9 1/2" VertiTrak System

The INTEQ VertiTrakTM system is an automated system for
drilling vertical wells, delivering reliable control in multiple 9 1/2" VertiTrak System
applications ranging from salt drilling to faulted zones and highly-
fractured formations without compromising preferred drilling
parameters.

The VertiTrak system incorporates a new, high performance power

section and pad steering technology (like the AutoTrak® system).

VertiTrak is designed to drill a vertical wellpath without the need

of string rotation, leading to

„ low tortuosity of the borehole

„ reduces risk of twist-off
„ minimized torque and drag
„ stick-slip avoidance minimal BHA and casing wear 9 1/2” X-treme
Power Section

In addition to optimizing the wellpath and reducing the overall

drilling costs, VertiTrak delivers improved penetration rates due to
the integrated X-treme® power section. Three different power
sections are available: low speed, medium speed and high speed
for applications with roller cone, PDC and impregnated bits.

Tool Description
The VertiTrak system combines the INTEQ X-treme power section
with a modified bearing assembly consisting of expandable ribs
engineered to counteract the natural building tendency of the
formation. The steering force is produced by hydraulic oil
pressure, generated by an integrated turbine driven oil pump. The
digital downhole electronics measures any deviation from vertical
and automatically adjusts the individual rib pressures to correct the
course. The measured inclination and other relevant data are Steering
transmitted to surface by using a positive mud pulser. Unit Steering Ribs
