9 1/2" AutoTrak G3 RCLS


Building on the success of the most technologically advanced
Rotary Closed Loop System (RCLS), the AutoTrak G3 RCLS 9 1/2" AutoTrak G3 RCLS
encompasses the latest levels of MWD/LWD development in a
rugged modular design. This third generation system opens new
opportunities in all aspects of directional drilling, including both
2.4 ft Stop
geosteering and extended reach applications. The system has the (0.7 m) Sub
unique capability to automatically steer precisely to target using

Power & Communication Module


continuous closed loop control. Changes to well trajectory or other
downhole programming are efficiently communicated from 12.1 ft
(3.7 m)
surface without interruption to the drilling process.
Near to Bit Directional, Azimuthal Gamma Ray, Multiple
Propagation Resistivity, real time pressure and vibration
measurements are included in the AutoTrak G3 System.
