D-Tech Rotary Steerable, the #1 independent provider of rotary steerable tools, combines a fit-for-purpose design with multiple technical advancements—such as real-time telemetry, high-speed, and high-temperature capabilities—to provide a more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution. While not a service company, D-Tech works directly with operators and directional drilling companies to improve their performance and reduce NPT with a less complex, more accurate solution. Empowering customers to make the best decisions, D-Tech collaborates throughout the drilling operations lifecycle to ensure the best system to meet challenges in virtually all environments. Drilling operations are only as good as the crew and tools, which is why D-Tech offers comprehensive training and 24/7 support from remote real-time centers to further optimize performance and efficiency. Benefits - Expedites well delivery with higher torque and rotational speed capability & enhanced automated steering - Increases reliability through streamlined, robust design, experiences less damage, and stays downhole longer - Minimizes costs, NPT, and risks with real-time drilling capabilities & no surface programming - Enhances wellbore placement accuracy - Expands BHA design flexibility with universal plug-and-play system Tool Functionality - Push-the-bit tool - Full 3D directional control with build, drop, and turn - Everything rotates, reduces friction and lost-in-hole risk - Drills Intermediate, vertical, curve, and laterals - Holds inclination and azimuth through downlink commands - Closed loop control of inclination and azimuth Principles of Operation - Steering section uses six hydraulically operated pistons to push against the wellbore and steer in the opposite direction - Pistons achieve their force by diverting 5 to 7% of the drilling fluid into the steering chambers - Nonmagnetic collar contains an electronic control system with a six-axis accelerometer/magnetometer package
