HyperSteer™ Directional Drill Bits
Drilling a curve and lateral on a rotary steerable system (RSS) tool requires a highly steerable bit to meet dogleg severity requirements. Simultaneously, the bit should be stable at higher rates of penetration (ROP) to minimize harmful shocks and vibrations when drilling the lateral. HyperSteer drill bits address both challenges by reducing makeup length to maintain sufficient gauge length. Reduced makeup length allows the RSS to transfer more force to the drill bit for increased side cutting and higher build rates, while the gauge length provides stability in the lateral especially when ROP is increased.
