P17301: LORD Downhole Test Simulator

/public/

Home

Project Summary	Project Information
LORD Corporation designs and manufactures multiple vibration isolators and shock dampers for use in downhole fracking drills. Currently, LORD is sending their product offsite to undergo necessary testing. Ideally, LORD would like to have more control over the testing process by bringing the testing in-house. This means easy access to an onsite testing apparatus which will provide the necessary drilling simulation equipment. The testing facility will include hardware to expose the components to various temperatures, pressures, vibrations, axial and lateral loads, and other conditions that they may encounter during use. LORD is looking for a feasibility study including a thorough cost analysis and 3D models. The cost analysis is to include the cost of parts along with the cost of utilities needed to run the simulator. The test simulator will be developed for a wide range of users at an in-house facility. A wide range of product lines will be tested on this test stand. The limitations and constraints for the test stand will be determined and reported during the project.
