Push-the-Bit System Designed for Full Directional Control While Rotating the Drillstring
The PowerDrive X6 rotary steerable system (RSS) is a push-the-bit RSS tool and the latest in the Schlumberger family of rotary steerable systems. Designed for full directional control while rotating the drillstring, the PowerDrive X6 minimizes the effect of external drilling environment factors, improving focus on performance and reliability.
PowerDrive X6 HT rotary steerable services 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
Performance
The increased operating envelope allows the PowerDrive X6 to work on higher mud weights and a much wider flow range, bringing RSS benefits to wells where it was previously not possible.
Reliability
The improved control for the robust PowerDrive X6 is suitable for harsh environments, able to handle
- higher mud weights
- wider flow ranges
- drilling dynamics
- aggressive muds
- debris.
Reliability has increased significantly in locations where PowerDrive X6
is being used. In field tests, the PowerDrive X6 RSS has drilled more than 1 million feet and 32,000 operating hours. Clients have experienced more than 25% improvement in reliability running the PowerDrive X6 RSS, most noticeably in smaller hole sizes.
Full rotation reduces drag, improves ROP, decreases the risk of sticking, and achieves superior hole cleaning. This full rotation improves wellbore smoothness and decreases tortuosity, which reduces drilling torque and eliminates unplanned wiper trips.
