In the Permian Basin, the formations are tough, the pace is relentless, and there’s no room for tool failure. Drilling crews out here don’t just need strong equipment–they need gear that holds up under extreme pressure, reduces wear, and keeps the string on target. That’s where roller reamers in the Permian Basin come into play.
At Southwestern Machine Products, we manufacture precision roller reamers built specifically for the demands of West Texas drilling. Whether you’re working vertical or directional, through shale, chert, or mixed formations, our tools help improve hole quality, reduce vibration, and keep your rig turning longer with fewer slowdowns.
