Halliburton Introduces iCruise X™ Intelligent Rotary Steerable Service
Delivers precise well placement and reduced well time in harsh drilling environments and extended wells
The iCruise X is equipped with an advanced steering head fit for greater durability in operations with variable fluid conditions and in fluids with high solids content. It delivers in high temperature environments and provides more power for steering. Halliburton designed the iCruise X steering section with the latest metallurgy and design techniques. The collar includes new connections to better resist torsional oscillation and cyclical bending at higher doglegs. The extra force available for steering delivers geologically complex wells and curves faster and provides a stiffer assembly for straight well sections.
iCruise X™ Intelligent Rotary Steerable Systems
A large operator in the Middle East ran iCruise X to drill a curve section in a tough and abrasive formation. The system drilled the curve section in one run and beat the record for the basin by 30 percent saving the operator valuable well time.
