在德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿举行的2026年IADC/SPE国际钻井大会上，Abaco Drilling Technologies公司重点展示了其HPD弹性体。该弹性体专为应对棘手的钻井条件而设计，例如高固含量井或过度扩孔等，这些条件通常会对弹性体施加异常大的应力，导致其过早失效。 3月17日，Abaco全球销售和市场营销副总裁Jonathan Thiele在大会现场接受DC采访时，介绍了该弹性体的研发过程以及各公司在实际应用中取得的成果。

Abaco Drilling Technologies’ HPD elastomer, featured at the 2026 IADC/SPE International Drilling Conference in Galveston, Texas, was designed to operate in problematic drilling conditions – such as wells with high solids contents or excessive reaming – that typically place an abnormal amount of stress on the elastomer and lead to premature failure. Speaking to DC from the conference on 17 March, Jonathan Thiele, VP of Global Sales and Marketing at Abaco, spoke about the development of the elastomer, as well as the results companies have seen in the field.
