Case Study YPF Achieved the Longest, Fastest Lateral Section in Nonconventional Vaca Muerta, 10 Days Faster than Offsets
Curve and lateral at-bit steerable system drills 4,155 m in 211 circulating hours, breaking the 1,000-m-drilled-per-day barrier.
NeoSteer
At-bit steerable system
Overview
NeoSteer™ at-bit steerable systems are a new category of drilling systems that eliminate BHA reconfigurations between the curve and lateral sections. Part of our Transition Technologies™ portfolio of solutions, NeoSteer systems help minimize your well construction CO2 footprint. These technologies reduce energy consumption and emissions, helping you reach your sustainability goals with improved efficiency, fewer trips, and less drilling time. NeoSteer at-bit steerable systems are aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 12 and 13.

At-bit steerable systems
NeoSteer at-bit steerable systems are capable of drilling both high-dogleg severity (DLS) curve sections and straighter, higher-quality lateral sections at high performance without the need to change the configuration between sections. This saves significant time and tool cost associated with tripping out and changing the BHA while lowering CO2 emissions by drilling more sections in one run.
