Enteq Technologies has launched SABER Vertical, an advanced drilling solution for vertical and top-hole drilling particularly suited to the Middle East and Africa market

SABER Vertical builds on the existing advantages of Enteq’s directional drilling rotary steerable, field-proven SABER Tool (Steer-At-Bit Enteq Rotary Tool) to extend to vertical drilling, offering a low-service requirement and modular design that minimises both equipment needs and overall costs.

In the Middle East and Africa, vertical wells are often drilled in remote, challenging environments, where traditional methods can be costly and logistically complex. SABER Vertical is engineered to meet these demands, providing operators with enhanced accuracy, control, and wellbore stability, while delivering a lower total cost of ownership compared to existing systems.

The modular design enables adaptability to multiple hole sizes, reducing equipment requirements and enhancing operational flexibility. Its optimised wellbore stability improves drilling accuracy and control, ensuring greater precision throughout the process. The solution is also low-risk and can be deployed globally in a variety of environments, making it a practical and scalable option for operators worldwide.

Andrew Law, CEO at Enteq, said, "SABER Vertical is the result of listening to our customers and understanding the unique challenges of the market. It is inevitable that incumbent solutions for these applications are expensive due to the required large tool size, limiting commercially suitable options available to the market. With its compact design and cost-effective nature, SABER Vertical delivers a much-needed alternative, helping operators improve efficiency without compromising on performance."
