Drilling Tools

 

Conforma Clad has been perfecting wear protection for directional drilling components since 1985. Our exclusive cladding technology is the best wear protection available for downhole and surface equipment, including mud motor bearings and flow restrictors and diverters. Our cladding combines resistance to erosion, abrasion and corrosion with the ability to sustain tight tolerances.

 

Major oil drilling and exploration companies worldwide trust Conforma Clad to preserve their high-performance drilling components. In addition to protecting mud motor components, we offer wear solutions for other down hole tools and surface equipment.  

  • Increased Component Life - Our exclusive cladding sustains tight tolerances and remains durable, even under extreme heat and stress. Conforma Clad mud motor components last over 10 times longer than competitive protective materials.
  • Reduced Operational Costs - Unprotected bearings must be replaced every 20 to 60 hours. Conforma Clad bearings have a run life of over 300 hours , significantly improving feet-drilled-per-day and lowering the average cost-per-foot-drilled.
  • Improved Motor Performance - With Conforma Clad, operators can push the motor without damaging bearings, permitting sharper turns, faster penetration and less drilling time.
  • Enhanced Drilling Accuracy - Reduced component wear means that design tolerances are maintained down hole, resulting in improved motor control and greater drilling accuracy.

Piping and Fluid Control

  • Eliminate / Reduce Blowouts - Our cladding can be applied to the weak links in your conveyance system, eliminating blowouts and product loss.
  • Prevent Lost Product - Undetected blowouts can lead to excessive product loss and require large clean-up efforts.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs & Downtime - Eliminating blowouts reduces maintenance expenses and unscheduled downtime.
  • Avoid Cross-Contamination - Other wear-protection methods use a cavity, which can retain product and lead to contamination between runs.
