AutoTrak® Rotary Closed Loop Drilling System (RCLS)

INTEQ's AutoTrak System is the industry's most advanced directional drilling system. With a downhole guidance system, formation evaluation sensors and two-way communication to the surface, the AutoTrak system improves performance and reduces risk in deepwater drilling applications. The AutoTrak system has been used to drill more than 20 million ft of hole in complex and extended reach wells.

How does the AutoTrak system reduce risk?

• High Daily Drilling Operation Costs
• Proven significant time saving


• Unstable, Time Dependent Formation
• Proven High Gross ROP & Trouble Free Completion


• Weak Formation
• Proven Consistent Performance in Weak Formation


• Pressure Sensitive Formation & Complex Pressure Profile
• Proven High Quality Hole, Continuous Hole Cleaning, Improved ECD control


• Increased Round Trip Time
• Proven more footage per BHA - single BHA runs from Casing Shoe to Casing Shoe

The AutoTrak system has already been used in a number of deep water drilling applications bringing significant savings and reducing operational risk to the operators. Areas where the AutoTrak system has been used in deep water wells are Angola, Brazil, and Gulf of Mexico.
