Innovex International, Inc. introduced the RIPstick, a fully mechanical drilling tool designed to address the most demanding downhole conditions.
According to the company, the RIPstick actively reduces axial shock, torque, and weight-on-bit (WOB) spikes. This results in smoother drilling operations, decreased tool fatigue, and improved stability during challenging drilling campaigns. The solution is aimed at oil and gas operators seeking greater efficiency and reduced equipment wear in critical applications. Details about deployment and field performance are expected to follow.
The company previously introduced the Nautilus Float Sub, a tool designed for advanced casing with a smaller outer diameter and higher torque capabilities. Innovex also recently announced its plans to participate in PRES 2026 to showcase its integrated performance solutions to energy sector peers. These initiatives follow ongoing efforts to address technical challenges in oilfield operations.
