Drill complex wells with precision and efficiency

Operators are drilling longer, more complex well profiles where performance is defined by accurate well placement, rate of penetration, and total well construction time. Directional drilling solutions combine precise trajectory control with real-time data to guide execution, maintain wellbore quality, and deliver consistent results in horizontal, deviated, multilateral, and extended reach wells. These capabilities help maximize reservoir contact while reducing nonproductive time and operational risk.

Downhole insight and trajectory control for directional drilling accuracy

Accurate steering and continuous downhole data help operators reduce uncertainty and sustain hole conditions.  Integrated drilling, measurements, and logging solutions provide crews with the insights required to help avoid sidetracks and react quickly to formation changes.

Customized bottom-hole assemblies combine motors, rotary steerable systems, bits, and measurement tools to help minimize vibration, improve execution, and provide downhole stability in variable formations. The iCruise® intelligent rotary steerable system provides continuous rotation and responsive steering to support planned trajectories in long laterals and extended-reach wells.

Maximize reservoir access with extended reach and multilateral drilling

Operators who aim to reach farther targets or access multiple zones from a single pad can increase reservoir contact to reduce surface impact. Extended-reach drilling helps maintain consistent behavior by managing torque, drag, and predictive performance over long intervals. 

Multilateral construction strengthens production zone access without the cost of additional surface wells. Directional drilling technologies help position and execute multilateral junctions to support development in unconventional reservoirs and mature assets. Smooth dogleg severity in these applications helps protect casing and deliver operational stability. 

Optimize performance with data and analytics

Advanced drilling optimization software analyzes surface and downhole data to identify inefficiencies and dysfunctions. These insights support continuous refinement of drilling parameters to improve the rate of penetration, preserve wellbore integrity, and stabilize downhole conditions. With data-driven decisions, these solutions help operators improve execution consistency, strengthen downhole integrity, and decrease overall cost in difficult environments.
