...) and underbalanced drilling (UBD) have played a vital role to significantly minimize these drilling problems onshore as well as offshore. Since most of the wells being drilled today include measurement-while-drilling (MWD), logging-while-drilling (LWD), and rotary steerable system (RSS) tools, the interface between...

... ABSTRACT: After nearly 30 years of measurement-while-drilling (MWD) operations, the market is still demanding an MWD telemetry system which can reliably operate in real time regardless wellbore hydraulics. The electromagnetic (EM) transmission system transmits downhole data by injecting...

... the measurement while drilling / logging while drilling (MWD/LWD) and rotary steerable system (RSS) packages. This placement ensures proper installation of the activation ball in the underreamer and connectivity of the RSS and MWD/LWD so that directional work can be executed. However, this placement also leaves...

... with underbalanced multiphase foam drilling system. The biggest challenge in this gaseous foam drilling medium is to control the trajectory of the well as the measurement while drilling (MWD) system works through mud pulse telemetry that could only be done in an incompressible drilling fluid. To address this major...

... requirements is critical to the commercial success of any product development exercise. When looking at the functional requirements of any Measurement While Drilling system there are many factors to examine. The first order of business was to understand the requirement of the MWD system itself with regard...

... Abstract It has been well documented that magnetic models and Measurement-while-Drilling (MWD) directional sensors are not free from error. It is for this reason that directional surveys are accompanied by an error model that is used to generate an ellipse of uncertainty (EOU). The directional...

A next generation measurement while drilling MWD tool is developed to take a definitive survey while drilling either rotating or sliding. This has never been possible before where the entire drilling operation had to stop to take...

... than three decades. Based on recent technology developments, their use has now been expanded to the logging while drilling (LWD) environments. Pulsed neutron generators (PNGs) are electronic devices that produce high energy neutrons without the use of traditional chemical sources. Measurements...

... Abstract In the oil and gas drilling process, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) systems are usually used to provide real-time monitoring for the position and orientation of the bottom hole assembly (BHA). The current MWD systems can be categorized into magnetometer-based systems and gyroscope...
