BHA

Downhole Filter Subs PRODUCTS

With our downhole retrievable filter subs, you can now protect sensitive equipment in the BHA from debris
and large particulate matter. The filter section has been designed to be removable and reseatable and can be
replaced should large volumes of particulates reduce flow efficiency.

Paradigm offer these subs in all popular OD sizes to suit

commonly used connections *. Bodies are offered in both
ferrous and non-magnetic steel giving placement flexibility,
either in the bottom hole assembly or in the main drill string.
The filter elements have been designed to maximise flow area
and thus reduce the risk of ‘plugging up’ while effectively
retaining the smallest practicable particulate size.

While designing the filter subs, safety was the first priority.
Paradigm filter subs are 55” long for easy and safe handling
on the rig floor. The filters are designed to be installed and
removed from the sub body with ease.

Our down-hole retrievable/reseatable filter sub gives

directional drilling engineers a solution to help prevent solid
materials from obstructing or damaging BHA tools and
sensitive components such as MWD

* Bespoke sizes and connection types can be provided. Please contact

us for further information..
