Sprint MWD:
High-Speed Pulse Telemetry and Advanced MWD Tools

DON’T CHOOSE BETWEEN MWD RELIABILITY AND SPEED OF DATA TRANSMISSION

ProDirectional’s Sprint MWD eliminates the trade off between high speed pulse telemetry and rugged MWD reliability. Because we drill oil and gas wells ourselves, we have first hand knowledge of the downhole drilling challenges in basins like the Permian and Haynesville.

We have used that operational experience to engineer a suite of MWD tools that simplifies field setup, maximizes rate of penetration (ROP), and delivers the real time drilling data accuracy required to virtually eliminate non productive time (NPT).

GET PEACE OF MIND WITH MINIMIZED NPT AND SPRINT MWD RELIABILITY

Sprint MWD is engineered with simplicity in mind, using minimal components to drastically reduce overall complexity and decrease potential failure points. Our proprietary OptiPulse technology optimizes communication protocols to produce clear pulse signatures that significantly reduce decoding errors in high-speed MWD telemetry

In addition, we apply the industry’s most stringent repair and maintenance standards to ensure our MWD tools are always fit for duty. Every Sprint MWD system is backed by detailed performance and specification sheets that document telemetry rates, temperature limits, pressure ratings, and tool tolerances so operators can validate tool selection and run parameters before going in hole.

Receive MWD Data at Rates Up to 8 Bits Per Second

The extreme speed of our pulse telemetry allows operators to perform surveys in under 28 seconds, significantly reducing flat time. Additionally, Sprint MWD provides continuous inclination and azimuth at near-survey quality for precise well placement and enhanced steerability.

Through custom data compression, our MWD tools transmit calculated surveys, 6-axis raw surveys, continuous measurements, and azimuthal gamma rays at significantly increased data density rates.

PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE ENGINES & DATA ANALYTICS

At ProDirectional, our proprietary software platforms are built specifically to support MWD telemetry, survey processing, and real-time drilling analytics across all operating environments. Our software engineers develop systems that continuously collect and analyze data from every Sprint MWD, Octane, and OctaneXT high-temperature MWD tool in the field, allowing us to track tool performance, service history, repair cycles, and operating limits with precision.

These analytics engines also monitor pulse telemetry quality, survey reliability, temperature exposure, and drilling dynamics in real time, giving our engineers and Remote Operations Center immediate visibility into downhole conditions. This allows us to detect issues early, protect electronics in high-temperature wells, improve data quality, and reduce non-productive time while maintaining consistent wellbore accuracy and steering performance.

By combining live MWD data, historical tool analytics, and automated diagnostics, our software ensures every Sprint, Octane, and OctaneXT run is optimized for speed, reliability, and drilling efficiency, from standard wells to extreme-temperature applications.
