Capable of enhancing the full life cycle of any drilling campaign, Cougar provides an integrated suite of well-planning that helps clients to quantify wellbore position, reduce drilling risk and improve operational accuracy. Offering unique software that ensures optimal preparation and timely drilling that remains within budget, Cougar harnesses broad experience and expertise to create bespoke directional plans.

From mechanical thrusters that guarantee consistent bit engagement, to the most durable drilling jars on the market, Cougar’s industry-leading drilling tools can be customised to meet individual specifications for maximum performance. Their unparalleled drilling motors are composed of high-grade materials, built to handle extremely challenging conditions and capable of reaching total depth in a single run despite high temperatures or deviation. This cutting-edge drilling machinery guarantees effective application in any environment.

Cougar recognises that assembling accurate data is the best way to understand and subsequently improve drilling performance. In order to detect, measure and diagnose specific drilling dysfunctions, they implement radical technology such as ION – a data capture tool that can be placed in any BHA component or anywhere along a drill string to successfully obtain meaningful data. By developing and implementing technology that caters to the nuances and varying frequencies of different wells, Cougar broadens their potential reach of impact. From innovative MWD services that optimise wellbore placement, to advanced geosteering tools, Cougar harnesses the power of data to transform the functionality of any drilling operation.

From planning to execution, Cougar is the partner of choice in constructing a top-quality wellbore. Through the utilization of the best planning software combined with key engineering and geology talent, you can be guaranteed that your well planning and positioning will provide the best possible production and ROI for your project. From there, the Cougar field operations experts will execute on those plans to the highest degree, minimizing tortuosity and keeping the well on target to TD. Lastly, Cougar will review every well for increased performance on the subsequent operations for continual improvement.

When it comes to fit for purpose drilling tools and downhole technologies, Cougar is second to none. Our flagship tool, The Mechanical Thruster has been applied to over 8000 wells around the globe and is proven to reduce downhole dysfunction and damage while creating consistency in drilling parameters and reducing overall spud-TD times. Couple that with the most robust drilling jars, mud motors, shock tools, and downhole measurements and steering instrumentation, you can create tailored bottom hole assemblies to fit any drilling operation and environment and be confident you’ll TD on or ahead of plan.

Through the shale revolution of the twenty first century, Cougar has recognized where the future of the industry lies; in data… not just in capturing and reviewing surface data but in analysing complex, high frequency data sets to understand specific downhole drilling dysfunctions and understand where and why they are occurring. Through this ethos the company engineered the ION Downhole Data Sensor and coupled it with a variety of software’s to meet specific application requirements and objectives. Couple the data from ION with industry leading M/LWD equipment and you get a comprehensive understanding of how your BHA and overall drilling operation are functioning, where points for improvement lie and how to accommodate those improvements.
