The RDM Technology
The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) is a new solution for drilling exploration and production wells. RDM enables drilling of well sections with challenging pressure conditions and drilling to targets beyond conventional reach.
RDM solutions are OTC Spotlight Award winners 2009, 2010 and 2011, ONS Innovator Award winner 2010, and DnB NOR regional Innovation Award winner 2011.
| HOW DOES IT WORK? | WHEN TO USE RDM | FUNTIONALITY AND SAFETY | ||
| The RDM is based on the use of a dual drill string. The cuttings are brought to surface through the inner string, whereas conventional solutions use the well annulus for the same purpose. | Operators can use RDM to access reservoirs that until now were considered challenging or even impossible to drill conventionally. | How is well control handled when using RDM? Is the Bottom Hole Assembly different from conventional solutions? Get answers to these and other questions in the Q&A section. | ||
