Has this particular technology seen field use? I'd be interested in the effectiveness of this approach compared to traditional contact drilling methods in similar subterranean conditions. It would seem that lighter strings would be permitted as the torque loads/weight are/could be substantially reduced. JTN Interesting. Has this particular technology seen field use?

I’d be interested in the effectiveness of this approach compared to traditional contact drilling methods in similar subterranean conditions.

It would seem that lighter strings would be permitted as the torque loads/weight are/could be substantially reduced.
