The document describes Agitator coiled tubing tools produced by National Oilwell Varco that reduce friction and improve efficiency of drilling and intervention operations. The Agitator tool creates oscillations to reduce downhole friction, improve weight transfer, and extend the point of lock-up, allowing drilling at greater depths and faster rates. An improved Agitator NEO tool features a redesigned power section and valves to operate at higher pressures and frequencies for increased reach and rate of penetration. The document provides specifications for Agitator and Agitator NEO tools.

Agitatorâ„¢ Coiled Tubing Tools
Our Agitatorâ„¢ oscillation tools have provided unparalleled friction
reduction longer than any other tool in the industry, and our Agitator
coiled tubing (CT) tools further that tradition. With our Agitator CT tools
in your bottomhole assembly (BHA), you can drill faster and drill farther.
Proven Friction Reduction,
Improved Weight Transfer
The Agitator CT tool increases the reliability of your coiled tubing
operation and allows you to reach significantly greater depths in
torturous, horizontal wellbores. By creating gentle oscillations along
the longitudinal axis of a coiled tubing string, the Agitator CT tool
reduces downhole friction, improves weight transfer to the BHA, and
significantly extends the point of lock-up.
Proven in a wide range of applications, the Agitator CT tool improves
rate of penetration (ROP) and enhances your efficiency in coiled tubing
milling and intervention operations.
Reliability With Every Turn
When you include our Agitator CT tools in your BHA, you get more
than a piece of equipment—you’re getting a partner. We have years
of experience and thousands of runs from which we’ve learned and
improved our Agitator oscillation tools. With drilling solutions engineer
(DSE) support worldwide and more than 150 service locations around
the globe, we deliver the highest quality products and equipment, as
well as the support to meet the needs of your operation.
Agitatorâ„¢ NEO Coiled Tubing Tool
Featuring a shorter length and improved design, the Agitator NEO
CT tool is an integral component of your extended reach BHA. Our
engineers have designed the power section and valve assemblies
for the Agitator NEO CT tool to improve performance: the new power
section design allows you to pump at higher flow rates and can
withstand pressures up to 10,000 psi, and we redesigned the valve
assemblies to work at optimum operational frequencies.
These improvements produce axial vibrations that further enhance
the efficiency of the BHA. The Agitator NEO CT tool allows for increased
weight-on-bit and extended reach, improving your rate of penetration
and helping you reach total depth.
Extends your reach and improves load transfer by reducing
friction downhole
Improves your ROP by allowing for increased weight-on-bit
Delays sinusoidal/helical buckling and decreases motor
stalls by reducing weight stacking
Allows for higher flow rates with redesigned power section
and valve assemblies (Agitator NEO CT tool)
Uses optimal operational frequencies that further enhance
the efficiency of your BHA.
