Middle East wells confirm high build-rate rotary steerable system

摘要

Since the late 1990s, rotary steer-able systems (RSS) have revolu tionized drilling and redefined how far directional drilling can go. Extended-reach drilling, multilaterals and deepwa-ter drilling have been brought up to new levels of efficiency. Well placement has also been enhanced, enabling reservoir navigation to be executed with outstand ing net-to-gross results. However, the lim itation of build-up rate capabilities, often around 6.57100 ft, has in cases forced planning to be changed to fit within the limitations.
