Rhino Reamer Applications

Simultaneous Drilling and Hole Enlargement

Rotary Steerable
Directional Drilling Adjustable Stabilizer Conventional Hole Enlargement

Rhino Reamer Features

Hole Quality
Cutter blocks deploy simultaneously producing a concentric, full gauge, high quality wellbore The balanced mass design eliminates vibration detrimental to electronic components

Rhino Reamer Features

High Flow Capability
Accommodates flow rates required to adequately clean the enlarged hole section Accommodates fluid requirements of steerable systems and directional assemblies

Enables optimized fluid distribution to the bit and cutter blocks for improved hole cleaning

Rhino Reamer Features

Cutter Block Technology
Large cutting structure

Integral stabilizer pad centralizes the cutting structure and prevents side cutting PDC cutters provide wear resistance and the ability to drill a wide range of formations
Backreaming capability

Rhino Reamer Cutter Technology

Rhino Reamer Cutters
Primary and Secondary diamond table

High diamond density (HDD) technology enhances abrasion resistance

Reduces stress level and enhances impact resistance

Secondary diamond table increases diamond volume and durability

Rhino Reamer Features

Toughness
Cutter blocks integrate the cutting structure and extension mechanism into a single piece Tongue and groove actuation system traverses the cutter blocks to a preselected diameter and hydraulically secures them in place Single piece body design increases tensile and torque load capability

Rhino Reamer Features

Hydraulics
Cutter blocks are hydraulically actuated using system differential pressure Pressure indication at surface indicates when cutter blocks are fully deployed Drilling weight is not utilized for cutter block actuation Cutter blocks collapse when pumps are turned off

Rhino Reamer Additional Features and Benefits

Jet nozzles travel with the cutter blocks to ensure optimum cleaning Employs a cutter block lock up system that internally restricts fluid from acting on the cutter blocks allowing for shoe track drilling

Rhino Reamer Specifications

Lock-out Device
Ball Drop Method

When in closed (pinned) position:

Used for shoe track drill outs Locks shear pin piston in place Flow ports do not align No flow allowed to Rhino Reamer piston Rhino Reamer cutters cannot actuate

A detailed hydraulic analysis must be performed prior to the job.

Rhino Reamer Closed

Lock-out Device
Ball Drop Method

When Sheared:
Pins shear at predetermined values based on material or number of pins Shear pin piston moves to align flow ports Fluid flow is allowed to act on Rhino Reamer piston Cutters actuate

Pre-job Planning and Preparation

Pre-job planning is vital to the successful deployment of the tool
Accurate hydraulic requirements of the tools above and below the Rhino Reamer is critical Pre-job hydraulic and BHA analyses should be verified and agreed upon by Smith Services, the customer and other relevant service companies Job data sheet requirement Lockout mechanism shear pin test prior to shipping tools to location
