ENGINEERING
Your Internal Technology Provider.
At its core, Rime is a team of technology nerds.
While we manufacture standard products, our engineering division exists for the problems standard tools can’t solve. Rime Engineering functions as a bespoke problem-solving unit for operators and service companies who need custom capability, not another off-the-shelf compromise.
We understand a simple truth about downhole technology: not every application fits a standard tool, and not every company wants to build an entire engineering department just to solve one critical problem.
That’s where we come in.
Engineering the Brains, Not Just the Iron
We build the architecture that makes downhole tools intelligent.
Our proprietary Agilis driver platform is the brain behind our systems, and we make it available as an adaptable foundation for your proprietary iron. Whether you’re developing a new tool, modernizing a legacy platform, or verticalizing your technology stack, Rime Engineering enables you to deploy intelligent, logged, survivable systems without reinventing the wheel.
From custom firmware development to mechanical integration of high-temperature electronics, we act as your internal technology provider who is embedded, responsive, and aligned with your operational reality.
Custom Driver Integration
We specialize in adapting intelligence to real-world downhole hardware.
Rime Engineering configures the Agilis platform to drive proprietary valves, actuators, and mechanisms, or to retrofit legacy systems—including XXT, GE, Tensor, and Telemetrix—with modern control, logging, and diagnostics.
The result is a smarter tool that doesn’t just function, but records, validates, and survives the environment it operates in.
High-Temperature Design
High temperature is a constraint that demands discipline.
Leveraging our validated Agilis-HT architecture, we design custom electronics, power supplies, and firmware capable of sustained operation at 200°C and vibration levels up to 25g RMS. These systems are engineered from the ground up for thermal stability, signal integrity, and long-term reliability.
No shortcuts. No optimistic ratings. Just proven performance where heat destroys most tools.
Survivability Analysis
Downhole failure is rarely about one event.
Rime Engineering designs full-envelope shock isolation systems that manage axial, radial, and torsional forces, protecting sensitive sensors and electronics from shocks up to 1,000g. We analyze the complete mechanical and dynamic profile of the tool, not just individual components.
Rapid Prototyping for the Drilling Cycle
Rime Engineering moves from concept to validated prototype with speed and rigor, using disciplined version tracking, structured bench testing, and rapid iteration. Our process is designed to match the tempo of field operations while maintaining the controls required for repeatable, reliable performance.
You get solutions that are fast, tested, and ready to run… not science projects.
Engineering Without the Overhead
Rime Engineering delivers a technology advantage without the burden of ownership.
We integrate with your team to provide custom performance as a service—using proprietary solutions without the cost of owning the IP, with ownership options available.
The result is expert-driven performance, flexibility, and efficiency.
