The premium offering of the Geo-Pilot® fleet, the Geo-Pilot Dirigo Sperry Drilling services’ Geo-Pilot Dirigo rotary steerable system
system offers gun-barrel hole quality, higher dogleg output, is the only rotary steerable system for big holes that can deliver
improved tripability, improved vertical drilling capability, cruise well profiles previously only possible with motors, but with the
control function, and was engineered for enhanced reliability. wellbore quality and higher rates of penetration of a point-the-bit
rotary steerable system.
This newest member of the Pilot™ fleet of automated drilling
systems delivers high performance under the toughest of Benefits
conditions and has an enhanced dogleg capability for drilling • Build rates up to 10 degrees/100 feet in larger hole sizes and up
wells where high build rates are required, or where soft to 15 degrees/100 feet in smaller hole sizes
formations typically limit build-rate capability when using other • Reduce drilling time—drill the vertical, curve, and lateral
rotary steerable systems. When drilling through interbedded in one BHA, with no sliding intervals or added trips for
formations, where the rock can alternate between soft and quite downhole motors
hard, the Geo-Pilot Dirigo system delivers a more consistent • Kick-off deeper and land in the reservoir sooner, increasing
