... the maximum make up torque for the existing drill pipes. Powered rotary steerable systems (RSS), applied within the optimum drilling environment, can improve rate of penetration (ROP), lower risks, and reduce non-productive time (NPT), which can decrease drilling costs. Using through motor telemetry...

... window of 1-2m TVD only. The main objective is to place the well less than 1m TVD below the reservoir top, this was achieved by utilizing Multilayer Bed Boundary Detection and Rotary Steerable System. Integrating propagation resistivity curves response with the directional resistivity curves response...

... Abstract This paper describes a new approach to evaluating the effectiveness of the rotary steerable system (RSS) steering mechanism on wellbore tortuosity in horizontal wells. Wellbore tortuosity in drilling applications is defined as any unwanted deviation from the planned well trajectory...

... a drilling challenge with the limited capabilities of the current, commercial Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS). The maximum Dogleg Severity (DLS) output capability for a RSS drilling 8–1/2 in hole size from most major directional drilling service providers is about 6.5° /100 ft. In soft formations...

... Abstract The high-volume, land-based drilling markets have become increasingly demanding over recent years. Drilling complex, extended-reach horizontal wellbores through multiple targets with tighter windows is becoming increasingly common. Rotary Steerable System (RSS) technology, originally...

... of high performance motors and rotary steerable systems. The drilling fluid design was optimized to improve the wellbore stability and quality. Torque and drag had to be carefully managed in order to deliver the deep kick off well profile. The rig team implemented procedures for monitoring hole...

.... An added feature of the point-the-bit rotary steerable system is the inclination at the bit, which facilitates drilling through a 3-ft total vertical depth (TVD) tolerance window and promotes proactive decision making to avoid collision with the reservoirs above or below, with a TVD separation of up to 30...

.... With these elements, optimum directional tools steerability is necessary to achieve the well objectives. To overcome these challenges, the operator and drill Bit Company developed an optimization process to design a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit to use with point-the-bit rotary steerable systems (RSS...

... of casing programs, drilling tools, services, and teamwork from all departments to keep the well within the desired target. To achieve the objectives, the KOC team decided to utilize an advanced proprietary rotary steerable system, logging while drilling (LWD) Imaging technology and the geosteering services...

... surface rotary speeds to achieve acceptable penetration rates. As a result, these rotary systems may need to place very high dynamic loads on small diameter drillpipe. A new rotary steerable system has been developed which integrates a high performance drilling motor into the bottom hole assembly...

... consuming and would often result in poor borehole quality. In order to minimize the effect of these issues and to optimize the overall drilling process, various types of rotary steerable systems have been used in a number of wells over the past year. This paper will review the use of one of these systems...
