Revolution - High-Dogleg Rotary-Steerable System
The Weatherford Revolution HDL RSS enables precision drilling in complex build sections to deliver greater reservoir exposure and faster drilling. The Revolution HDL RSS has a short, compact design that reduces the complexity of rotary-steerable drilling while placing critical LWD measurements close to the bit for better trajectory control and wellbore placement. The HDL RSS can drill complex wellbores with full bottomhole-assembly (BHA) rotation at the rate of up to 16°/100 ft (30 m). The RSS enables complete shoe-to-shoe drilling in a single run to achieve previously unattainable well trajectories and reduce overall drilling time. The RSS also features continuous string rotation that reduces drilling torque and drag, provides better hole cleaning, and improves borehole quality.
- High-build-rate wells
- Single-run drilling from vertical and building to horizontal
- Real-time monitoring for geological control
- The Revolution high-dogleg (HDL) rotary-steerable system (RSS) enables deep kickoffs in high-build-rate wells to maximize reservoir exposure.
- The RSS achieves a high build rate in curved applications, yet it can be configured to maintain low tortuosity in lateral and tangent applications.
- The RSS performs high-dogleg turns.
- The RSS can be fully integrated with any Weatherford logging-whiledrilling (LWD) system.
- The point-the-bit design of the RSS improves hole quality, which makes cuttings removal more efficient and enables casing and liner systems to run smoothly to bottom.
- The near-bit inclination and gamma ray sensor facilitate real-time monitoring and geologic control.
- On-the-fly downlinking reduces rig nonproductive time and enables precise steering control.
- On-board sensors measure vibrations, whirl, and stick-slip, which enables operators to implement mitigation strategies in real time.
- The compact design of the RSS positions critical LWD measurements close to the bit for more accurate geosteering.
- The pivot is optimized for high-build-rate wells.
- The optional dual-battery configuration of the RSS extends operational performance
