1. Introduction
1.1 Drilling

The Agitator gently oscillates the BHA or drillstring to

substantially reduce friction. This means improved weight
transfer
especiallyand reduced
when stick-slip
oriented drillinginwith
all modes of drilling,
a steerable motor. but
As
well profiles become more tortuous and the limits of extended
reach boundaries are explored, the Agitator provides a simple
means of expanding the operating window of conventional
steerable motor assemblies.

Smooth weight transfer and exceptional tool face control is

now possible with PDC bits, even in significantly depleted
formations after large azimuth changes. Extended intervals
can be achieved and the lack of requirement to work the BHA
- to obtain and maintain tool face - provides significant ROP
improvements.
The Agitator is compatible with all MWD systems and
provides a viable means of extending long reach targets while
improving ROP, reducing roller cone bit runs and minimizing
the chance of differential sticking.

MWD/LWD Compatibility
•Does not damage MWD tools or corrupt signals
•Reduces lateral and torsional vibration
•Run above or below MWD
•

No impact force to bit or tubulars

Bit Friendly
• Can be used with roller cone bit or fixed cutter bits
• No impact forces to damage teeth or bearings
•

Extends

no spudding

Directional Enhancement
• Prevents weight stacking and allows excellent
tool face control
• Provides means of sliding at increased ROP and lower
weight off hook
• Allows weight transfer with less drill pipe compression

AGITATOR

The Agitator allows steerable motors to expand

the boundaries of extended reach drilling, and
enhances their efficiency in less complex
applications.

1.2 Intervention and Coiled Tubing

Friction also plagues intervention work. The

Agitator has been used to convey memory
logs, perforating
sleeves at the guns
end ofandtortuous
to slide stuck tubing
completion
strings. It has also proven beneficial in running
liners and in the retrieval of stuck assemblies.

2. How it Works
The Agitator system relies on three main mechanisms:
1. Power section
2. Valve and bearing section
3. Excitation section:
•Running on jointed pipe = use a shock tool
•Running on coiled tubing = coiled tubing does the
shock tool’s job

AGITATOR

The power section drives the valve section producing

pressure pulses which in turn activate the shock tool or act
on the coiled tubing. It is the axial motion of the shock tool or
coiled tubing which breaks static friction.

The unique valve system is the heart of the tool; it converts the
energy available from the pumped fluid into a series of pressure
fluctuations (pressure pulses). This is done by creating cyclical
restrictions through the use of a pair of valve plates. The valve

opens
the tooland closes
cycles with
from the resulttothat
maximum the total flow area (TFA) of
minimum.

At minimum TFA, the pressure is high and at maximum TFA, the

pressure is low. (See Fig. 3)

How It Works
The frequency of these pressure pulses is directionally
proportional to the flow rate. Refer to the tool specifications to
see the frequency/flow rate relationship for each tool size. The
size of the valve plates is configured based on operational
parameters to optimize performance and ensure that the
pressure drop is always within specification.

The Agitator itself only creates pressure pulses. In order to

transform this hydraulic energy into a useful mechanical

force in jointed

string as placed above
2. In coiled
tubing operations only the Agitator is required; the coiled
tubing expands and contracts as the pressure pulses act
on it.

The shock tool contains a sealed mandrel which is spring

loaded axially, (see Fig. 4). When internal pressure is applied
to the shock tool the mandrel will extend due to pressure
acting on the sealing area (also known as the pump open
area) within the tool. If the pressure is removed, the springs
return the mandrel to its original position. When used directly
above the Agitator, the pressure pulses cause the shock tool
to extend and retract, thus producing an axial oscillation. The
Agitator system may be positioned anywhere in the drillstring to
focus energy where it will be most effective.

3. Planning The Job

3.1 Operating Parameters
Customers are requested to complete a simple Agitator pre-
job check sheet to ensure that the tool is set-up correctly,

including:
• Flow rate
• Fluid weight and type (See section 3.2)
• Pressure drop available to the Agitator
• Downhole temperature
•
Inclination and azimuth
• Drilling/intervention plan and/or well type
• Planned BHA configuration

The valve plates will be selected based upon flow rate, fluid

kept The flow
as accurate as
possible to aid best tool set-up. Hydraulics software is used
to aid tool set-up and produce an operating chart for the job.

3.2 Drilling/Completion Fluids

Drilling/completion fluids information is required to ensure
that the power section elastomer and the rotor will be
compatible with the operating environment:
• Brand and manufacturer
• Type/composition
• Chlorides concentration
• PH level
• Mud – oil/water ratio (%)
•

MSDS sheets for all completion fluids and additives

Downhole operating temperatures will also influence choice
of power section.

3.3 MWD
The Agitator is compatible with all MWD systems. Pre-job
planning is advised to avoid any problems at the rig site,
however. Where the MWD frequency can be altered please
contact NOV for advice. Also see Section 7.1 for Agitator
frequency information.

5. Drilling Procedures
5.1 Surface Testing
• Make up the tool in the BHA; do not grip on stator body
whilst making up.
•

For BHA will

motor and the MWD system.
(see 4. Applications and 5.3 Tool Positioning).
• The shock tool is placed directly above the Agitator main

body. (See Fig 5)

• The Agitator and shock tool may be tested on surface to
test the movement of the shock tool.
• The Agitator frequency is directly proportional to flow
rate. During the surface test, strong rig vibrations may
be apparent. If this is the case, it may be necessary
to test with a lower flow rate. At lower flow rates the
movement on the shock tool will be reduced.
• Movement should be seen at the top of the shock tool
during the surface test. Movement is generally in the
8 a
range
below the ” -shock
” (3tool,
– 10movement
mm). If there

commence
until a reasonable flow rate has been achieved.

Cold Climates Testing

The tool should not be surface tested if the temperature is
below 14ºF (-10ºC). There is a high risk of damaging the
elastomer.

Hot Hole Tools Testing

The power section will be fitted with a relaxed
interference fit to ensure correct performance under hot
conditions. On surface (lower temperatures) the elastomer
will not swell and a higher then specified pressure drop will
be experienced.

Note: Contact NOV for Operating Procedures relating to

coiled tubing drilling and intervention operations.

( Shallow the
MWD Testing).

Pulse Only Test (at Surface)

This can be done with the Agitator in the BHA.

Test the flow rate required by the MWD (this should be
more than sufficient to activate the Agitator system).
There will be easily recognizable oscillations in the
BHA. If the shock tool is visible, there will be an obvious
8 a
”- ” (3–10 mm) axial movement.

Full MWD Test (at Surface)

NOV recommends testing the Agitator separately from the
MWD string. Once the test has been successfully completed,
the Agitator can then be picked up and tested.
Bring the pumps up steadily until vibrations can be felt, or
movement seen in the shock-tool. There is no need to pump at
full drilling rate for the Agitator test. As soon as vibrations are
seen, the test is successful and the pumps can be turned off.

Shallow Hole MWD Testing

Where an MWD test is to be done at a depth of typically 656
– 984 ft (200 – 300 m), NOV recommends the Agitator and
motor are tested at surface, as above. The MWD string can
then be picked up and run into the hole for a normal test.

There is no minimum duration for testing – if vibration is

seen, then the test is good.

Additional confirmation can be seen on the MWD Operator’s

pulse detection screen.

5.3 Advice While Drilling

Weight on Bit
The Agitator can be more effective at overcoming weight

stacking
WOB the problems
springs in when lowertool
the shock WOBare is used. With reducing
compressed, a higher
the effectiveness of the Agitator. In low inclination wells
ensure that the shock tool is in compression and avoid bit
bounce.

Tool Positioning
In highly tortuous well designs, or where it can be proven that
weight stacking is occurring further up the hole, it may be
beneficial to run the Agitator system higher in the drill string.
Please contact your local NOV office for further assistance.

Operational Effectiveness
The optimum effectiveness of the tool depends on mud flow
rate. The tool will have been specifically configured for the
job in hand and should be run at its optimum flow rate for
maximum performance. The tool will be more aggressive
at higher flow rates. The “Pre-Job Check Sheet” will contain
drilling parameters specific to your job.

Note: Check with your local NOV office if there will be

significant changes in drilling parameters.

5.4 Tool Storage and Handling

Cold Climate Storage Guidelines
Stators should be stored in an environment above 32°F
(0°C). Short duration below freezing will be unavoidable when
transporting to the field or on stand-by but long term storage
should be above 32°F (0°C). Assembled tools should not
be stored in temperatures below 14ºF (-10ºC) for periods
exceeding one week.

Hot Climate Storage Guidelines

Stators should not be stored in direct sunlight. Cover tools
with a tarp if stored outdoors.

Post-Job Handling
Flush tool with clean water first then apply a soapy solution,
e.g. washing-up liquid. The Agitator’s power section cannot be
rotated by external force; hang tool vertically (pin connection
down); pour solution in the top (box connection) and allow
to filter down through the power section. Alternatively, pump
fresh water though the tool.

6. Trouble Shooting
6.1 Tool Operation
Recognizing How the Tool is Working
If the Agitator is under-performing then the following factors

should be considered:
• Mud weight and flow rate vs. planned: Check these
parameters against the operating chart.
• BHA position – reposition the Agitator or add a second
tool (See 4.3 Optimization Service)
• Temperature and mud type: actual vs. planned
• Hours in hole
• LCM pumped – Agitator has same capabilities as a
drilling motor.

Elastomer Over Shakers

More than likely to be the drilling motor. The Agitator power
section is not required to generate torque therefore is less
stressed and less likely to fail. The Agitator power section is
a 1:2 lobe style section whereas most motors are multilobe.
(See Fig. 6) Therefore close observation of the elastomer
pieces should reveal whether it is the Agitator or a multilobe
molding.

Trouble Shooting
Using the MWD Oscilloscope to Monitor Agitator Frequency
The Agitator’s frequency can be monitored on the MWD
oscilloscope (See Fig 7). Normally a spike will be apparent

at the Agitator’s
operation. operating
Fig.7 shows frequency
spike at which
approx. 17 Hz. verifies tool
The operating frequency can vary by up to 2Hz from tool to
tool so do not be alarmed if the frequency is not exactly as
calculated. Changes in temperature can also affect the tool
frequency.

Signal Loss
The Agitator will still be operating even if a signal reduction
or loss is experienced. This is not unusual, and only if
accompanied by a large pressure change should there be
cause for concern. Signal loss is likely to be caused by:
• Harmonics
• Attenuation

Often the signal will return through time/depth if caused by

harmonics. If down due to attenuation then the signal will
generally decrease with depth (See Fig 8).

AGITATOR

Chemicals/Fluids known to cause elastomer swelling:

• Diesel, Crude Oils, Ester based muds
• Oil based muds should have an aromatic content <2%
•
Drilling fluids which are too acidic (pH<4) or too alkaline
(pH>11); fluids close to these boundaries can be used
but circulation must be maintained to reduce damage to
the elastomer.

It is important to properly flush with soapy solution and service

the tools as soon as possible. A remedial action when running
in the above situation would be adjusting the power section
“fit”. This is done by utilizing undersize rotors which allows
the elastomer to swell, thus reducing stress on the elastomer.
To be sure of elastomer compatibility and power section fit,
NOV can conduct compatibility tests.

Note: using an undersize rotor has the same effect as using

an oversize stator.

Other factors to consider:

for general
rotor choice guidelines. Note that muds known to
cause swelling (low aniline point), coupled to a high
temperature, may require extra swelling allowance and/
or a special elastomer.

• Aerated Fluids
The Agitator will have reduced efficiency in aerated fluids
due to the compressible nature of gas. Care should also
be taken when running the tool in low liquid content to
reduce the wear of the power section and components.
Lubrication should be added to reduce friction. This
will extend life of all components. Lubricants should be
thoroughly mixed with water and injected into the drilling
medium at a rate of no less than 5% of the drilling medium

volume.
Aerated drilling fluids can cause over speeding of the
power section which will increase temperature and could
lead to premature failure. Ensure sufficient lubricant is
added. Generally fluids with >75% liquid content should
not cause a problem. Note: the Agitator power section
cannot be slowed down by applying WOB as per a drilling
motor, since it has no drive output (bit box). The motor
may be controlled in such applications but separate
consideration must be given to the Agitator.

• Explosive Decompression
Explosive decompression of the elastomer can be an
issue in aerated fluids; ensure float equipment is installed
in the string below the tool in such environments. When
explosive decompression is known to be a problem do
not run the tool again.

• Particulate Content
As the particulate content increases, erosion becomes
a problem with elastomers and other components. The
particulates should be limited to 2%.

Rotor/Mud Compatibility Rules

The rotor coating material must be compatible with the
fluid. Failure to ensure this could lead to rotor damage, in

turn leading
coating to stator
material elastomerEnvironments
is chrome. damage. The standard
known torotor
be
incompatible with chrome are:

• Chloride content
When the drilling fluid contains a chloride concentration
over 30,000 ppm (30,000 mg/l) the tool must be properly
flushed and serviced as soon as possible.
Do not run chrome plated rotors in chloride concentrations
of > 100,000 ppm (100,000 mg/l).

•
Very low/high ph
Do not run chrome plated rotors if the level is <4 pH or
>11 pH.

For use in such environments uncoated stainless steel rotors

or a tungsten carbide type coating is recommended.

Best practice is to properly flush the tool regardless of mud
type.

7.3 Dog Leg Severity (DLS)

Please contact NOV for specific advice.

7.4 Shock Tool Selection

NOV will recommend a shock tool which has been carefully
selected and assessed to ensure good performance. Not all
shock tools are compatible with the Agitator.
