Rotary Steerable System (RSS)  

Rotary Steerable System (RSS) is an advanced technology used in directional drilling that allows the wellbore trajectory to be controlled while the drill string rotates continuously. Unlike traditional methods, which require stopping the rotation of the drill string to adjust the direction, RSS allows the desired trajectory to be diverted or maintained without interrupting the rotary motion, improving efficiency and accuracy.

RSS Components and Operation:

 

• Real-time Directional Control: Allows you to adjust the direction and angle of the drill precisely, which is essential for drilling wells with complex trajectories such as horizontal or deviated wells.

​​

• Better Rate of Penetration (ROP): By maintaining constant rotation of the drill string, RSS improves drilling efficiency, increasing the rate of penetration and reducing the time required to reach the desired depth.

​​

• Less Wear On Tools: By avoiding the process of intermittent sliding and rotation, wear on the drilling tools and the string is reduced, which extends the useful life of the equipment.

​​

• More Efficient Drilling: It allows you to continuously adjust the direction of the well without stopping the drilling process, resulting in greater operational efficiency and more precise control of the well trajectory.

​​

In short, RSS allows you to drill more accurately and efficiently, achieving greater directional control while maintaining constant rotation, which reduces operating times and costs in complex drilling projects.
