September 2018, Celle, Germany
The Celle Drilling 2018 event took place at 11-12 September with about 260 attendees with focus on technology development. On the 2nd day, Well Engineering Partners presented on behalf of Huisman Well Technology the presentation about New Technology: Step-Change in Rotary Steerable System (RSS) Technology enabled by Enhanced Casing Installation System.
The half-hour presentation was one of the best attended presentations of the conference and contained:
- Why another Rotary Steerable System (RSS) is required?
- The Technology of Enhanced Casing Installation (ECI)
- How the combination of ECI with RSS works
- Trial results
- Benefits & opportunities
- Conclusion
The event was a great success with new opportunities to support clients with this innovative downhole technology. The benefits of this technology are:
- Full mechanical and simpler bearings than mud motor: more reliability & lower built cost
- Continuous steering using the topdrive for smooth and accurate steering: automation
- Point-the-bit and casing instead of formation used to provide steering force: more consistent directional performance
Unique applications made possible with this innovation are:
- Open hole multilaterals with a cased-off main bore
- Low cost & low tortuosity vertical well sections at reduced pump power and still be able to kick-off
- Top sections of high angle wells
