GaugePro
Less vibration; higher quality wellbore
The GaugePro™ XPR expandable reamer’s dependable ball-drop mechanism activates the cutter blades, which are deployed with fluid circulation and deactivated when circulation is stopped.
This eliminates premature triggering independent of WOB, flow, or BHA pressure. With the pilot bit design synchronized to our expandable reamer in a fit-for-purpose drilling assembly, you’ll have an exceptional downhole operating environment.
The blade motion—angled radially outward and upward—is a fail-safe measure to ensure cutter blade retraction.
Simple design
The GaugePro XPR expandable reamer is constructed from a high-tensile, fatigue-resistant material. Because there is no welding on the body, heat-affected zones and crack propagation are eliminated. Interchangeable nozzles for each cutter blade are placed strategically through computational fluid dynamics analysis, which improves cuttings removal and transport.
