Key benefits
Boost drilling performance
and reduce risk with NexTitan
Generate, control, and adjust force at the bit
NexTitan generates up to 30,000 lbf per unit, stackable for greater force at the cutting face. Tomax AST adds zero WOB.

Why NexTitan
Steadier weight at the bit means less vibration and stick-slip, fewer surprises downhole, and a safer rig for your crew. Fewer trips, longer bit life, and less non-productive time bring down your cost per well.
Utilize different electronic modes
Set target rate of penetration (ROP), weight on bit (WOB), constant torque, differential pressure, and more based on the formation you’re drilling in.
Hydraulically powered
Optimize drilling costs and performance
Every time NexTitan goes downhole, its sensors feed data to Advansa AI. The tool learns from each run, so performance repeats across a basin and improves the more you drill.
fine-tune future runs
Drill further in a single run
String friction limits WOB delivery in long deviated sections. NexTitan applies weight at the bit directly, so you can drill longer laterals and access more resources.
Modelled ~70% lateral extension
Avoid getting stuck downhole
NexTitan has two mechanical retraction elements that don't require electronics or surface commands to execute. Depending on the failure mode, you either continue drilling with reduced capacity or execute a controlled trip.
