Rhino RHE

DUAL-REAMER RATHOLE

ELIMINATION SYSTEM i-DRILL system design ensures reamer placement does not interfere with RSS directional capabilities.

Dual-reamer system enlarges rathole, avoids a run, and saves 16 hours on a deepwater rig.

Rhino RHE rathole elimination system enlarged 178 ft of rathole while drilling a deepwater well in the

Gulf of Mexico, saving 16 hours of rig time. The Rhino RHE system’s dual-reamer process uses a hydraulically actuated reamer positioned above the MLWD tools to open the pilot hole and an on-demand reamer located near the bit to enlarge the rathole. The dual-reamer system eliminated a dedicated rathole cleanout run.
