PowerPulse MWD Telemetry System
Continuous mud wave telemetry

PowerPulse MWD telemetry system establishes the benchmark for reliability and data transmission rates. Continuous mud wave telemetry achieves unprecedented data transmission rates of 6 to 16 bits per second.

There is continuous monitoring of inclination and azimuth. Additional measurements include a downhole shock counter, an optional gamma ray sensor, an optional downhole weight on bit and torque sub, and an optional four-axis vibration measurement.

Achieve increased signal-to-noise ratios with Schlumberger-patented, zero-gap modulators. The improved transmission quality minimizes the effects of drilling pumps, motors, and other rig associated noise sources.

A downlink function allows the MWD system to be configured downhole. Data frames are selected downhole to meet the changing needs of drilling and logging programs. The signal frequency is varied downhole so the tool works at all depths, regardless of mud type.

Used with our LWD services, the PowerPulse service gives you real-time formation evaluation while drilling. Acquire true geosteering capabilities by integrating the PowerPulse system with resistivity and nuclear measurements from VISION and geoVISION services and iSONIC geophysical measurements.
