frequent. They are particularly effective in deviated, directional, and extended reach drilling operations, where traditional methods may fail.
Wenzel Shock Tools
Wenzel’s Downhole Shock Tool is engineered to mitigate axial, lateral, and torsional vibrations induced during drilling, thus protecting the drill string and extending bit life. The tool is fully oil-sealed and does not rely on temperature-sensitive elastomers, making it suitable for use in temperatures up to 250°F (120°C), with options for up to 320°F (160°C).
Key Features
- Pressure balanced to counter hydrostatic forces.
- Belleville disc springs optimize load/deflection, ensuring consistent bit-formation contact.
- Low-friction torsional drive allows free vertical movement, reducing drill string fatigue.
Applications
These shock tools are deployed in harsh drilling environments where vibration reduction is critical to prevent fatigue failures of rotary connections, maintain optimal bit speed, and enhance penetration rates.
