Overview
Until now, your fields and formations defined how far—and how fast—you could drill. In high-temperature, harsh environments, drilling dysfunction, tool damage, and unnecessary, costly trips often made even high-value reservoirs uneconomical. That’s no longer the case.
The TRU-Steer™ ultimate rotary steerable service from Baker Hughes is designed to help you drill with confidence in extreme drilling conditions, while unlocking more of your field’s true production potential. Built to perform where conventional drilling systems struggle, this service delivers predictable, peak drilling performance in any well.
Save days. Produce more
The TRU-Steer service offers an evolutionary new design that raises the bar on well delivery efficiency. It tackles drilling dysfunction at the source, protecting the entire bottomhole assembly—not just the rotary steerable system. By neutralizing damaging vibrations and instability before they escalate, you can eliminate nonproductive time, reduce days on well, and push farther without worrying about unexpected failures. The result is a higher rate of penetration (ROP) and consistent performance, even in challenging formations.
To further optimize drilling performance, the service incorporates the PermaForce-TRU™ PDC drill bit, engineered specifically for rotary steerable applications. With a first-of-its-kind shankless matrix design and advanced cutter technology, this bit enhances steering response, extends run life, and reduces the risk of bit damage—helping you drill at higher ROP while drilling longer intervals with confidence.
Ensure more precise well placement, every time
Accurate wellbore trajectory control is critical when reservoir targets are tight and margins are thin. The TRU-Steer service uses advanced wellbore trajectory control along with calibrated directional sensors that automatically correct and self-position. You stay in the zone, achieve precise well placement, and get a smoother wellbore with less tortuosity, reduced drag, and fewer limitations on lateral length.
Unlock more reservoirs
The TRU-Steer service incorporates a ruggedized system for harsh environments, with the ability to neutralize drilling dysfunction at the source for reliable drilling performance in harsh environments. It also features Baker Hughes multichip modules (MCMs) rated up to 175°C (347°F) and a high-temperature measurement-while-drilling and telemetry system designed to tolerate lost circulation materials (LCMs).
The service is compatible with the Baker Hughes suite of formation evaluation, reservoir mapping, and navigation services to support confident decisions while drilling.
Break free from traditional limits and reach more reservoirs that matter.
