Build a Better Foundation.

 

Top-hole solutions that set your entire well up for success.

Enhanced Drilling’s top-hole technologies help you drill longer, cleaner, and safer from day one — while protecting the environment and reducing risk in the most fragile part of the well.

Why the Top-Hole Section Is Where It All Begins

The top-hole is more than just the starting point — it’s the foundation of the entire well. Poor conditions, shallow hazards, or environmental restrictions can compromise well integrity from the beginning. Enhanced Drilling helps operators overcome these challenges with a closed-loop, riserless system that reduces cost, risk, and environmental impact.

Top-Hole Value We Deliver

Addressing drilling challenges, adding safety benefits and combining sections – Enhanced Drilling covers all your needs for top-hole drilling.

Control shallow flow hazard
Drill with primary barrier in place, operate with early Kick and Loss Detection, and apply pressure when cement is setting to prevent channeling flow.
Reduce environmental footprint
Closed-loop mud recovery system eliminates discharge and lets you re-use the drilling fluid.
Drill longer, without pilot holes
Push surface casing deeper and combine sections. Use a weighted fluid to remove the need for pilot hole.
Use an engineered fluid
Drill with inhibitors, weighting material and fluid loss chemicals to address your drilling challenges.
Ensure high-quality cementing
Pressure-managed cementing sets the stage for long-term well integrity.
