In 2025, ProDirectional reached a milestone that few directional drilling organizations ever achieve. 9 million + feet drilled in the Permian Basin in a single year.
This number represents far more than total footage. It represents thousands of hours of real time drilling decisions, millions of data points analyzed, and a level of operational control that only comes from disciplined engineering and execution. It reflects the strength of our systems, the reliability of our technology, and the consistency of our crews who deliver results across full drilling programs.
ProDirectional has always been built around one core principle. Directional drilling should be predictable, controlled, and engineered. That foundation is what allowed us to scale our operations while maintaining performance across one of the most demanding drilling environments in the world.
What 9 Million+ Feet Represents
In the modern Permian Basin, drilling is no longer about individual wells. It is about multi pad development, long laterals, aggressive drilling schedules, and strict performance targets that must be met consistently. Operators are no longer evaluating service companies based on a single curve or a single run. They are measuring how a drilling partner performs across entire programs.
Drilling 9 million + feet in one year means ProDirectional systems were trusted across a massive number of rigs, pads, and development projects. It means our rotary steerable systems, mud motors, MWD platforms, and engineering workflows were deployed at scale while maintaining precise wellbore placement and predictable downhole behavior. That kind of volume is only possible when performance is repeatable.
Real Time Drilling Intelligence
Every foot drilled by ProDirectional is supported by real time data, monitoring, and engineering oversight. Our True Remote Operations platform connects field crews, MWD specialists, and engineers in a single operational environment where drilling performance is constantly evaluated and adjusted.
Key parameters such as torque, RPM, differential pressure, vibration, toolface behavior, and trajectory are monitored continuously. When conditions change downhole, the system sees it immediately. When performance starts to drift, corrections are made before it becomes a costly issue. This is how ProDirectional protects consistency across hundreds of wells while still pushing performance forward.
Integrated RSS and Mud Motor Systems
ProDirectional’s drilling performance is driven by the integration of rotary steerable systems and engineered mud motor platforms. This approach allows our teams to select the optimal tool for each section of the well without sacrificing control.
Our power sections, elastomer systems, transmission designs, and BHA configurations are developed to function as a single system. They are not off the shelf assemblies. They are engineered for high torque capacity, stable RPM, and predictable differential pressure behavior under load. When RSS tools are deployed, they are supported by motor and powertrain designs that allow them to operate efficiently. When motors are used, they are backed by engineering oversight that ensures performance stays within design limits.
In House Engineering and Quality Control
A major reason ProDirectional can sustain this level of performance is our in house engineering capability. Our teams design, analyze, and refine every part of the drilling system, from power sections and transmissions to BHA configurations and RSS integration.
Every run generates data that feeds directly back into our engineering workflows. That data is used to refine elastomer selection, torque curves, vibration control, and tool reliability. Instead of reacting to failures, we engineer them out of the system.
Built for Full Program Performance
Drilling 9 million+ feet in a single year is not about isolated success. It is about delivering performance across full drilling programs with minimal variability. ProDirectional’s operational model is designed to support that level of scale.
Our remote operations, in house engineering, integrated RSS and motor platforms, and disciplined field execution allow us to provide predictable outcomes even as well complexity increases. This is why operators continue to rely on ProDirectional when performance, consistency, and wellbore quality matter.
Thank You to Our Customers and Crews
This milestone was made possible by the operators who trusted ProDirectional with their wells and the teams who executed every run. Directional drillers, MWD specialists, engineers, technicians, and operations personnel all played a role in delivering 9 million+ feet of controlled, high performance drilling in the Permian Basin.
Their focus on precision, data, and discipline is what turns technology into real results.
Looking Ahead
As drilling programs continue to demand longer laterals, tighter drilling windows, and faster execution, ProDirectional will keep investing in the systems that make consistency possible. That includes deeper real time intelligence, stronger RSS and motor integration, and even more engineering driven control across every well.
9 million + feet is not an endpoint. It is proof of what engineered drilling can achieve.
