D-Tech’s Rotary Steerable System (RST) combines a robust, next-generation design with technical advancements, emphasizing simplicity, durability, and precision. Engineered for ruggedness, the tool supports hole sizes from 5-7 inches to 18.25 inches (excluding 11 inches) and operates at 0.5-degree resolution.

Key features:

• Minimal moving parts for enhanced durability and extended downhole operation.
• Operates through a series of short downlinks that can be completed while drilling, saving time.
• Closed-loop control and power systems ensuring reliability for extended hours, with tools recording over 50 variables, transmitting up to eight to the surface.
• Enhanced inclination and azimuth software and higher RPM capabilities improve wellbore quality and drilling performance.
• Universal plug-and-play system is compatible with virtually any bit, motor, MWD/LWD sensor, fluid system, etc.
• Fast tool turnaround times and comprehensive post-run reporting.
• Easy tool to operate in the field with no excessive preprogramming and/or wiper trips.
• High-pressure (up to 20,000 psi) and high-temperature (up to 302°F) capability.
• Proprietary 'rock design' feature in their RSS tools, using a mechanical locking system to reduce shock and vibration.
• Predictive maintenance and failure analysis supported by internal algorithms and proactive monitoring setups.

The D-Tech rotary steerable tool has always been known for its robust and easily repaired tool, but the company has driven additional technical advancements over the last few years to provide improved overall performance and reliability benefits.

• Full 3D directional control with build, drop, and turn capabilities for precise wellbore placement.
• Incorporates proprietary software platform, increasing inclination and azimuthal control while decreasing wellbore tortuosity and improving ROP with optimized steering results.
• Enhanced electronics and sensor package provides additional communications capabilities and data to accurately and effectively place the wellbore as desired.
• Upgraded hydraulics, pistons, and software improves communications, longevity, and performance.
• Proprietary "rock design" feature with a mechanical locking system reduces shock and vibration, with a streamlined design featuring only 10-12 moving parts.
• Advanced algorithms and test setups support predictive maintenance and failure analysis to minimize downtime.
• Tools can be tailored for specific applications, accommodating hole sizes from 5-7 inches to 18.25 inches (excluding 11 inches).
• Hydraulically actuated tools powered by drilling fluid eliminate the need for batteries, easing transportation and reducing failure points.

D-Tech understands that drilling high-performing wells requires more than technology. To further improve performance and avoid NPT, an experienced onsite D-Tech technician and 24/7 remote support are available when tools are downhole. A post-run report and analysis to maximize performance on future jobs is also provided.

D-Tech’s Rotary Steerable System (RSS) streamlined design, with only 10 moving parts without any connections, is designed for diverse and challenging directional drilling applications across the global market since it was developed to eliminate as many failure points as possible.

• Motor-Assisted Operations: Predominantly used in motor-assisted configurations, enabling superior performance in long lateral sections, with 99% of runs in the US land market utilizing this setup.
• Cement Tolerance: Handles high cement concentrations (up to 50 lbs/bbl while drilling, 100 lbs/bbl during pull-out).
• Extended Durability: Capable of long-duration runs, with a record of 564 hours.
• Shock and Vibration Mitigation: Features a proprietary "rock design" with a mechanical locking system to enhance stability.
• Drilling Versatility: Effective in intermediate, vertical, curve, and lateral sections in both onshore and offshore environments.
• Global Success: Proven in all major North American basins and on virtually every continent.
• Wide Range of Hole Sizes: Covers sizes from 5-7 inches to 18.25 inches, excluding 11 inches, with models tailored to specific ranges
