Today operators need to efficiently and reliably drill longer laterals faster which requires a drilling system that can steer accurately through high-angle wellbores in one run and achieve target depth on time and on budget. The iCruise system provides the highest mechanical specifications available with 400 RPM and up to 18 degrees/100 ft dogleg capabilities to drill fast and with greater accuracy.
The product’s modular design can be configured to drill a long lateral or to increase accuracy in formations where well trajectory changes rapidly. Steerability and cutting efficiency can be further improved by matching the new Halliburton GeoTech drill bit with the iCruise system.
“Halliburton has engineered a rotary steerable system that incorporates advanced sensors and electronics, sophisticated algorithms and high-speed processors to help operators place wells more accurately, reduce well time and maximize asset value,” Lamar Duhon, Vice President of Sperry Drilling, said. “The system can also guide decisions around drilling parameters, vibration mitigation and maintenance to improve reliability.”
Operators have deployed the iCruise system in multiple basins around the world including in North America and the Middle East. In North America, the product helped an operator drill more than one mile in a complex reservoir while geosteering through a 30 ft productive zone. The system maintained the wellbore 100% in the reservoir reducing time and maximizing recovery.
Controlling the direction and deviation of the wellbore while drilling is essential for achieving the planned well trajectory and hitting the target on time and on budget. In today’s drilling environment, operators are looking for ways to drill longer laterals faster to lower costs per BOE. The iCruise™ intelligent rotary steerable system (RSS) is automation-enabled for precise steering and accurate well placement, helping operators to reduce well time through faster drilling, reliable performance, and predictable results.
HIGH MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS ENABLE FASTER DRILLING
Simple and rugged, the iCruise intelligent RSS is engineered with some of the highest mechanical specifications on the market, helping operators reduce well time and maximize the rate of penetration (ROP) in unconventionals, mature fields, and deepwater environments. The modular bottomhole assembly (BHA) can be configured to drill a long lateral section fast, or to drill a vertical, curve, and lateral in a single run.
MODERN ELECTRONICS ALLOW FOR ACCURATE STEERING AND IMPROVED RELIABILITY
The iCruise intelligent RSS is designed with the newest smart technology to enable accurate well placement and complex downhole calculations. The RSS can accurately steer the well up to 400 RPM while measuring the tool face 1,000 times per second. Sophisticated algorithms and proprietary digital control electronics for self-diagnostics and self-prognostics monitor the health of the equipment in real time, thus increasing reliability by minimizing repair time and errors, and allowing for fast tool turnarounds. The RSS is matched with the GeoTech® (GTi) drill bit, engineered in Direction by Design® (DxD) software to predict the side-cutting efficiency (SCE) of the bit for improved steerability and drilling performance.
AUTOMATED DRILLING DELIVERS PREDICTABLE RESULTS
The iCruise intelligent RSS is integrated with automated drilling advisory commands based on physics-based models, a BHA digital twin, and machine learning from real-time data analytics: » Steering advisory commands help plan and project the well path, optimize wellbore trajectory, and avoid hazards and collisions » Vibration advisory commands advise on optimal RPM ranges to manage downhole vibration and allow for better directional control

GeoTech® (GTi) Drill Bits
The Halliburton Drill Bits and Services has engineered PDC drill bits to maximize performance with the iCruise™ intelligent rotary steerable system (RSS). Rotary steerable tools have unique operating principles that require specific bit designs to achieve performance at the highest level. Halliburton simulates each GeoTech® (GTi) bit in Direction by Design® (DxD) software to match the bit to the iCruise RSS. This analysis software has been specifically tuned for the iCruise RSS and is backed by countless tests on both the component and system levels to deliver the GTi line of drill bits.
