Directional Tool Rentals
BHA Components, Inspected and on Location When the Rig Needs Them.
Challenge
On a directional well, the BHA changes as the hole does. When the right component isn't on location, or doesn't run to spec, the rig waits.
Here's where rental support shows up on the rig.
Missing Components
Hole sizes, connections and BHA designs change from well to well. One missing crossover or the wrong stabilizer OD turns a planned trip into flat time.
Worn or Fatigued Tools
Undergauge blades cost footage, and a fatigued connection can leave part of the BHA lost-in-hole and the rig on a fishing job.
Capital Tied Up in Iron
Owning a full BHA inventory means paying for storage, inspection, repair and redeployment between wells, whether the tools are running or not.
Capabilities
Rental Built Around the Rig Schedule
Forty years of supplying directional drilling has shaped how DTR works. We build most of the fleet ourselves, inspect returning tools against industry standards and keep every order visible from request to delivery.
Built and Inspected In-House
Most of the fleet is manufactured in our own facilities under an ISO 9001 and API Spec Q1 quality system, and ASNT Level II inspectors check returns against TH Hill DS-1 and API RP7G-2.
Coverage Where You Drill
Support across every major North American basin, a market leader in the deepwater Gulf of America, and BHA rental fleets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
Ordered and Tracked in COMPASS
Search by tool type, connection and OD, repeat past orders and follow status from order to delivery in our customer portal, on desktop or mobile.
Products
Examples of the Directional Tool Rentals Range
Crossover Sub
Drill String Connection Sub
Crossover subs that adapt mismatched connections, drill pipe to drill collars, or collars to collars, whatever the size.
Drill Collars
Steel and Non-Magnetic Drill Collars
Both in steel and non-magnetic. Non-magnetic drill collars enable magnetic survey instruments to function properly.
Hole Opener
Wellbore Enlargement Tool
Heavy duty hole opener in fixed diameters from 23" to 42", six-point contact for stable, full-gauge enlargement.
Spiral Stabilizer
BHA Stabilization Tools
Spiral-bladed string and near-bit stabilizers holding full gage OD in steel or non-magnetic material, across a wide connection range.
Supporting Equipment
Beyond our flagship technologies, we stock the supporting infrastructure to overcome complex downhole challenges.
From sub-assemblies to pressure control and handling equipment, our inventory is ready when you are.
Drill Collars
Drill Collars
Both steel and in non-mag. The non-mag neutralizes magnetic interference near the poles, with strength and hardness for standard drill string tools.
Spiral Drill Collar
Spiral grooves reduce differential sticking while neutralizing magnetic interference for accurate directional drilling near the poles.
Steel Drill Collar
Adds weight to the bit and stiffness to the BHA, manufactured from heat-treated 4145H modified alloy steel.
Stabilizers
ClearPath™ Nearbit Stabilizer
Maximizes stability at the bit and minimizes bit whirl, with dome-shaped blades for reduced torque and drag.
ClearPath™ Bitbox Stabilizer
Positioned directly above the bit to improve stability and weight transfer, without compromising steerability or torque.
Integral Blade Spiral String Stabilizer
One-piece milled stabilizer for rotating applications, with a 270-degree wrap and high total flow area.
Integral Blade Near Bit Stabilizer
Run only at the bit, with box connections both ends and a bore for float.
Integral Blade Autotrac Stabilizer
Medium crown length and shorter taper angles for directional and horizontal applications, with hardfaced blades.
Integral Blade Nortrac Stabilizer
Straight blades maintain directional control during sliding operations, with medium-to-high flow area and hardfaced edges.
Integral Blade D-Trac Stabilizer
Tight spiral blades reduce vibration and torque, extending downhole tool life on MWD, LWD, and RSS.
Sleeve Type Stabilizers
One-piece mandrel with interchangeable sleeves, swapped out quickly on the rig floor and discarded when worn.
Welded Blade String Stabilizers
Straight-bladed, high-strength 4145 steel body for large diameter holes, hardfaced for extended tool life.
Sub-Assemblies
Float Subs
House the float valve within the BHA, controlling fluid flow and preventing cuttings from plugging the bit jets.
Filter Subs
House retrievable or non-retrievable mud screens, including Diffuser blade technology, to filter drilling fluid downhole.
Pup Joints
Short tubulars for spacing-specific drilling operations, ordered with tapered or square shoulders and thread protectors.
Circulating Subs
Integral, one-piece pin or box connection subs featuring a WECO figure 1502 union for pump-in operations.
UBHO and Muleshoe Subs
Run below a non-mag collar with an oriented landing sleeve for directional survey equipment or motors.
Side-Entry Subs
Single or double port, one-piece design tested to 1.5 times safe working pressure for specialized pumping.
Saver Subs
Sacrificial connections that protect the Kelly or top drive from repeated wear, easily repaired or replaced.
Crossover and Bit Subs
Adapt varying drill string connection sizes, from drill pipe to collars or collars to collars.
Lift Subs
Flow-through or conventional design with a machined elevator recess, built for handling long or heavy BHA components.
Hole Openers
Devil Drill - Bladed Hole Opener
Tungsten-carbide-dressed blades enlarge the wellbore where roller cones aren't needed, with jets for effective hole cleaning.
Security Type Hole Opener
Fixed-diameter enlargement for pilot holes and clean-out runs, with hard-faced cutters that swap out quickly.
Impact
A Fixture on North American Rigs
Directional drillers and operators have rented BHA components from DTI for four decades. The same rental model, inspection standards and COMPASS ordering now support operators across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.
