Halliburton iCruise Intelligent Rotary Steerable System (RSS),

Nowadays the big oil companies need to drill faster, which asks for drilling system that can
steer accurately through high-angle wellbores in one direction and achieve target depth on
time and on cost basis, which is the most important thing. The iCruise system provides the
best mechanical properties available with 400 RPM and up to 18 degrees/100 ft dogleg
capabilities to drill fast and with maximum efficiency and safety.
The iCruise's modular concept can be customized to drill a long lateral or to improve
precision in formations where the well direction changes quickly. Directability and cutting
performance can be further enhanced by coupling the new Halliburton GeoTech (GTi) drill
bit to the iCruise system.
The iCruise intelligent RSS is imbedded with automated drilling advice controls built on
physical models and artificial learning.

-Advisory pilot commands help plan a the well trajectory, optimize the well trajectory, and
avoid hazards and collisions.
-The vibration guidance commands allow for optimization of the speed range of rotation.
"Halliburton has designed a rotary steerable system that integrates sophisticated sensors
and electronics, advanced algorithms and a high-speed processor to help operators position
wells more accurately, minimize drilling time and help maximize asset recovery," said Lamar
Duhon, vice president of Sperry Drilling. "The unit can also guide decisions about drilling
settings, vibration mitigation and maintenance to enhance dependability."
Operators have used the iCruise system in many basins around the world, particularly in
North America and the Middle East. In North America, iCruise assisted an operator in drilling
over a mile into a complex reservoir while geo-orienting in a 30-foot productive area. The
system maintained the wellbore 100% in the reservoir, minimizing time and enhancing
recovery.
