Smarter Directional Drilling: Technologies Driving Efficiency, Precision, and Insight

Wednesday, 18 March
Grand Ballroom C
Technical Session
Join us for a dynamic session showcasing the latest innovations transforming directional drilling.
Discover how advanced technologies are improving well placement, drilling efficiency, and subsurface insight. Topics include the use of wellbore tortuosity to optimize frac design and enhance production, applications of self-steering rotary steerable systems, and strategies for remote directional execution. Presenters will share insights on 3D deep resistivity imaging for near-wellbore geological interpretation, access-independent active magnetic ranging, and the impact of MWD mud pulse telemetry on RSS performance. Case studies feature record-setting motorized RSS deployments in North American horizontal wells and offshore applications integrating advanced positioning and geosteering technologies for sustainable well construction.
