The Torque & Vibration Reduction (TRS) subs have been designed by Paradigm Drilling Services as a
solution to the problem of excessive torque encountered in short radius high build section horizontal
and high angle wells. The TRS is an integral drill string component consisting of a short one piece
mandrel utilising proprietary bearing technology to support a non rotating one piece sleeve. Tools can be
positioned between the connections of the drill pipe, spaced one every stand, to cover the build section of
the wellbore.
The use of these tools can reduce drilling torque by signifcant amounts (25-35%) and is also effective at
reducing string transmitted vibration.
Applications
The TRSs are designed to reduce parasitic torque in high
angle and horizontal wells. They can also protect casing when
used for Through Tubing Rotary Drilling (TTRD). Paradigm
utilises Sysdrill

and when provided with the proposed well

trajectory can optimise numbers and placement of TRSs.
Features & Benefts
Reduces drill string wear and fatigue
Minimizes torque and drag
Minimizes casing wear
