Rotary steerable system remains the development focus of current drilling technology. It is essential for China’s unconventional Oil and Gas development. This paper outlines the research and development history, classification, development status of the rotary steerable system, and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of different systems. Moreover, the prospects of the intelligent RSS technology is explored, and the outlook for the future development of the steerable drilling technology is presented.
