Reducing the need for column rotation

The optical drill bit is capable of drilling without the need for column rotation. This reduces the cost and complexity of the drilling process.

Control of drilling directionality

The shape of the optical drill allows control of the drilling direction. This is made possible by controlling the angle between the bit’s midline and the drilling direction.

Reduced need for casing

The vitrification of the surface of the drilled well increases its mechanical resistance.

The problem-solution approach

Laser drilling is a promising method for drilling wells, but it still faces some challenges, such as the need to rotate the drill string, the difficulty of controlling the directionality of the drilling and the need to casing the well.

What is it?

The invention is an advanced laser drilling equipment consisting of an optical drill bit and a power module with on-board lasers. This technology offers a unique and efficient approach to overcoming the obstacles associated with conventional drilling methods. The invention can benefit oil and gas well drilling, mining and construction companies.

How it works

The equipment uses an optical power module, made up of fiber-optic laser systems, to generate high-intensity light. This light is then guided by optical fibers to an optical drill bit with an innovative design, which provides precise control over the action of the light and promotes effective interaction with the surface to be drilled.
