SmartNAV™
Automated directional guidance systemCollaborative directional guidance platform eliminates variability, increases wellbore placement accuracy and enhances operational visibility.
Automated Guidance
Simple, automated stand-by-stand instructions to deliver the optimal path and achieve the well plan
Consistent Performance
Consistent and scalable implementation of unique directional drilling best practices – across wells, rigs and crews
Operational Transparency
Full transparency and traceability of directional decisions across remote and wellsite users
Rig Integration
On a Nabors SmartRig®, SmartNAV™ integrates seamlessly with SmartSLIDE™ for true remote automated directional operations

Scale directional drilling best practices
The SmartNAV™ application enables fast, consistent and accurate wellbore placement decisions. Set and enforce best practices like no-slide zones, maximum doglegs and acceptable tolerance from plan to achieve consistent directional control across multiple rigs.
Provide a record of performance
Improve operational visibility via a transparent record of decision-making and drilling performance with the SmartNAV™ application. Data-driven reporting integrates well plan information with real-time measurements to understand when and why steering decisions were made.

Enable workflow optimization & collaboration
The SmartNAV™ application provides integrated dashboards and 3D visualizations to effectively manage remote and local operations across multiple wells in real-time. Decision risk is reduced through collaboration tools that allow geosteering teams to directly input plan changes and remote directional drillers to intervene when necessary.
