Truly Unconventional
Kinetic has redefined rotary steerable systems
Kinetic challenges Big 3 dependence with automation-ready architecture, unique patented steering technology, and an independent approach built on decades of Rotary Steerable System innovation.
What makes Kontour different?
Patented Steering System
Unlike traditional “point-the-bit” or “push-the-bit” designs, Kontour’s electro-mechanical, geometric steering mechanism delivers precise, continuous control of well trajectory, enabling smooth wellbores and execution of complex directional profiles without any dependence on rig hydraulics.
One-Run — VERTICAL, CURVE & LATERAL
Eliminate unnecessary trips with full vertical, curve, and lateral drilling in a single run—saving time and cutting costs.
Adaptive Steering Intelligence
Kontour steering adapts to formation changes in real time, delivering hands-free control of inclination and azimuth.
High-Dogleg Precision Steering
True proportional dogleg control from 0 up to 17°/100 ft, and everywhere in between, enables tighter curves even when drilling in challenging formations – even soft formations with high hole enlargement.
No Limits, No Compromises
Kontour runs without restrictions on drilling parameters: RPM, GPM, or LCM—giving your team maximum operational flexibility to optimize drilling performance and the ability to perform in drilling conditions where other tools struggle.
Kontour was built to withstand temperatures as high as 350°F (175°C) and through its unique design footprint will allow the temperature rating to be improved.
Field-Ready, Fast to Deploy, Rig-Serviceable
Kontour’s simple, hydraulic-free design requires no complex clean-room rebuilds and can be serviced quickly at the rig or any basic mud motor shop. Fewer tools, lower cost, simpler logistics per project.
CHOOSE INDEPENDENCE.
Compete With
the Big 3
Three companies control the RSS market — and operators pay for it in price, lead times, and locked-in ecosystems.
Kinetic delivers a true independent alternative — field-serviceable, built on transparent partnerships, and powered by technology unlike anything else available today.

our product ecosystem
An Integrated Downhole Platform
Every product in the Kinetic ecosystem is designed to work together, independently, and always with your existing equipment. From automated rotary steering to wireless downhole communications and BHA dysfunction mitigation, our platform gives drilling engineers the tools they need to drill faster, smoother, and with fewer constraints than any Big 3 alternative. We perform in high-solids/LCM and low-GPM “low flow” conditions where other tools can’t.
Patented proportional rotary steerable with industry-leading dogleg capability and automated steering modes.
Wireless downhole communication built around the DrillComm Hub and a network of nodes — universal MWD compatibility with 200+ ft range.
Stabilization technology that decouples bending moments, dampens vibration, and improves directional control for both RSS and motor BHAs.
Bridges any LWD, MWD, or DDS tool into the DrillComm Network — extending our communication backbone to the full BHA. Customizable for independent use in your MWD system.
Kinetic-trained crews running Kinetic technology end-to-end — with real-time data integration for independent DD providers and their own MWD and steerable motor systems, plus full BHA supply for complete directional services.
Geometric steering today. Geologic autonomy tomorrow. Kinetic is laying the open path to fully autonomous well placement.
