About
The DSSD technology of Canopus is a balanced combination of erosion drilling with steel shot and mechanical Polycrystalline Diamond Cutter (PDC) bit drilling. On top of the excellent drill rate performance in any rock type, Canopus developed a low power steering method that does not reduce drill rate. The mechanical forces on the DSSD drill bit are much lower than required for conventional PDC-drilling, enabling the construction of highly productive reservoir sections that are longer and may include multiple branches (multilaterals). The DSSD technology has been verified by TNO at the Rijswijk Centre for Sustainable Geo-Energy.
