Challenger Sidewinder
Brand: Challenger Downhole ToolsThe Challenger Sidewinder is an innovative tool that oscillates the drill string, reducing drill string friction, this in turn reduces stick slip when drilling with an oriented steerable motor as well as other applications.
The Sidewinder runs in conjunction with a shock enhancer to create and enhance the tool for optimum results.
The magnitude of the pressure pulses created by the Sidewinder is a function of the mud density and the flow rate through the tool.
The Sidewinder has a flow passage bypassing the rotary valve where carbide nozzles can be installed to fine tune the Sidewinder to specific mud weight, flow rates and rig pump capacity.
The Challenger Sidewinder utilizes a balanced tungsten carbide rotary valve. The design virtually eliminates any axial or radial loads, prolonging valve, radial and axial bearing life.
