6-3/4-in. AutoTrak G3 HT-175 RCLS
Building on the success of the most
technologically advanced Rotary Closed Loop
System (RCLS), the AutoTrak™ G3 HT-175
RCLS encompasses the latest levels of
MWD/LWD development in a rugged modular
design and able to work in high-temperature
environment up to 347°F (175°C). This
system opens new opportunities in all aspects
of directional drilling, including both
geosteering and extended reach applications.
The steering head can automatically steer
itself during continuous rotation of the drill
string with changes to the well trajectory
communicated to the tool from surface while
drilling ahead. Near to Bit Directional,
Azimuthal Gamma Ray, Multiple Propagation
Resistivity, real time pressure and vibration
measurements are included in the AutoTrak
G3 HT-175 System. Data transmission is
reliable and simple without the need to stop
drilling for sending and receiving commands.
This significantly reduces the NPT associated
with directional drilling.
The AutoTrak G3 HT-175 System is currently
drilling complex 3D profiles ensuring a high
borehole quality in thousands of applications
around the world, saving money, and
increasing production rates. The AutoTrak G3
HT-175 innovative design takes into account
all the challenges present in the most
demanding rotary-steerable and LWD
applications for reliable operations and
reduced NPT. Our proprietary multiplepropagation resistivity sensor design provides
the most accurate measurements in the
industry. The AutoTrak G3 HT-175 Service
combines an integrated sensor section with a
downhole power and communications module
and the Advantage™ surface system to
deliver optimal directional control, accurate
formation evaluation, and information to
enable reservoir navigation.
Features
Benefits
Ability to be deployed in high-temperature
environment
Reliable drilling technologies withstand
excessive temperature and reduces the risk of
failure downhole
Automated steering mechanism that creates a
continuous steer force
Eliminates the need of correction runs, or the
sliding time associated with mud motors

vibration sensors in the MWD unit
Improves reservoir navigation with precise
target intersections for longer BHA runs with
complete control of drilling dysfunctions
Steering mechanism independent of hydraulic
parameters such as flow rate, mud weight,
and mud properties
Reduces total time on well by optimizing
hydraulic parameters for improving rate of
penetration
Compatibility with the Baker Hughes large and
diverse fleet of high-power mud motors.
Improves rate of penetration by minimizing
drilling dysfunctions.
