In a remarkable feat in the oil and gas sector, MASDAR ENERGY's King Cobra Replacement Screens set a new distance record in Algeria, demonstrating exceptional efficiency in an Oil-Based Mud (OBM) application. These screens, with an API of 80, impressively drilled a total of 1,583 meters in just 145 hours.

Challenges:

The team faced significant challenges including handling high volumes of cuttings, sticky formations, and a long drilling section, which typically leads to high screen consumption.

‍

Solution and Results:

MASDAR ENERGY responded with its premium Replacement King Cobra screens, which are specially designed and engineered for such demanding conditions. The screens successfully drilled the entire 16” section without a single instance of wear or damage.

‍

Benefits:

A standout achievement was the screens' longevity, lasting six times longer than competitors' original and replacement screens. This resulted in a substantial reduction in screen costs for the operator, by approximately 80%.
