Matrix sonic drill strings use an Extension Rod that is positioned between the Bolt on Adaptor and the Sonic Drill Rod. The Extension Rod takes the brunt of the making and breaking wear and tear, and is less expensive to replace vs a complete Drill Rod. The Extension Rod works as a “Saver Sub” in the drill string.
“In our general area we began to witness the need for deeper well completions. The Matrix design fit the bill for incorporation into the construction of these wells. By adding capability to our existing equipment, in multiple instances, we have witnessed a fuel burn rate reduction of over 35% as compared to previously used strings and bottom hole assembly designs. “We plan on continuing to configure our equipment with Matrix drill pipe. Thank you for making a great product.”
