Directional drilling automation
SLIDER TECHNOLOGY
Slider is a proprietary surface system aimed at significantly increasing the efficiency of the down hole motor and the MWD directional system. It includes a hardware and software component that integrates surface and MWD data to provide the following benefits in the sliding mode:
* Increased ROP and reach capability through automatic rocking using torque as an input.
* On-bottom tool face correction through a proprietary torque pulse method in the drillstring.
* Improved well trajectory through a step-change in tool face correction while on-bottom.
* Increased motor life as stalling is significantly decreased (practically eliminated).
* Eliminates orientation time losses through on-bottom
transition from rotating to sliding.
