About

Marc Haci is a leading innovator in directional drilling technology, with a focused expertise in improving the efficiency and precision of downhole operations. His most significant contribution is the development of Slider, a novel surface-only technology that deploys a small robot to interface with the top drive control system. This innovation directly addresses the critical challenge of sliding to make trajectory corrections using a mud motor and measurement while drilling (MWD) system. Haci’s seminal 2005 paper, "Field Proof of the New Sliding Technology for Directional Drilling," which has garnered 34 citations, provides the foundational proof of concept for this approach. By automating and optimizing the sliding process, his work has enabled more accurate wellbore placement, reduced non-productive time, and lowered operational risks. This technology represents a major step forward in making directional drilling more reliable and cost-effective, demonstrating Haci’s impact on practical field applications. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical drilling mechanics and real-world operational solutions.
