The OWS drilling scraper has continued to seize pole position for almost a decade (Clone)

Published 26.04.2022

Following our unrivalled success in the offshore arena with a state-owned oil company in the UAE, Odfjell Well Services (OWS) recently won another significant contract for this client as the primary supplier of a Drilling Scraper.

With the scope of work covering single and dual Drilling Scraper applications, the client can incorporate the drilling scraper within the drilling BHA to allow one or two different casing sizes to be cleaned simultaneously. Thus, saving rig time and mitigating premature lower completion failure.

Over $20 million saved, eliminating the need for a dedicated scraper run since 2014

Released for a national oil company in Malaysia in 2014, the OWS drilling scraper, DrillRDillo (DRD), has gone from strength to strength with over 50 runs and thousands of rig hours saved, valued at more than $20 million. Utilised by operators globally, the DRD optimises operations by increasing well productivity. This versatile tool can be used in drilling, completion, well abandonment applications and standard wellbore clean-ups.

Odfjell Well Services has been recognised as an innovative and technology-focused company. We have developed an extensive DRD range (7”, 9 5/8”, 10 ¾” & 13 3/8”) to cover the most common casing and liner sizes with a proven track history.
