Surface Vibratory Tool

Surface-Generated Vibration That Reduces Heel Friction and Improves Coiled Tubing Performance

Increase Reach. Reduce Friction. Improve Efficiency.

In horizontal wells, the heel is one of the most challenging areas to overcome. Downhole vibratory tools lose effectiveness the farther they get from the BHA, leaving friction, debris buildup, and reduced performance at the heel.

Thru Tubing Solutions’ Surface Vibratory Tool introduces vibration from the surface, closer to the heel, improving coiled tubing movement and operational efficiency without interrupting operations.

Why Surface Vibration Works

Because the heel is located far from the drilling BHA, traditional downhole vibration tools lose impact at that point. By generating vibration at surface and directing it vertically toward the heel, friction is reduced where it matters most.

The result:

  • Improved coiled tubing reach

  • Reduced drag at the heel

  • Higher operational efficiency

  • Improved ROP at the lateral end

Key Benefits

Optimized Heel Performance

Delivers the strongest vibrational force toward the heel, overcoming friction caused by deviated well geometry and debris buildup.

No Operational Downtime

The unit can be serviced and adjusted without stopping operations, saving valuable time on location.

Real-Time Flow Flexibility

Flow rate can be adjusted on the fly, up to 10 BPM, to match changing downhole conditions.

Improved ROP at the Lateral End

Substantially higher rates of penetration during final lateral sections.

Plug-and-Play Compatibility

Uses standard 1502 surface connections for fast, seamless rig-up.

Custom Tuned for Every Well

Frequency and vibration intensity can be tailored to specific well conditions for maximum performance.

Applications
