MWD/LWD Services

We employ sophisticated Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools in both Electromagentic (EM) and/or Mudpulse (MP) configurations to optimise up-hole telemetry speeds given differing geological environments.

With the ability to select appropriate tooling for any given environment, clients are able to optimise productivity by allowing real time data to be used on-the-fly, reducing down time and maximising 'bit-on-bottom' drilling time.

Our MWD tooling uses high quality Tensor sensor units and allows for high quality data in harsh drilling environments. The Tensor Tri-Axial accelerometer measures three orthogonal axes of inclination (Gx, Gy, Gz) - three of these accelerometers are used to make up the inclinometer that outputs the surveyed inclination. The Tensor Tri-Axial magnetometer measures three orthogonal axes or magnetic bearing (Bx, By, Bz) - these units have a wide operating range of +/- 100,000nT. The magnetometer outputs the surveyed azimuth reading.


                                       


Our range of EM and MP tools are designed to be fully retrievable for running in collar sizes from 3-1/8" up to 9-7/8" OD, and can be setup to run with flow rates over 1000gpm.

An option on selected models includes tooling configuration to run near bit gamma, inclination and resistivity outputs. These optimise the geo-steering capabilities from data captured directly from the bit.

With the EM tool's stackable battery configuration (in addition to downlink hibernation capability) and the down hole turbine's function which allows for illumination when the need for a battery arises, the tooling is designed to run the entire duration that it takes to complete a well.
