Standout Features
- Process Automation
Reduces pressure on the driller to provide both fast and consistent process execution, giving time back to the driller to lead the team.
- Sequenced Automation
Serves as a handshake between different technologies to efficiently drill a stand, focusing on minimizing the effects of bit whirl, bit bounce and stick-slip
- Automated Parameter Execution
FlexApp parameters can be configured to automatically execute preplanned procedures for bit engagement/disengagement, slide set-up and stall recovery
- Safely Releasing Torque
With a novel control method, FlexFusion supports the safe release of top drive torque, enhancing operational safety and efficiency
- Improved application of WOB
FlexB2D® technology manages bit whirl, helping to extend bit and BHA life and reduce unplanned trips
- Faster bit disengagement and removal of WOB
Bit off bottom (BOB) helps to quickly disengage the bit while rotating, further mitigating bit whirl, extending tool life, and reducing unplanned trips
- Stall detection and recovery
StallAssist® technology detects and recovers from downhole motor stalls, minimizing costly downtime
- Automated pre- and post-slide processes
Improve consistency and reduce time associated with slide set-up
- Integration with Autodriller Pro
Industry-leading block velocity stability to keep the bit consistently engaged and reduce bit bounce related trips
FlexFusion creates the opportunity to drill more challenging wells, but more efficiently and with less errors and fewer trips. Contact our H&P sales rep to see a more customized illustration or visit our website to learn more.
