The Revolver's unique rotating coiled tubing drilling technology is best applied in any situation where conventional coiled tubing drilling is advantageous.

• Conventional Oil and Gas Drilling
  RRL's rotating coiled tubing drilling technology can bring high efficiency increases to standard overbalance oil and gas well asset development reducing reservoir development costs through increased tripping speed, fast mobilization, low cost drilling and flexibility in hole size choice.

• Underbalance Drilling
  Our rotating coiled tubing drilling technology is well suited to depleted reservoirs where underbalance drilling and the re-drilling of development wells with zero formation damage would be particularly relevant. The Revolver™ can trip at x 4 the speed of a jointed pipe rig and call drill up to a nominal 6" hole size whilst maintaining full bottom hole pressure control while drilling and completing the well.

• Coal Bed Methane Drilling
  The Revolver™ is ideally suited to this type of drilling for the following reasons.
  
  • Open hole side tracks can be initiated using a standard rotary BHA allowing multilateral wells to be drilled efficiently and cost effectively.
  • The wells could be drilled on balance/underbalance (well stability allowing) which would prevent fines from blocking the pores of the coal bed and inhibiting production.
  • A six inch hole can be drilled which will increase the dewatering and production rates from the well bore.
  • A rotary steerable assembly can be utilized to increase rates of penetration and drilling efficiency.

• Batch Drilling
  The Revolver's™ high efficiency is ideally suited to a batch drilling program where non productive time can be reduced to a bare minimum through rapid mobilization, high drilling efficiency and the flexibility to drill underbalance / on balance / overbalance wells depending on the design configuration.
