To you, “trip” can be a four-letter word
Especially when it’s due to an MWD failure in the field. We hate tripping too. So we came up with a solution tailored just for you.
You’re used to drilling with either mud pulse or EM (electromagnetic) technology. While mud pulse is both proven and reliable, it takes more time to get readings to surface, slowing down the drilling process. EM is faster and more efficient, but higher resistance formations absorb the signal, making it, at times, impossible to get surveys.
You can stop swearing
To switch between mud pulse and EM when you’re downhole normally requires tripping. Well, it used to. We figured there had to be an easier way to get the job done.
With the Dual Telemetry MWD system (patent pending), you can switch between EM and mud pulse technology without tripping.
It’s flexible. The Dual telemetry MWD system gives you the ability to maximize speed using EM technology where the formation allows, and convert to mud pulse when required – without tripping. Switching between EM and mud pulse can be done in less than eight minutes.
It’s the only dual telemetry system of its kind that’s both retrievable and reseatable. Simply put, if you’re stuck in the hole, our equipment can be brought out - saving the cost of replacement.
It’s fast. Using EM technology allows us to transmit data to the surface four times faster than with standard mud pulse, allowing you to drill quickly and save money.
And reliable. Using existing MWD technology means proven reliability and reduced chances for failures downhole.
It’s efficient. Running 400 hours on a single battery (compared to 150-hour life spans for standard mud pulse systems), we give you the longer run times you need through a more efficient use of energy.
It’s cost-effective. Batteries are a huge operating expense with MWD. Longer battery life can result in lower operating costs for you.
It’s accurate. Extra care and attention to our operating systems, combined with using EM technology, means we’re able to drill with more precision to hit the target.
And it’s robust. You need tough equipment to tackle the downhole environment. The Dual Telemetry MWD system has been designed to withstand high vibration and high temperatures.
Last but not least, it’s compatible. With gamma and focused gamma, enabling us to monitor the formation while drilling.
