What is NexTitan?
NexTitan is an autonomous downhole drive system. It senses and responds to drilling conditions right at the bit. It adds controlled and consistent weight on bit and makes adjustments in real time. As a result NexTitan mitigates stick-slip, bit bounce, pipe buckling, torsional vibrations, and whirl so you can drill smoothly and continuously in hard rock or longer laterals.
Key Functionality
Solve problems faster than from the rig floor
NexTitan senses dysfunction at the bit, corrects it in real time, and adapts its response as conditions change.
Key features
Hydraulically powered, with multiple electronic control modes. Set target rate of penetration (ROP), weight on bit (WOB), constant torque, differential pressure, and more.
Compatible with your existing bottom hole assembly (BHA) and standard drilling tools. Run it standalone or connect it to other tools with controller area network (CAN) bus.
Designed to learn: performance repeats across a basin and cost per well keeps dropping.
Has three built-in failsafes that collapse the tool to a neutral position.

Differentiation
NexTitan: the only tool of its kind
Not just a damper
Dampers react after dysfunction starts. NexTitan prevents it from starting.
Not just a blind thruster
Thrusters push with fixed force. NexTitan controls it, push and pull, as the rock changes.
Not just a tractor
Tractors help move the BHA but have limited power. NexTitan can drive the BHA with controlled force of +30k lbf.
