Patented Technology
Radial Drilling Services holds proprietary patents protecting the innovations that have made RDS the undisputed world leader in radial drilling technology.
Engineering the Future of Well Enhancement
Radial Drilling Services, Inc. is a global service company based in Houston, Texas USA with regional offices in major activity areas across the globe. RDS is intensely committed to Research and Development to meet customer demands and fight production decline.
Radial Drilling is an efficient EOR method to optimize production in oil and gas wells. Four 100-meter laterals can be jetted in any one horizon in vertical and highly deviated wells — getting you increased access to your reservoir.
Unlike fracking, material is removed from the formation creating an open 2" OD channel up to 100 meters (300 feet) in length. Radial Drilling is highly versatile technology with a range of applications from well enhancement to frac replacement.
Our Patent Portfolio
Lateral Jet Drilling System
The foundational patent covering the RDS lateral jet drilling system — the method and apparatus for creating radial channels from a wellbore using high-pressure fluid jetting technology.
Coiled Tubing Directional System
Patented directional control system for coiled tubing operations, enabling precise steering of the jetting assembly to target specific reservoir zones with accuracy.
SureFrac™ Frac-Less Stimulation
The SureFrac™ patent protects RDS's proprietary method of directing hydraulic fracture treatments precisely where the operator demands — eliminating the need for conventional fracking.
H.O.S.S.™ Heavy Oil Steam System
The H.O.S.S.™ patent covers the Heavy Oil Steam System — a breakthrough method for injecting steam through radial laterals to dramatically improve recovery from heavy oil reservoirs.
Well Rehabilitation Lateral System
Patented system for rehabilitating marginal and shut-in wells through the creation of new drainage channels, restoring production without costly workovers or re-completions.
Gyro Orienting & Survey System
Proprietary gyroscopic orienting and borehole survey system enabling precise placement of radial laterals in any azimuthal direction, including in casing with no magnetic reference.
Relentless Innovation
RDS is intensely committed to Research and Development to meet customer demands and fight production decline. Our engineering team continuously advances the science of radial drilling — from nozzle design and fluid dynamics to downhole telemetry and real-time monitoring — ensuring RDS technology remains decades ahead of the competition.
