Everything Rotates
“Everything rotates” is the key differentiator for all Schlumberger Rotary Steerable Systems
Key advantages of the PowerDrive family design principles are:-
- can ream, back-ream and drill out shoe tracks
- has no annular restrictions
- minimises risk of differential sticking and lost in hole
- has no stationary anchor limiting ROP

Why PowerDrive Archer?
???
PowerDrive Archer Applications
Kick off from vertical and/or drill high DLS curves
(0-15°/100 ft) in soft or hard formations
Drill lateral/tangent sections in closed loop IH mode
Steer through hard/soft inter bedded stringers
OH sidetracking
Vertical hold
PowerDrive Archer Features and Benefits
Increases bit on bottom time by versatile directional capability:• KO, delivering consistent and reliable DLS
• Deliver any type of well path in soft/hard formations
• Open hole sidetracking
• Penetrate hard layers
Unique Hybrid Steering
• Internal pads and higher operating parameter ensures higher reliability
• Near bit GR/D&I for better well placement
• Modular compactness for ease of transport and servicing
Driller’s Tool
• Improved footage per day
• Reduced LIH risks
• Better bore hole quality
• No annular restrictions, can back ream
Fully Rotating
