PowerDrive Orbit

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.
