The Reel Power OG Patented Shearable Drill Collar improve environmental responsibility by providing another component that can be sheared within the drill string. The lead filled drill collar is softer than steel in traditional drill collars reducing the force and pressure required to shear in an emergency condition.

The Reel Power OG Patented Shearable Drill Collar improve environmental responsibility by providing another component that can be sheared within the drill string. The lead filled drill collar is softer than steel in traditional drill collars reducing the force and pressure required to shear in an emergency condition. The drill collar has been successfully tested in two (2) of the major offshore manufacturers of conventional offshore Blow Out Preventers. The lower portion of the drill string is typically unshearable when using currently available conventional steel drill collars. Heavy drill collars are run through the shear rams in the BOP stack immediately after drilling into the high-pressure producing formation in subsea operations. This creates a window in which the drill string components cannot be sheared. This risk is reduced by the Reel Power OG Patented Shearable Drill Collar.
Furthermore, the manufacturing processes reduce concentricity and minimise harmonics. These factors may reduce vibration, resulting in improved penetration rates, longer bit life, and less wear on all downhole string components. Furthermore, the increased weight (20-25 percent greater weight) may reduce the number of drill collars required and benefit the spud process. While drilling horizontal wells, the additional weight in the vertical section may help with a greater reach or longer laterals.These Drill Collars have been designed to Transocean specifications and allow for the replacement of the box and pin couplings as needed.
Reel Power OG's Patented Shearable Drill Collars are designed to shear in commercially available Offshore Blow Out Preventers (BOP). Conventional drill collars have large cross-sectional areas for the weight and cannot be sheared in all BOPs, creating a section within the drill string that cannot be sheared. Drill Collars are 20 % heavier than traditional Collars. This reduces the number of drill collars required in the drill string. They provide a greater concentration of the weight on the bit. The Reel Power OG Drill Collar replaces the steel with heavy, softer lead to allow shearing by conventional BOP shear rams.
