Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS) have revolutionized the way that oilfield operators drill wells. The advantages of drilling with this technology are documented and have been proven in a wide variety of drilling applications. Utilizing a rotary steerable system allows E&P companies to push the drilling envelope by providing access to more complex plays. The efficiency and reliability of the system also contributes to an overall reduction in lifting costs.1 The advantages of using RSS are highlighted in Fig. 1.
