FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
3. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
Excess Sliding Friction
Poor sliding ROP, weight transfer
Casing hangs up
Logging tools won’t go to bottom
Cuttings Bed Traps
Hole hard to clean
Avalanche
Stuck Pipe
Backreaming cuts new rock
Unstable bit
Higher vibration
More failures
Shortened bit life
More trips
4. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
Industry Demands
• Increased reservoir deliverability and
reduced well costs
• Improved wellbore quality and placement
• Increased drillstring life
• Reduced drilling and completion time
6. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
Synergies
• Sperry-Sun, the leader in directional drilling
and rotary steerable technologies
• Security DBS, the leader in fixed cutter drill
bits, as well as Near Bit Reamer (NBR™)
and coring technologies
7. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
Introduce a suite of tools that can
deliver the highest quality wellbore
- SlickBore™ matched drilling system
- Geo-Pilot™ rotary steerable system
- SlickBore Plus™ drilling and reaming
system
8. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
SlickBoreTM Matched Drilling System
• Less hole spiraling and hole tortuosity
• Better hole cleaning, easier trips
• Improved slide-drilling efficiency, reducing AFE
days 25-50%
• Reduced vibration and bending stress
• Increased mud motor and MWD reliability
• Better bit stability, increased bit life
9. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
Geo-PilotTM Rotary Steerable System
• Second-generation “point-the-bit” rotary steerable
system for 8 1/2-in. and 12 1/4-in. holes sizes
• Ability to drill faster, farther, and more complex
well trajectories, with improved hole quality
• Minimize non-constructive bit behavior caused by
aggressive side-cutting bits
• Eliminate hole spiraling, minimize wellbore
tortuosity, and improve directional drilling control
and efficiency and downhole tool reliability
11. FullDrift™ Drilling Suite
SlickBore Plus™ Drilling and Reaming System
• Combines the SlickBore™ system with Security
DBS’ NBR™ technology
• Simultaneous hole enlarging while drilling
• More reliable alternative to bi-center bits or
equivalent concept
