About us

Jagtech was founded in 2018 to develop advanced technologies for drilling fluid optimization and magnetic particle separation across global onshore and offshore operations.

Who are we?

Jagtech is a Norwegian technology company specializing in advanced drilling fluid optimization solutions for the global oil and gas industry.

Founded in 2018, Jagtech has developed a suite of patented technologies designed to enhance drilling efficiency, reduce non-productive time (NPT), and improve overall operational performance. Our flagship products include:

  • Dual Shear Gun: A high-pressure shearing unit that ensures optimal dispersion and stable emulsions across all fluid types, increasing electrical stability and viscosity.

  • Dual MAPS System: Utilizes powerful neodymium magnets stacked in Titanium tubing, arranged in a specific grid pattern to remove ferritic material from drilling fluids, significantly reducing equipment wear and improving directional drilling accuracy.

  • JAG-MAG: An inline version of the Dual MAPS System, designed for easy installation and operation, providing continuous metallic separation offshore and onshore.

    Semi-Auto MAPS: A semi-automated metallic separation system that balances operational control with automation, offering hands-off batch-based cleaning and reduced intervention time.

  • Auto MAPS: A fully integrated and automated process system for the automatic removal of metallic fines in the mud.

With a dedicated U.S. entity, Jagtech US LLC, based in Houston, Texas, Jagtech is committed to supporting our clients across North America. The technologies have been successfully deployed in various drilling operations, delivering tangible improvements in drilling fluid stability, reduced sagging, and more consistent mud performance under demanding conditions.

Jagtech – Improving Your Drilling Performance.

Jagtech was established in December 2018 by industry veterans Geir Olav Ånesbug, Arild Saasen, and Jan Egil Pallin, with initial backing from ProVenture Seed II AS and TENGA AS. In January 2019, we acquired the patented Magnetic Particle Separator (MAPS) technology from SAPEG AS, laying the foundation for our innovative product development.

In 2022, in-house testing of Jagtech’s patented Dual Shear Gun started, leading to its commercial success in 2023. The same year,  JAG-MAG was introduced. This is an inline solution based on the Dual MAPS technology, which has been successfully implemented in U.S. land rigs.

To better serve the growing client base in North America, Jagtech US LLC was established in Houstonin 2024 and in 2025 weare contionouing growing into Middle East and Acia Pacific

From the headquarter in Orkanger, Norway, to operating sites across Europe ,North America EMEA and APAC, Jagtech continues to innovate and provide cutting-edge solutions for drilling fluid optimization.

Increased performance

Improved directional drilling accuracy and improved signal/noise ratio.

Reduced operating cost

Reduce spending non productive time  by using the drill bit to condition the MUD.
