SPEED

“SPEED—The real-time data and real-time decisions made possible by Answers While Drilling^SM services drive faster and more flexible operations than traditional drill-then-log methods.”

When the answers you’re looking for are maximum ROP, unmatched accuracy and the best way to shorten drilling schedules, INTEQ’s closed-loop drilling systems and high-performance drilling motors provide the answers in drilling.

The fastest and most powerful answers for drilling.

Baker Hughes and INTEQ developed the industry’s first steerable rotary system—the AutoTrak^® RCLS—in 1997. Fifteen million feet of drilling later, INTEQ continues to push our revolutionary closed-loop technology into new realms of power, speed and accuracy.

• AutoTrak RCLS. AutoTrak RCLS continues to define the state-of-the-art technology in rotary steerable, closed-loop systems. It delivers superior efficiency, unmatched geosteering precision and ultra-extended reach capability. The system includes an advanced BHA, incorporating Answers While Drilling FE and geosteering sensors, that precisely keeps the steering unit in the reservoir target zone, with two-way communications that allow drillers to redirect the system to new targets as desired without interrupting the drilling process. The continuous rotation of the AutoTrak RCLS is the key to its optimum penetration rates—as much as double that of comparable systems—while reducing drillstring friction and eliminating the downtime once needed for steerable motor orientation.
  
  
• AutoTrak X-treme. The next-generation AutoTrak X-treme^® service is the ultimate drilling machine. AutoTrak X-treme uses a proprietary, integrated downhole power section to generate more torque and more uninterrupted power—from 300 to 1,000 horsepower, 50% to 100% more power than standard motors—right where it’s most needed. The result is exceptional penetration rates, unparalleled drilling efficiency, precise wellbore placement and reach that extends the reach of wells far beyond what was believed technically possible.
  
  
• VertiTrak. Vertical drilling is all about pragmatism: drill down as fast as possible, as straight as possible, with the highest possible wellbore quality. INTEQ incorporated the downhole power of X-treme motor technology with the automated steering and two-way communications AutoTrak control to deliver the vertical answer: the VertiTrak^® system. The first automated system designed specifically for vertical drilling, the VertiTrak system delivers maximum ROP while keeping your well truly vertical, continuously measuring inclination and generating the steering forces to correct any deviation from vertical. The result: a clean, straight hole that slices drilling days off your schedule while enhancing well stability.
