Telescopic micro-laterals enable penetration up to 4 times a single length.
Directional control of the drilling assembly will enable micro-laterals to be steered precisely towards the required target.

On-board instrumentation package and point-the-bit directional drilling capability.
Smallest diameter: currently 2.0” (50mm) assembly, soon to be less than 1.0” (25mm).
Real time azimuth and inclination sensors for accurate position awareness.
Real time directional control using electrical or hydraulic actuator.

Time-saving, innovative technology aimed specifically at the utility and fibre optic communications industry.

Novel adaptive mesh technology, developed by Imperial College London, provides high resolution, high accuracy characterisation of Octopus multi-lateral completions.
Imperial College’s Data Science Institute, founded by Professor Yike Guo, allows large-scale visualisation of reservoir "Big Data". This makes it easy to see and understand complex, multidimensional relationships and processes.
Imperial college’s IC-FERST model has been validated against industry standard fixed-mesh models.
