VerticalScout®

Rotary Steerable System

Ensures a smooth vertical wellbore while maximizing ROP

VerticalScout Rotary Steerable System

Why Choose VerticalScout?

VerticalScout is a fully mechanical, vertical rotary steerable system designed to autonomously seek verticality as soon as wellbore deviation is encountered, without the need for surface commands. It is ideal for vertical applications in challenging drilling conditions, such as consolidated formations, highly dipped formations, or salt zones. The VerticalScout® ensures a smooth vertical wellbore while maximizing ROP, making it a cost-effective and efficient choice for vertical drilling operations.

Key Features

  • Autonomous Verticality:
    Seeks verticality automatically when wellbore deviation is encountered, without surface commands.
  • Mechanical Design:
    Fully mechanical system suitable for challenging drilling conditions.

Benefits

  • Cost-Effective Control:
    Provides mechanical vertical control at a lower cost.
  • Full Surface Rotation:
    No sliding required, ensuring continuous rotation.
  • Compatibility:
    Can be run with positive displacement motors.
  • Smoother Wellbore:
    Achieves a smoother wellbore compared to steerable motors.

 

Applications

  • Vertical drilling
  • Areas with highly dipped formations
  • High-temperature wells
  • Saltwater disposal wells
  • Hole sizes 6″ - 26″
