Faster Drilling Reduces Nonproductive Rig Time
The PowerDrive vorteX powered rotary steerable system (RSS) has additional torque capacity that allows a higher weight on bit for increased ROP for more productive drilling. The system can be run with either a PowerDrive X5 or a PowerDrive Xceed front end, depending on drilling conditions, for maximum revolutions per minute, resulting in longer runs.
PowerDrive vorteX HT rotary steerable systems have a proven track record for high-temperature operations around the world. Our suite of best-in-class HT technology and high-temperature-certified engineers includes products and services for directional drilling, MWD, and LWD. See the HT suite
An integrated power section rapidly rotates the bit and allows slowing of the drillstring rotation. Stick/slip and other damaging vibration modes common to conventional rotary drilling are reduced. All available energy is used to drill the hole optimally. Casing wear and drillstring fatigue are reduced in sections with high dogleg severity, lessening the chance of drillstring or casing failure.
All external parts rotate at drillstring speed, reducing drag. The rotation also helps clean and condition the hole, lowering the risk of differential or mechanical sticking. You can stabilize the system at any of four locations along its length. This choice of locations lets you customize all of your directional drilling jobs.
On a rig that lacks the power to rotate the drillstring during conventional directional drilling, the system increases the rig's operating envelope, allowing RSS techniques to improve directional performance.
Powered RSS with real-time wireless communication of near-bit direction and inclination (D&I) and LWD information for any geosteering or navigational challenge—fully configurable RSS and BHA enable drilling ahead with confidence.
