Transform drilling intelligence with Retina™ at-bit imaging system

High-resolution borehole imaging, directly at the drill bit

Unlock unmatched formation insight—while you drill

Retina at-bit imaging system revolutionizes the way operators capture subsurface data. Unlike traditional methods, Retina system delivers high-frequency formation imagery directly at the bit, providing clarity that enhances operational decisions, improves well planning, and boosts ROI—without interrupting drilling workflows.

At-bit imaging

Capture dips, fractures, facies, and textures right at the drill bit, even in the harshest formations.

Seamless integration

Deploy without disrupting existing operations—no additional runs or BHA modifications required.

Proactive formation characterization

Identify formation features before borehole damage occurs, improving geological models and reducing uncertainty.

How Retina imaging works

Here's how Retina system turns raw cutter force data into actionable geological insight—without interrupting your drilling operations.

Custom sensor integration

High-resolution sensors embedded in PDC bits measure cutter forces at the bit face.

Advanced signal processing

Data is recorded and converted into high-resolution borehole images—usable even with hole sizes >9 in [228.6 mm].

Geology-aligned workflows

Outputs integrate directly into standard geological and petrophysical interpretation workflows.
