WWT Non-Rotating Protectors (NRPs) improve
drilling performance and well cleanout in geother-
mal applications by preserving expensive steel

and alloy cas-ing integrity during multiple entries.
They also enhance drilling performance through

torque, drag, and buckling reduction. WWT NRPs
can help maximize the torque and weight capa-
bilities of the drilling rig, while extending the life

of the casing by preventing damaging contact.
