Improving BHA tool reliability while enabling PDC cutters to stay sharp for faster, longer drilling.
NeoSteer CL
Curve and lateral at-bit steerable system
Emissions Reduction
Lower CO2 emissions by drilling more sections in one run.
Drill the curve and lateral in a faster single run while reducing drilling time and minimizing carbon emissions.
The NeoSteer CL curve and lateral at-bit steerable system (ABSS) is specifically designed to enable drilling the curve and lateral in a faster single run where other methods require multiple trips. It achieves high build rates, increases on-bottom drilling speed, and extends lateral lengths. Especially where vertical, curve, and lateral sections are the same hole size, the NeoSteer CL ABSS not only reduces NPT by eliminating the need to change out the BHA for every section, it also lowers CO2 emissions.
Six-axis continuous inclination and azimuth measurements and automatic trajectory control for accurate well placement in shale and unconventional wells
The NeoSteer CL ABSS includes comprehensive six-axis continuous inclination and azimuth measurements. The multiaxial component enables automatic hold inclination and azimuth (HIA) measurements for precise well positioning. This feature, along with self-steering capabilities, helps provide smooth tangents with minimized tortuosity. Near-bit extended-range gamma ray measurements provide additional well positioning data for improved real-time decision making.
Azimuthal image gamma ray for improved steering in the curve and lateral sections
The NeoSteer CL ABSS can be configured with an onboard azimuthal image gamma ray cartridge to improve in-zone percentage and enable steering within the reservoir sweet spot. With an azimuthal gamma ray cartridge just 6 ft behind the cutting structure, the ABSS can identify signs of changing lithology earlier to enact instant steering corrections.
Gets to TD quicker by avoiding the postcurve trip
Drill the curve and lateral sections with one BHA
Provides increased reservoir exposure
Attain a high build rate with effective geosteering
Delivers a high-quality wellbore
Streamline completion with straight laterals
A
Cutting structure
B
Pistons push against the wellbore wall to steer. They are very close to the bit, which gives it better leverage to execute sharper turns
C
Inclination sensor enables automatic hold inclination
D
Multiaxial component enables automatic hold inclination and azimuth measurements for precise well positioning and helps provide smooth tangents with minimized tortuosity
E
Azimuthal gamma ray cartridge is located just 6 ft behind the cutting structure, enabling operators to proactively identify signs of changing lithology and enact instant steering corrections
