Reelwell, with Odfjell Technology as strategic partner, has secured a multi-year contract with Vår Energi for the provision of its DualLink-powered digital drill pipe technology.
As part of the agreement, Reelwell’s DualLink technology will be deployed offshore on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) for the first time.
The initial contract covers operations on the COSLPioneer rig for one year, with the option of four additional one-year extensions.
The contract also includes an option to expand the scope to include all Vår Energi installations across the North Sea, depending on future operational requirements.
This is the first contract since the announcement of the strategic partnership in 2024.
Under the agreement, Reelwell will be responsible for the overall delivery of the contract, including the provision of its DualLink technology.
The DualLink system integrates real-time telemetry with wellbore power, delivering enhanced operational control and ensuring uninterrupted power to downhole tools. By directly powering tools in the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) that have traditionally been mechanically operated, the system eliminates the need for batteries and turbines, enabling instant surface control and enhanced functionality.
This advancement improves data transmission and ensures more precise, reliable operations throughout the drilling and wells process. This unique combination of wellbore
