AutoTrak Rotary Steerable System

Описание: Rotary steerable systems should deliver a smooth, in-gauge hole, a precisely placed wellbore, and fast, reliable performance. But most rotary steerables aren’t very smooth or very precise because of how they steer. The competition uses what we call pseudo steering, where they attempt to steer the drillstring with a fixed-tilt BHA or on/off pad cycles. Fixed-tilt BHA rotary steerable systems cause hole spiraling, drill a wide, uneven hole gauge, and leave a tortuous well path that can cause stuck pipe and completion problems later. On/off pad cycle rotary steerable systems cause doglegs, leave an irregular wellbore, and also result in a tortuous well path. Pseudo steering often results in a well that doesn’t exactly match the well you planned to drill. It delivers poor hole quality and sub-optimal well placement. But, you don’t have to settle for higher construction costs and lost production.

Get the superior performance you expect with continuous proportional steering in the AutoTrak rotary steerable system from BHGE. AutoTrak continuous proportional steering gives you precise, constant steering control, makes automatic adjustments based on real-time data, and uses independent, hydraulically actuated pads to continuously steer the BHA. The system gives you constant azimuth and inclination feedback, rotates continuously, reduces torque and drag, and improves hole cleaning while drilling. It leaves a smooth, in-gauge wellbore for trouble-free casing and completion running, and sends high-quality log data to the surface so you can accurately estimate reserves. You get faster, more reliable performance without the artificial limits imposed by push-the-bit and point-the-bit pseudo steering systems. The AutoTrak system lets you place the well exactly where you want it, provides exceptional TVD control, and enables you to maximize reservoir exposure.
