What Are Downhole Drilling Wear Pads?
Wear pads are critical components in downhole directional drilling. Typically made from wear-resistant materials, they are essential for helping to steer the drill shaft while preserving the integrity of tools in harsh environments where drilling fluids, debris, and high-pressure conditions damage equipment.
Why Choose Oberg Industries for Downhill Drilling Wear Pads?
- Tailored Solutions: We manufacture wear pads to precise customer specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility with downhole tools.
- Material Expertise: Our downhill drilling wear pads are crafted from high-performance materials such as stainless steel alloys enhanced by PDC/Diamond and Tungsten Carbide.
