Ensure well stability, optimize drilling performance, and reduce operational risks with DEPRO’s integrated torque, drag, and hydraulics analysis.

Developed by Pegasus Vertex—A LINQX company, DEPRO is a comprehensive torque, drag, and hydraulics software designed to help drilling and completion teams minimize risks and maximize efficiency. By using DEPRO, users can:

  • Predict wellbore limitations based on specific friction factors.
  • Optimize rig specifications for enhanced performance.
  • Evaluate packer setting requirements with precision.
  • Analyze downhole circulating pressures, including surge, swab, and ECD.
  • Improve hole cleaning and volumetric displacement to ensure well integrity.

By simulating real-world drilling conditions, DEPRO enables proactive problem-solving, allowing teams to identify potential challenges before field execution.

Key Benefits:

  • Optimized Operations: Identify the best drilling parameters for faster, more efficient performance.
  • Integrated Analysis: Combines torque, drag, and hydraulics in one powerful platform.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Get all essential features from TADPRO and HYDPRO in a single package.
  • Risk Prevention: Detect potential issues early, including work string buckling, twist-offs, and hole cleaning inefficiencies.
  • Downhole Problem Mitigation: Prevent fluid kicks, loss circulation, and other drilling hazards.

As part of LINQX’s commitment to digital innovation in oil and gas, DEPRO empowers engineers with a data-driven approach to drilling optimization, helping them make informed decisions that enhance wellbore stability and reduce non-productive time (NPT).
