Underreaming while drilling
Rhino integrated borehole enlargement system
Overview
Underream and drill in a single run
Operators face increasing pressure to improve drilling efficiency and reduce rig time without compromising borehole integrity. The Rhino™ integrated borehole enlargement system enables single-run underreaming and drilling, eliminating redundant trips and accelerating well delivery. With more than 8,000 runs and 13 million ft reamed, the Rhino system delivers reliable performance across the most demanding formations.
