A drilling operation requires more than just a bit and a motor—it’s a complex system of tools, assemblies, and support equipment working together to keep the well progressing safely and efficiently. The right drilling tool package brings these elements together, ensuring compatibility, reducing logistics headaches, and helping the rig team focus on drilling rather than chasing parts.
At Commander Downhole Technologies, we simplify the process by bundling BHA components, rental tools, and surface equipment sourcing into packages tailored to your project. Whether you’re running a directional program in West Texas or supporting operations overseas, we can supply the critical downhole tools and coordinate the equipment your site needs to keep turning to the right.
Downhole Components in a Commander Tool Package
Our rental fleet includes a wide selection of BHA components that integrate seamlessly with your drilling program:
Drilling Stabilizers – Standard and non-magnetic, to keep the hole straight and reduce vibration.
Sub Assemblies – High-torque connections for tool compatibility.
Jars – To help free stuck drill strings quickly and safely.
String Mills – For conditioning and cleaning the wellbore.
Shock Subs – To absorb vibration and protect sensitive tools.
Filter Subs – Standard and non-magnetic, to protect motors and MWD tools from solids.
Ditch Magnets – To capture metal debris from drilling fluids.
Non-Mag Collars – For accurate directional measurements.
Non-Mag Stabilizers – To maintain hole stability without magnetic interference.
Non-Mag Filter Subs – Combining filtration with non-magnetic performance.
Pup Joints – Short pipe sections for precise BHA spacing.
Double Bore Float Subs – For controlling fluid flow and preventing backflow.
Every tool is inspected and serviced before deployment so it arrives rig-ready.
Motor Components and Custom Manufacturing
Commander also manufactures and supplies NightHawk lower ends and motor parts for current and legacy models, including Tercel and Rubicon. This allows us to integrate hard-to-find or custom-built parts into your tool package—reducing the need to coordinate multiple vendors.
Commonly included motor components:
Radial bearings
Rotor catches and housings
Flow diverters
Transmissions
Fixed bends
If we don’t have it in stock, our custom manufacturing capabilities mean we can produce it to spec, often on short timelines.
Surface Equipment Sourcing for Complete Site Support
A drilling site needs more than just downhole tools to operate efficiently. Commander can source surface equipment to keep your operation running smoothly, including:
Forklifts and manlifts for material handling
Light towers for night operations
Pipe racks and bolsters for tubular storage
Porta potties for sanitation
Trash trailers for site cleanup
By combining surface equipment with your downhole tool package, we help you streamline procurement and logistics through a single point of contact.
