BoTn5000 Hardbanding Performance
BoTn5000 provides excellent wear resistance to maximise drill pipe protection, even in very demanding drilling environments such as open hole sections in complex formations, extended-reach wells, horizontal wells, and deep or ultra-deep wells. In a comparative evaluation of 13 hardbanding wires conducted by an international third-party authority, BoTn5000 ranked first in wear resistance, with results published in a prestigious journal. This makes BoTn5000 the best choice for harsh and abrasive drilling conditions.
Key Benefits of BoTn5000
- Maximum tool joint protection
- Tool joint life extended by more than three times
- Very casing-friendly
- Crack free with no spalling, chipping, or flaking
- Fully compatible with all non-cracking hardbanding products
- Very good weldability
Main Applications
- Designed for very harsh abrasive drilling conditions with high casing protection requirements, including open hole sections in complex formations, deep and ultra-deep wells, horizontal wells, extended-reach wells, and other severe environments
- Recommended for drill pipe, heavy weight drill pipe, and drill collars
