Direct V is fully automatic, electro mechanical, and has a closed loop system with a configureable +/- .2° inclination accuracy threshold that allows the moveable hydraulic stabilizers to expand and to redirect the path to vertical.
- Save money; more cost effective than a MWD motor configuration
- Automatically corrects drift
- Steerable hole means less hole friction, less stuck drill strings
- Improved hole cleaning
- 4 battery packs, 300 hours
- Easier casing runs, due to less tortuous holes
- Stays within extremely tight targets
- Higher ROP – continuous rotation increase ROP over sliding with motor
- Unlimited mud capability; where some chemicals and muds attack motor stators
- More accurate directional control, sensors are close to bit, no motor tool face windup, the DCT can make directional corrections in a timelier manner than a person
- Drills wells fasstet, with more weight on bit, without need for feathering or correction slides
- No need for expensive mud motor
- Can be run independently or used with any mud motor
- Compatible with all survey tools and MWD systems – although MWD system not required
- Low cost to operate; 50% lower part count than competing systems
- Simple and rugged design
- Mud lube bearings
- Mud flow is straight through center shaft eliminating loss of ability to circulate mud
- High LCM compatible, mud bleed into tool for control is filtered both mechanically and centrifugally to minimize chance of LCM plugging up the works
- Control system and bearing system are both seal free and work well in oil based mud
- Control system needs minimum 400 psi bit pressure to drop to operate
Fail safe mode for the tool’s steering devices retract and tool becomes .25° under gauge packed hole assembly
Vertex Downhole Ltd.
Vertex Downhole, was started in 2011 by a group of established industry experts, driven to develop the next generation of MWD tools. Starting with a Pulser and a field ready Tool Kit, the product line quickly expanded. Today, Vertex is a leader in oilfield technology companies, designing advanced solutions, including proprietary software, a straight hole drift correction tool, as well as a pumps-on-survey tool. Since inception, the company has expanded from Calgary to Houston and West Texas, and services tools and technologies in Canada, the United States, China and Europe.
Vertex Downhole is an integrated oil and gas service company with a product base uniquely geared to support down hole drilling. The overall company focus is to increase efficiencies for companies by integrating all tools; from the drilling rig to the drill bit. The combination of technical knowledge and management expertise ensures that the quality of the work and the client experience is never compromised.
