OscillAX
Friction Reduction Without Compromise
OscillAX is the only friction reduction tool that features a full uninterrupted through bore and introduces no pressure drop (yet still delivers an 85% friction factor reduction!).

Drilling deeper, faster, smarter.
Drilling extended reach, high-angle and horizontal wells demands effective friction reduction without compromise.
Traditional agitator technologies come with severe operational limitations including loss of through bore, high pressure losses, flow restrictions, intervention limitations and PD motor related reliability concerns.
OscillAX delivers highly effective axial pulse friction reduction without those compromises.
Designed with a unique full-bore architecture, OscillAX generates powerful axial oscillations while maintaining unrestricted flow through the BHA. The result is improved weight transfer, reduced friction and enhanced drilling efficiency, all without sacrificing through-bore access or hydraulic performance.
Friction Reduction Without Restriction
Unlike conventional friction reduction tools, OscillAX provides a completely unrestricted internal bore.
Full-Bore Design
No internal flow restriction
Unrestricted passage for balls, darts and intervention tools
Simplified operational flexibility
True Zero Pressure Drop
OscillAX is powered entirely by drilling fluid flow yet introduces no pressure drop across the tool. Without parasitic loss, hydraulic energy is delivered where it is needed most for optimal drilling performance and system efficiency.
Uncompromised Reliability
OscillAX does not rely on a positive displacement motor power section.
This eliminates common motor-related concerns such as:
Elastomer deterioration
Power section chunking
Temperature limitations
Sensitivity to drilling fluid chemistry
Restrictions associated with LCM and challenging mud systems
The result is a robust friction reduction solution designed for demanding drilling environments.
Improve Weight Transfer. Increase Drilling Efficiency.
By generating highly effective axial pulses within the drill string, Oscillax helps:
Reduce drill string friction
Improve weight transfer to the bit
Enhance sliding performance
Extend effective reach
Reduce drag in high-angle well sections
Support more consistent drilling performance
Increase both drilling performance and liner deployment capability in coiled tubing and conventional applications
Scalable Performance
Multi-Unit Stackable
For applications requiring additional friction reduction, multiple OscillAX tools can be deployed within the same drill string.
This modular approach enables operators to tailor oscillation performance to the specific demands of the well profile, extending reach and maximising friction reduction where conventional systems may become less effective.
