Reelwell Drilling Method
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.
Recover more
RDM facilitates access to a substantially increased drainage area due to its extended reach capabilities. The built-in pressure and flow control system reduces formation damage, which increases well productivity.

Drill greener and safer
Increased horizontal reach from existing platforms lessens the need for additional platforms and subsea facilities. The use of clean drilling fluids and improved pressure control increases safety and reduces environmental impact in sensitive areas.

Save time and money
RDM is a tool to avoid common drilling problems, reducing Non Productive Time (NPT) through improved hole cleaning, reduced circulation time and fast and efficient operations.
