Core offering

ProDirectional provides directional drilling services and downhole tool rental to oil and gas operators, supplying MWD (measurement-while-drilling) systems, mud motors, and engineered downhole tools alongside field crews for horizontal and lateral wellbore placement. The company also delivers coring services, wellbore surveying, and remote geosteering/monitoring through its 24/7 Guide ROC operations center.

Product overview

ProDirectional offers a comprehensive integrated directional drilling platform combining proprietary MWD (Measurement While Drilling) systems, high-performance mud motors, and remote operations support. The core ADAPT MWD ecosystem includes multiple specialized MWD tool families: Sprint MWD for high-speed telemetry, Octane and OctaneXT for high-temperature environments, GeoSight360 for azimuthal gamma imaging, Force PWD for pressure monitoring, Pro ShockStop for vibration protection, and EM MWD for wireless telemetry. These systems are complemented by ProPower mud motors featuring ProFlex and ProFlex Titanium transmissions, alongside coring services powered by CoreSight technology and the Jam Isolation System. All operations are supported by the Guide ROC remote operations center providing 24/7 real-time monitoring and geosteering support. The product architecture enables operators to select and configure integrated solutions matched to specific well requirements, from standard directional drilling to ultra-deep high-temperature wells and extended-reach laterals.

Products and services

• ADAPT MWD Configurable, high-data-rate measurement-while-drilling platform used by E&P operators and drilling contractors to acquire downhole survey, gamma, and directional data on horizontal and lateral wells.
• Sprint MWD High-speed MWD variant within the ADAPT platform, optimized for fast tripping and slim-hole / high-RPM performance for operators drilling laterals.
• Octane & OctaneXT MWD High-pressure / high-temperature MWD tool designed for harsh downhole environments in deep, hot wells, sold to operators needing rated-downhole directional telemetry.
• EM MWD Electromagnetic (non-pulsed) MWD telemetry alternative used where mud-pulse telemetry is restricted, supplied to operators in lost-circulation or specific formation applications.
• ProPower Mud Motors Downhole mud motor product line used to rotate drill bits in directional sections; configurable with ProFlex and ProFlex Titanium power sections for specific torque/flow regimes.
• ProFlex & ProFlex Titanium Transmissions Proprietary power sections (drivetrain / elastomer stators) installed in ProPower mud motors, including a titanium stator option for higher-temperature durability; sold/rented as motor components.
• GeoSight360 Geosteering service that integrates gamma, resistivity, and directional data with surface geologists to keep laterals in the target zone for E&P operators.
• Force PWD Pressure-while-drilling (PWD) tool providing real-time annular pressure data for operators managing downhole pressures and lost-circulation risk.
• Pro ShockStop Downhole shock mitigation tool that protects BHA components and improves drilling efficiency in harsh lateral sections.
• Jam Isolation System Proprietary downhole isolation tool used to isolate stuck-pipe or jammed intervals and continue drilling, reducing NPT for operators.
• Survey Management Wellbore survey management and reporting service for operators, providing organized directional surveys, BHA records, and post-well documentation.
• MWD Tool Rental Rental of MWD and downhole tool fleet to operators and drilling contractors that need short-term directional tool capacity without purchase.
• Mud Motor Selection Engineering service that selects and configures mud motors and power sections for specific wellbore profiles, delivered to operators as part of motor rentals.
• ProCoring Services Coring services using CoreSight downhole core gamma and orientation tool, providing oriented core samples and formation data to operators.
