4-3/4" AutoTrak V Rotary Steerable System Precise Vertical Drilling

Technical Data S ummary
4-3/4" AutoTrak V Rotary Steerable System
Precise Vertical Drilling
AutoTrak V is a stand-alone rotary steerable
drilling system that automatically seeks and
maintains a strictly vertical, straight and
smooth wellbore.
Whether drilling a top-hole section, the end of
an S-curve or correcting an unintentionally
deviated wellbore, AutoTrak V offers an
economical, efficient solution with superior
drilling performance and continuous string
rotation.
The AutoTrak V vertical-seeking system is
based on the field proven, reliable AutoTrak
Rotary Steerable System, but tailored for the
challenge of cost effective drilling of vertical
wells or hole intervals. Three hydraulically
controlled steering ribs keep the wellbore
vertical while constantly rotating the drillstring.
AutoTrak V is automated, to run without any
additional MWD system and provides a
continuous near-bit inclination update.
The perfectly straight vertical borehole
delivered by the AutoTrak V system minimizes
the risk of wellbore collision in pad drilling
applications, and the superior hole quality
reduces operational risks during wireline
logging and when running casing.
It can be combined with high-power drilling
motors for ultimate performance and
optimized drilling dynamics.
Unlike other systems on the market the
steering mechanism is independent from bit
pressure drop, so that hydraulic parameters
like flow rate, mud weight and bit nozzle
selection can be optimized for maximum rate
of penetration. The steering ribs are
decoupled from string rotation to minimize
equipment wear and formation damage,
especially in softer formations, like in typical
top-hole sections.
Features
Benefits
Steering ribs automatically keep the wellbore
vertical while the drillstring rotates 100% of the
drilling time.
Delivers a vertical wellbore and reduces time
on well by eliminating correction runs and
sliding time with steerable motors.
Steering mechanism that provides continuous
steering while drilling ahead.
Improved wellbore quality minimizes issues
when running casing.
Near-bit inclination and diagnostic data in realtime.
Minimizes wellbore collision risks and ensures
that target is precisely intersected
Steering mechanism that is independent of
hydraulic parameters such as flow rate, mud
weight and mud properties.
Drilling performance is optimized by allowing
the adjustment of hydraulic conditions for the
application.
Capability to combine with Baker Hughes'
large and diverse fleet of high-power
downhole motors.
Improves rate of penetration by minimizing
drilling dysfunctions.
Economical and simple deployment with
minimal surface interaction during the drilling
process.
Reduces set up time and ensures efficiency
during drilling operations.
