Kinetic solutions meet you where you are
Purpose-built combinations of Kinetic technology and services that solve the drilling challenges unique to your role — whether you’re an operator driving down cost per foot, a directional drilling company competing for the next bid, or an MWD/LWD provider protecting equipment in tougher wells.
Kinetic’s open architecture means you’re never locked into a single vendor or a one-size-fits-all bundle.
We assemble the right mix of rotary steerable, downhole communications, BHA dysfunction isolation, and directional drilling services for your specific program — and integrate with the tools and partners you already trust.
The result: precision drilling outcomes without the overhead of a Big 3 service contract or the compromises of piecing things together yourself.
Solutions Built Around Your Business
What you need from Kinetic depends on your seat at the wellsite — the economics you answer for, the bids you compete on, the fleet you protect. These solutions are organized by role, so you can go straight to what changes for you.
You set the drilling program. We give you the tools — and the flexibility — to run it your way. No proprietary ecosystems, no vendor-mandated BHA configurations, no captive service model.
We help you:
- Lower the cost-per-foot on high-DLS unconventional laterals
- Diversify away from single-vendor dependence
- Protect your M/LWD investment in long, high-vibration laterals
- Build toward autonomous drilling without a Big 3 black box
The Big 3 own the captive RSS market. Most independents don’t. Kinetic changes that — with electromechanical tools that are serviceable in your shop, run on the MWD fleet you already own, and deliver capabilities you can sell to your operators.
We help you:
- Win RSS bids against Big 3 without their cost structure
- Deploy RSS tools across any MWD in your fleet
- Differentiate your service offering with capabilities Big 3 sell as premium
- Scale without clean-room facilities or proprietary tooling investments
TeleConnect™ extends the DrillComm™ Network to third-party LWD, MWD, and directional drilling services tools. Your technology reaches Kinetic-equipped BHAs across multiple operators and basins — without being captive to any single ecosystem.
We help you:
- Extend your tool beyond any single MWD vendor’s ecosystem
- Reach operators who are adopting Kinetic
- Future-proof your tool for closed-loop autonomous BHAs
Solutions TO take on YOUR HARDEST WELLS
Every well brings its own fight: heat and pressure, hydraulics constraints, demanding trajectories, and the vibration that wrecks tools and wellbores. These solutions start from the downhole condition — and show how Kinetic technology is engineered to beat it.
Heat and pressure are where conventional RSS reliability falls off a cliff — seals harden, electronics drift, and runs get cut short to protect the BHA. Kontour was engineered from the metal up for downhole extremes: ultra-slow electromechanical actuation, all-metal mud-cooled bearings, and fewer than 300 components rated to 175°C.
We help you:
- Drill hot intervals on a 175°C / 350°F rated steering envelope
- Hold reliability at depth — no pressure-sensitive hydraulic actuation
- Run full programs without de-rating or pulling tools early
- Change bearings at the rig — no clean-room rebuild after a hot run
Every hydraulically actuated RSS taxes your hydraulics program — a minimum flow rate to actuate, LCM limits to protect its ports, and mud specification limits to avoid erosion of parts. Kontour’s electromechanical steering is independent of your flow loop, so you set flow rate, mud, and RPM by what the well needs — not what the tool tolerates.
We help you:
- Steer at low flow rates with no minimum-flow threshold
- Pump the LCM the loss zone demands — no ports to plug
- Drill at high RPM and WOB with no tool-imposed cap
- Optimize hydraulics for the well, not the steering tool
- Consistently steer at any and all well depths
Shock, vibration, and HFTO destroy RSS electronics, fatigue the BHA, and roughen the wellbore. Kinetic attacks the problem at the source — K-Pivot decouples the bit and RSS from your sensitive tools, while proportional steering lays down a smoother, lower-tortuosity wellbore.
We help you:
- Protect M/LWD electronics from shock, vibration, and HFTO
- Decouple the bit and RSS from the upper BHA with K-Pivot
- Cut tortuosity for easier casing runs and completions
- Improve the hole without de-rating ROP
Tight curves, full vertical-curve-lateral profiles, long laterals, and narrow anti-collision windows demand continuous, proportional control — not the on/off cycling of conventional steering. Kontour delivers true proportional dogleg from 0° to 17°/100 ft and drills the whole well path in a single run.
We help you:
- Build high-DLS curves up to 17°/100 ft, smoothly
- Drill vertical, curve, and lateral in a single BHA run
- Hold directional control deep into extended-reach laterals
- Steer tight anti-collision windows on congested pads
