Drilling is violent. Our vibration dampening technology keeps components from being damaged.

Downhole shock and vibration are significant environmental factors that influence component reliability in MWD systems. Shock and vibe is unavoidable in all drilling, and in many cases, it’s not efficient to minimize it while drilling performance is exceeding expectations. Although vibration can be reduced by optimizing operating parameters, it can never be fully eliminated.

However, as a result of the axial shock and vibration, drilling components are at risk of being damaged, resulting in extra trips due to equipment failure. To mitigate this risk of NPT, ProDirectional developed the Pro ShockStop technology to isolate the MWD ecosystem from these damaging conditions.

FAQs

What is Pro ShockStop?

Pro ShockStop is ProDirectional’s proprietary vibration dampening technology designed to minimize axial shock and vibration, protecting MWD components and enhancing reliability in aggressive drilling environments.

Shock and vibration are unavoidable downhole forces that can cause component failures and non-productive time; Pro ShockStop isolates MWD components to reduce downtime and preserve performance.

Unlike generic products, Pro ShockStop was developed in-house using real drilling data and insights from tens of thousands of wells to offer a holistic, reliable solution that surpasses industry alternatives. 

Pro ShockStop seamlessly integrates with ProDirectional’s Sprint, Octane, and OctaneXT MWD tool strings, providing enhanced vibration control without compromising performance.

By reducing vibration-related wear and failure, Pro ShockStop increases MWD system reliability, decreases trips, and lowers non-productive time even in the most demanding drilling conditions.
