When the characteristics of the job call for EM telemetry, we can reliably meet your requirements
In some drilling applications, EM MWD is a better choice than mud pulse telemetry in order to maximize performance and telemeter data to the surface. ProDirectional has invested in industry-leading EM technology that provides exceptionally accurate downhole measurements, even in challenging drilling environments in order to minimize non-productive time.
While mud pulse telemetry has a proven performance in many applications, electromagnetic MWD is a more effective choice in certain geographies and applications. ProDirectional’s EM MWD is best when you’re drilling in the following conditions:
Air or mist drilling fluid environments
Heavily underbalanced applications that utilize aerated mud
Extremely high lost circulation material (LCM) drilling conditions
FAQs
What is EM MWD?
EM MWD is ProDirectional’s electromagnetic telemetry system designed for challenging drilling environments. It provides accurate downhole measurements when mud pulse telemetry is not effective.
When is EM MWD a better choice than mud pulse telemetry?
EM MWD is preferred in air or mist drilling, heavily underbalanced operations using aerated mud, and wells with lost circulation material where mud pulse telemetry cannot perform.
What measurements does EM MWD provide?
EM MWD provides real time data such as inclination, azimuth, and gamma, giving operators the information they need to make accurate drilling decisions.
What are the benefits of using EM MWD?
The benefits include faster data transmission in certain conditions, reliable communication when conventional systems fail, and reduced reliance on mud pumps to send signals.
How does ProDirectional ensure EM MWD tool reliability?
ProDirectional applies strict quality control, digital lifecycle tracking, and proactive maintenance on every EM MWD tool to ensure consistent field readiness and dependable performance.
