Case Study Linked technology was 25% faster than a conventional BHA
BHA with short-makeup drill bit and RSS had 25% higher ROP than offset runs.
PowerDrive Orbit
Rotary steerable system
Overview
Performance drilling with enhanced trajectory control
The PowerDrive Orbit™ rotary steerable system (RSS) provides extra reliability in complex operations where stick/slip, severe shock and torque, and complex hydraulic systems are significant risks. With dual downlink options, including the QuikDownlink continuous-circulation downlink service, it fulfills all commands from surface in any rig type, enables real-time decision making, and provides excellent trajectory control.
Real-time data for accurate well positioning
The PowerDrive Orbit RSS provides six-axis continuous survey and azimuth measurements that, together with automated downhole closed loops that include hold inclination and azimuth mode, optimize outcomes for well placement, trajectory control, and smoother boreholes. PowerDrive Orbit RSS minimizes dogleg severity in laterals, enables early control, and drives consistency in drilling operations. Extended gamma ray measurement provides early identification of zones of interest.
Features
- Innovative pad design with metal-to-metal sealing to handle corrosive drilling fluids and severe downhole conditions
- Expanded revolution rate limits, supporting up to 350 rev/min for higher ROP and stick and slip control
- Six-axis continuous inclination and azimuth measurements for better true-vertical-depth (TVD) definition and accurate well positioning
- Dual downlink options to fulfill all commands from surface in any rig type
Applications
- Curves and laterals
- High-performance drilling
- Complex fluid systems
- Extended-reach drilling
