Award for Drilling Excellence, Northeast 2013
Awarded to: Baker Hughes
Oil & Gas Awards Judges Comments
“Baker Hughes featured their development of the AutoTrak Curve rotary steerable drilling system, an advanced drilling solution. This best in class drilling system allows the driller to build a tighter curve approaching an industry leading 15 degrees of pitch for every 100 feet drilled, allowing up to 750’ of additional horizontal leg in the target horizon. This steerable system when paired with Baker’s custom bits has improved accuracy, longer down-hole life, and a high rate of penetration; all leading to improved economics and lower trip-associated safety risk. Outstanding actual results from Marcellus Shale extended reach horizontal wells drilled using this system were cited.”
“The development of the field proven Auto Track Curve Rotary Steerable System is an innovation that benefits the entire drilling industry. “Faster, better cheaper” is always a goal of the industry and Baker Hughes has met that goal.”
