Threlix®

TAQA presents Threlix, a patented technology designed to assist operators in mitigating drilling dysfunctions while drilling with rotary steerable systems (RSS). By balancing downhole torque against downhole weight on bit (WOB), Threlix™ ensures a smooth and consistent depth of cut at the drill bit, effectively eliminating erratic torque, stick-slip, and HFTO (high-frequency torsional oscillation) which can lead to bit and downhole tool DBR’s, Tool failures and costly trips out of the hole.

When encountering excess torque during drilling operations, Threlix instantly adjusts its length to maintain a consistent depth of cut at the bit interface preventing stick-slip scenarios, ensuring optimal drilling progress leading to exceptional performance, reduced damages, and minimized section times.

Threlix is engineered with a proprietary helical spring that facilitates both compression and extension, enabling it to meet any drilling application. Furthermore, its 100% sealed spring and spline sections significantly enhance downhole reliability and performance, eliminating the need for costly post-run maintenance and reducing associated risks.
