The Smith Services Vertical Drilling System is designed to provide an efficient and cost-effective
means of maintaining a vertical wellbore trajectory.
The system utilizes proven packed hole assembly
BHA design techniques and combines it with the latest high performance positive displacement motor
technology for optimum performance. Synthetic diamond enhanced inserts are also selectively used at
the BHA contact points to provide effective wall support, resistance to abrasive wear and reduced friction. The reaming action of the synthetic diamond
enhanced inserts also helps ensure a smooth, full
gauge, high quality wellbore.
The Vertical Drilling System positive displacement
motor utilizes a power section with a uniform elastomer thickness on the stator that provides more
power and greater reliability than conventional
downhole motors.
A proprietary Smith Services BHA prediction modeling software program is utilized to analyze and optimize the BHA design and drilling parameters for
each specific application.
Features and Benefits
Optimized, cost effective system for vertical
drilling applications
Rotating near bit combined reamer/stabilizer to
provide additional BHA contact support adjacent to the bit to assist in deviation control and
its reaming action maintains a full gauge, high
quality wellbore
Added diamond enhanced stabilization on the
motor bearing section and transmission section
to ensure that a high quality vertical wellbore
trajectory is maintained
High power and longer life resulting in improved
drilling performance

Borrox Advanced Performance Sealed Bearing Reamer

The Borrox Advanced Performance (AP) Reamer is designed for modern drilling challenges, with fully customizable hole gauge maintenance and torque reduction characteristics.
The Borrox AP Reamer is available for all common hole
sizes and can be configured for near bit and string placement in the BHA. Three different cutter assemblies are
available for specific formation applications. KSX cutters
utilize high-strength TCI inserts for soft to medium-hard
formations. RSX cutters are milled profile rollers for torque
reduction applications. DEX cutters feature diamond enhanced inserts for high abrasion and impact resistance,
ideal for use in hard formations. Cutter assemblies can
be easily changed on the rig floor to tailor the Borrox AP
Reamer to a broad range of wellbore conditions.
Features and Benefits
High flow body design for increased annular TFA and
improved hole cleaning
Longer full gauge cutting section for enhanced gauge
maintenance
Proprietary seal configuration for extended bearing
life at higher loads, temperatures and rotary speeds
Three different reamer cutters available to tailor the
tool to specific applications
Cutter assemblies easily and safely changed on the
rig floor

Borrox Advanced Performance Sealed Bearing Reamer

Applications
Reduce downhole torque resulting from wellbore spiraling and doglegs
Medium to severe packed hole assembly designs typically require a Borrox AP Reamer to be placed directly
above the bit to provide reaming ahead of the stabilization. A reamer is not an effective stabilizer and
should always be followed, in this application, by full
gauge stabilization
Mild packed hole assemblies can be designed using
the Borrox AP Reamer as the first zone of stabilization. In extremely abrasive drilling conditions, an additional reamer should be considered

Model 60 and 62 Rotary Reamer

The Model 60 Rotary Reamer utilizes a simple non-sealed bearing design making it cost-effective to run
in many applications. It is available
in a broad range of hole sizes from
4 1/8 inches to 33 inches and offers
a choice of two cutter designs. The
Model 62 offers a large bore feature
available only on tools from 6 1/2 inch
to 8 3/4 inch hole size.
Both models come in three- and sixpoint reamers for bottom hole and
string placement. Cutters are retained using a simple design that is
easily serviced by rig personnel using
common hand tools.

Features and Benefits

Large diameter, carburized and
hardened pins serve as robust
abrasion-resistant bearing sections.
True rolling reamer cutters offer
two cutting structure options. The
Type Q cutter achieves maximum reaming action in medium
to hard formations where crushing action against the formation
is preferred. Hardfaced, carburized steel teeth ground to gauge
provide a wear-resistant reaming
structure. Knobby cutters use
tungsten carbide inserts to fracture
the rock, and are recommended
for use in hard formations.

Diamond Enhanced Insert Reamer

Applications
Standard runs using milled tooth
rock bits, drilling surface hole
and shallow wells
High temperature conditions
High rotary speed applications for
the Model 60 due to its large bearing area and open circulation

The Gauge Indicator Sub generates an increase in torque when the drill bit wears
below nominal gauge specification. This
cost-effective technique allows the driller to
detect drill bit gauge wear by the increasing torque as the wear-resistant blades
make contact with the hole wall. The Gauge
Indicator Sub can help reduce reaming time
and maximize ROP. A short, efficient body
design enables the sub to be made up between the drill bit and mud motor or rotary
steerable system. The Gauge Indicator Sub
is available in a broad range of sizes.

Diamond Enhanced Insert Stabilizer

The Diamond Enhanced Insert (DEI) Stabilizer is purpose-built for BHA stabilization in
hard or abrasive formations. Synthetic DEI
technology is combined with field-proven
Type 300 hardfacing technology for maximum performance. The strategically placed
inserts ream ahead of the stabilizer blades,
maintaining a full gauge and extending service life. The DEI Stabilizer is intended for

Short body design to facilitate reaming directly at the

bit and placement between bit and the mud motor in
directional applications

Applications
Directional projects where maintaining hole gauge is
expected to be a problem. The DOG Sub will maintain
hole size once the drill bit begins to lose its gauge,
thus reducing or eliminating the need to ream back
to bottom with a directional assembly.
Directional wells where doglegs necessitate a reaming run through the build section. The DOG Sub may
provide the adequate reaming and contact behind the
bit, wiping out the ledges as drilling progresses. A
smoother build section can reduce hole drag and facilitate drilling operations.
Near-bit reaming in a packed hole assembly when
placed directly above the drill bit. Shortening the distance from the bit to the first point of stabilization
improves BHA and drilling performance.

Ezy-Change Type II Rig-Replaceable Sleeve-Type Stabilizer

Integral Blade Stabilizer

This tool is designed around a rugged, one-piece mandrel constructed of high-strength alloy steel with ample tong space
for handling ease and extra length for recutting connections. The rig-replaceable, integral blade sleeves are available in
three types (listed below).

The Integral Blade Stabilizer (IBS) is manufactured from

high strength alloy steel as a single piece tool. The unitized construction features three spiraled ribs designed to
minimize downhole torque, reduce damage to the hole
wall and ensure maximum fluid circulation. The IBS is well
suited for use in most formations from soft and sticky to
hard and abrasive. It is available in both bottom hole and
string designs, providing the flexibility to run it anywhere
in the BHA.

The Ezy-Change Type II is a popular choice for remote areas or where storage problems exist. One mandrel series can
be used for several different hole sizes, reducing the need for a large mandrel inventory on location. The sleeves are
easily changed on the rig floor either when changing hole size or when the sleeves have worn under gauge. This versatility also allows a convenient way to change the type of stabilizer wear surface to match drilling conditions. A simple
plate-type sleeve breaker (available on request) enables easy make-up and breakout.
Features and Benefits
The 17 inch and smaller sleeves feature three spiral blades; four straight blades
for larger sizes
Maximum annular flow area
Multiple hardfacing options
Robust one-piece mandrel design
Ample length for multiple recuts
Applications
Remote or space-constrained locations
Mild to medium packed hole assemblies
Pendulum assemblies
Directional drilling assemblies
Control harmonics and drill collar whipstock

When the blades wear down to an unacceptable diameter, the tool should be removed from the drilling assembly and returned to a Smith Services repair center where
it can usually be redressed to full gauge.

Applications
A packed hole assembly typically requires the placement of multiple IBS stabilizers throughout the three
zones of stabilization. Contact a Smith Services representative for BHA recommendations.
A pendulum assembly is a recommended application
for the IBS due to its unitized design. For the most effective pendulum assembly, two stabilizers should be
run separated by one drill collar.
Vibration and drill collar whipstock can be reduced
through the placement of stabilizers in the BHA and
upper drill collar string.
