Welltec A/S

Welltec A/S's patent strategy is almost exclusively focused on Drilling & Mining, which accounts for 100.0% of its portfolio, a surprising lack of diversification given the broader energy sector's trends. Despite this singular focus, patenting in Drilling & Mining has seen a significant decline, dropping by 30.0% in 2025 and a further 42.9% so far in 2026, suggesting a potential shift away from aggressive patenting in its core area.

DOWNHOLE TOOL STRING

Filed:2023-04-19Pub:2023-10-26
Applicant:Welltec A/S

The present invention relates to a downhole tool string for displacing at least a tool section in a well in a radial direction in a wall of a well tubular metal structure extending along an axial direction in relation to the radial direction, comprising a tool body having an outer face and a tool centre axis along the axial direction, a centre plane extending along and enclosing the centre axis, dividing the tool body into a first body half and a second body half, an operational machining tool for performing a machining operation in the well tubular metal structure, such as drilling a hole in the wall, and extendable from the outer face of the first body half in a first radial direction in relation to the tool centre axis, and a first displacement element extendable from the outer face of the second body half of the tool body for displacing the tool body towards the wall for arranging the operational machining tool close to the wall, the first displacement element being extendable between a retracted position and a projected position, wherein the downhole tool string further comprises a first distancing element extendable from the outer face of the first body half, the first distancing element having a retracted position and a projected position, and in the projection position of the first distancing element a distance is provided between the outer face and the wall of the well tubular metal structure. Moreover the present invention also relates to a downhole system.
