Geo-Pilot®, Geo-Pilot® XL, Geo-Pilot® GXT Rotary Steerable Systems
Setting Direction with the Pilot™ Fleet
The cornerstone of the Sperry Drilling services' Pilot™ Fleet of automated drilling systems, the Geo-Pilot® rotary steerable system delivers unprecedented speed and up to a 20 percent reduction in non-productive time. Using point-the-bit technology, the Geo-Pilot rotary steerable system precisely steers the wellbore while rotating the drillstring to increase ROP and reduce drilling days. The Geo-Pilot service delivers real-time continuous at-bit steering control and formation evaluation to provide an accurate assessment of the wellbore position at all times.
The Geo-Pilot XL rotary steerable system builds on the success of the Geo-Pilot service to introduce unprecedented reliability to the industry’s fastest rotary steerable solution. Equipped with a Torsional Efficiency Monitor (TEM™ system), the Geo-Pilot XL system provides instant warning of the onset of stick-slip. A new ruggedized design allows the Geo-Pilot XL system to overcome a range of harsh drilling conditions. This system delivers precise wellbore placement, maximum reservoir exposure, and maximum durability.
Geo-Pilot, Geo-Pilot XL and Geo-Pilot GXT rotary steerable systems are fully integrated with all Sperry Drilling services' LWD sensors and the InSite® rig information management system to provide a complete real-time drilling and formation evaluation package.
