reelwell options HYDRAULIC WOB
HYDRAULIC WOB 

The sliding piston is inserted as part of the drill string, isolating well bore fluids. Hydraulic pressure behind the piston pushes the bit forward.

  • The solution is independent of gravity, and allows for extended horizontal reach.
reelwell options HEAVY OVER LIGHT
HEAVY OVER LIGHT

The Reelwell Multi Gradient Drilling System (RMGS) allows for use of a high density passive fluid in the wellbore annulus and a lighter active circulating fluid - “heavy over light”.

  • Benefits include safer drilling operation, fewer casing strings and increased horizontal reach.

reelwell options LINER DRILLING
LINER DRILLING 

The liner is transported to the end of the section by means of the drill string.

  • Simultaneous drilling and insertion of liner enables isolation of problem zones.
reelwell options TELEMETRY SYSTEM
TELEMETRY SYSTEM

Using the dual drill string as a coaxial cable, the Reelwell Telemetry System (RTS) enables two-way high speed data communication to downhole MWD/LWD tools.

  • Real time downhole data is important for safe and precise drilling and provides the opportunity for geosteering.
