Services and Products

Since 1969, we have designed, manufactured, and deployed industry-leading downhole drilling tools. We started with humble beginnings in the downhole shock sub and drilling jar space, and have since evolved into niche products such as the Thruster and ION – Downhole Data Capture. Throughout this journey, TAQA Drilling Solutions has introduced additional products, including positive displacement motors, multiple types of stabilization and reamer technology, and a full suite of directional drilling products and services to support the needs of our global clientele. But that’s not all—we are currently investing in disruptive technologies that will continue to enhance our competitive capabilities and position the company uniquely within the drilling industry.
