Soft Torque System
As an authorised partner of Electroproject (NL), we bring Advanced Softtorque (AST) to the Indian market — Electroproject's latest innovation in soft torque technology, designed to mitigate the adverse effects of stick-slip phenomena commonly encountered in drilling operations. When AST is activated, surface torque stabilises, drill-string torsional vibrations are significantly reduced, and overall drilling efficiency improves — all without continuous manual intervention from the driller.
Advanced Softtorque is proprietary technology of Electroproject, one of the few companies — alongside Shell — holding IP rights for wide-bandwidth stick-slip mitigation controllers.
Applications
Benefits
- Higher Rate of Penetration (ROP)
- Reduced tool wear — longer bit life
- Lower torsional vibrations — improved wellbore quality
- Reduced Non-Productive Time (NPT)
- Softtorque Assist simulation tool predicts AST performance under specific drilling conditions before deployment
Key Features
- 1Real-time stick-slip detection and automatic top-drive speed adjustment
- 250%–100% increase in damping of torsional oscillations
- 3Extends benefits from vertical drilling to horizontal and extended-reach operations
- 4Compatible with all AC top drives, regardless of brand
- 5Easily transferable between rigs
