DRILLSTRING_STABILIZER

(Rules) (Express)

A device with a bladed section which is of a larger diameter than its own body, or is itself a bladed section which can be attached to another drillstring component. Typically the diameter of the stabilized section will be the same (or under gauge by a prescribed amount) as that of hole in which it is to be placed. These components can be installed within a drillstring for a variety of reasons, some of which are: a) Minimize the contact area between the drillstring and the hole; b) Centralize the bit and reduce bending stresses within the drillstring while rotating; c) Allow the drillstring to exhibit particular directional characteristics.
