RADD (Remote Access Directional Drilling)

Phoenix is the industry leader in remote drilling applications and was one of the first service providers to drill a well where directional decisions are determined by personnel who are not located at the rig. RADD utilizes dedicated wireless telecommunication on technology in the field to transmit the details of multiple jobs to staff located in a central command centre.

Innovative Technology

Job monitoring, decoding and directional inputs can now take place at one central location.

Personnel can simultaneously supervise multiple drilling projects, reducing the number of people required at the rig site of each well.

Field systems can be controlled and re-designed over the link, and well progress is available 24-hours a day.

Phoenix’s proprietary CLT EM-MWD system in combination with electronic drilling recorder data are used to make steering decisions.

Direct Benefits

Increases quality control through centralization.

Minimizes the safety risks associated with personnel at the rig site.

Significant cost savings result from reduced personnel charges, including travel and subsistence charges.
