SmartNAV™
Automated directional guidance systemCollaborative directional guidance platform eliminates variability, increases wellbore placement accuracy and enhances operational visibility.
Automated Guidance
Simple, automated stand-by-stand instructions to deliver the optimal path and achieve the well plan
Consistent Performance
Consistent and scalable implementation of unique directional drilling best practices – across wells, rigs and crews
Operational Transparency
Full transparency and traceability of directional decisions across remote and wellsite users
Rig Integration
On a Nabors SmartRig®, SmartNAV™ integrates seamlessly with SmartSLIDE™ for true remote automated directional operations
Elevate Directional Drilling Operations with SmartNAV™
Scale directional drilling best practices
The SmartNAV™ application enables fast, consistent and accurate wellbore placement decisions. Set and enforce best practices like no-slide zones, maximum doglegs and acceptable tolerance from plan to achieve consistent directional control across multiple rigs.
Provide a record of performance
Improve operational visibility via a transparent record of decision-making and drilling performance with the SmartNAV™ application. Data-driven reporting integrates well plan information with real-time measurements to understand when and why steering decisions were made.
Enable workflow optimization & collaboration
The SmartNAV™ application provides integrated dashboards and 3D visualizations to effectively manage remote and local operations across multiple wells in real-time. Decision risk is reduced through collaboration tools that allow geosteering teams to directly input plan changes and remote directional drillers to intervene when necessary.
Automation of Directional Drilling Decision-Making Process
Definition of target window and tolerances
Stay on target and minimize slide drilling while referencing tolerance from plan and geosteering changes
Digitalization of best practices and steering rules
Automation ensures standardized application of formation-specific best practices across rigs, wells and crews
Decision traceability and visibility, remotely and on location
Ensure accountability and consistency through transparent communication and collaboration tools
Simple stand-by-stand
