Features & Benefits
Infinitely Customizable
The GeoproHYDRA™ is a versatile and robust hydraulically actuated reamer shoe system. Key features include:
- Customizable to match downhole requirements with surface parameters and limitations. Thanks to the NGX2™ multiple chamber drive system;
- Loss circulation tolerance;
- Low flow operability;
- Zero (0) stall pressures since flow paths are alw
The GeoproHYDRA™ is a versatile and robust hydraulically actuated reamer shoe system. Key features include:
- Customizable to match downhole requirements with surface parameters and limitations. Thanks to the NGX2™ multiple chamber drive system;
- Loss circulation tolerance;
- Low flow operability;
- Zero (0) stall pressures since flow paths are always open to flow;
- Can be operated while slacking off weight and rotating the string.
- Utilizes Tungsten Carbide Inserts (TCI) cutters instead of PDC or crushed carbide to reduce friction. Typically the GeoproHYDRA™ for any given hole size has over 2.5 times the number of TCIs compared to the equivalent TCI drill bit for the hole size.
Sizes and Availability
The GeoproHYDRA™ is available for all sizes of oilfield tubulars ranging from 2⅜” to 20".
The GeoproHYDRA™ is available as drillable or non-drillable variants.
Drillable variants come standard with Bronze-Copper Alloy nose and drillable Aluminum internals. Bronze-Copper Alloy nose ensures Tungsten Carbide Insert (TCI) cutters are pla
The GeoproHYDRA™ is available for all sizes of oilfield tubulars ranging from 2⅜” to 20".
The GeoproHYDRA™ is available as drillable or non-drillable variants.
Drillable variants come standard with Bronze-Copper Alloy nose and drillable Aluminum internals. Bronze-Copper Alloy nose ensures Tungsten Carbide Insert (TCI) cutters are placed within 1" diameter of the nose until the maximum OD of the nose for facilitate and enhance reaming. A secondary cutting structure is located on the body of reamer housing.
Non-drillable variants are made 100% from steel components including the internals and nose.
Operational Envelope
Operational Envelope
The NGX2™ Energized multi-chamber drive systems allows for replication of fluid power to deliver effortless flow of energy through the tool which is subsequently sent to the multiple impeller assemblies embedded in the reamer housing. Typical jet impact force in a dual chamber system is about 10 times the weight of rotating assembly.

Typical jet impact force in a dual chamber system is about 10 times the weight of rotating assembly.
Depending on the tool the tool size, the GeoproHYDRA™ is designed to operate from as little as 50 gpm to 1500 gpm which is basically across the possible fluid circulating spectrum when drilling.
