Why Smart Darts™ are better
Some of the benefits that users get from Smart Darts™:
    • Quicker to set
    • More reliable
    • Simpler to use
    • More versatile
    • HPHT resistant
    • High angle friendly
What are the features which make them better?

Smart Darts™ are the key to unlocking the true potential of a simple circ sub to deliver reliable and versatile bypass on demand. Whatever the drilling application, whether planned or contingency, DAV MX™ users get rapid and reliable switching to the optimal flow path configuration.

Experienced circ sub users know that getting the correct flow path mode is vital for a given application. There is no need for DAV MX™ configuration in advance, one tool in hole will do it all. Each bypass application has its own dart to ‘Quick Set’ the valve into the right mode. LCM spotting, split-flow hole cleaning, dry tripping etc. are truly ‘plug and play’!

The closing cycle is just as easy with a universal closing dart rapidly deployed to allow drilling to resume quickly with no loss of hydraulic performance. Multiple Smart Dart™ cycles can be performed in any sequence.

Dormancy is where the tool scores highly, robust and rugged and with class leading thru-bores. Users get minimal interference with other parts of the program and maximum compatibility with other drilling systems such as reamers or core barrels.

Why compromise, when you can have everything?
