Russia’s new oil drilling system draws interest from Arab countries
The Institute of Strength and Materials Science at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Siberian Branch in Tomsk and the Luch plant in Novosibirsk have developed Russia’s first rotary steerable system for inclined and horizontal drilling in oil production. Svetlana Buyakova, one of the institute’s executives, said Arab countries had shown interest in the system.
A new drilling system developed for oil production in Russia has drawn interest from Arab countries. The system was jointly developed by the Institute of Strength and Materials Science at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Siberian Branch in Tomsk and the Luch plant in Novosibirsk.
Svetlana Buyakova, one of the institute’s executives, said Russia’s first rotary steerable system in this field would be used for inclined and horizontal drilling. The technology was designed to enable the drilling of wells that deviate significantly from the vertical axis.
Reducing dependence on imports in oil technology
According to Buyakova, the need that emerged after Schlumberger, Halliburton and other major oil services companies left the Russian market influenced the system’s development.
Following the departure of these companies, access to modern technologies used to extract hydrocarbons from low-saturation reservoirs was cut off. Buyakova said Russia had previously been 100 percent dependent on imports for the equipment needed to develop complex reservoirs and drill wells with a high deviation from the vertical.
Production of Russian-made systems has begun at the Luch plant in Novosibirsk.
