High-Temperature MWD Technology: Octane and OctaneXT MWD Systems

Octane and OctaneXT MWD Systems

Choose the Right MWD Technology for Your Thermal Environment

No matter how harsh your drilling environment is, we have the right MWD solution. While Sprint MWD is optimized for high speed data transmission in standard to moderate temperature wells, ProDirectional’s Octane and OctaneXT MWD systems are engineered to perform in extreme high temperature drilling environments where conventional MWD tools cannot survive.

TAILORED TO YOUR WELL

Octane MWD:
High-Temperature Reliability for Directional Drilling

  • Performance: Provides consistent Measurement While Drilling (MWD) service in high-temperature directional drilling environments up to 175°C (347°F).

  • Best For: Standard high-temperature MWD applications and lateral wells where signal strength, data reliability, and tool durability are critical to maintaining drilling performance and staying on schedule.

OctaneXT MWD
Extreme-Temperature Measurement While Drilling

  • Performance: Delivers high-temperature Measurement While Drilling (MWD) service for the most hostile downhole environments, rated up to 200°C (392°F).

  • Best For: Ultra-deep, high-pressure directional drilling where conventional MWD tools often fail. OctaneXT is engineered to ensure continuous data transmission and telemetry stability even through the hottest drilling intervals.

MWD Technology designed and maintained to meet demanding duty cycles

Protect critical
electronics


We ensure every part and component used in our MWD assemblies meets our strict engineering specifications.

Minimize
complexity


We use these components to maintain our to like-new condition based on comprehensive lifecycle tracking of assembly hours and usage.

Ensure reliable and
repeatable performance


Our analytical procedures screen for potential concerns and allow us to rework components that don’t pass our pre-deployment standards.

Drastically increase
downhole success

Before tools are sent to the field, we use established protocols to monitor tool health metrics as we run the MWD string components through proprietary evaluation procedures.

FAQs

What are Octane and OctaneXT MWD systems?

Octane and OctaneXT are rugged MWD systems built by ProDirectional to operate reliably in the most extreme drilling conditions. Octane is rated up to 175 °C while OctaneXT can handle temperatures up to 195 °C.

These systems deliver stability in high temperature wells ProDirectional has drilled more U.S. wells above 320 °F than any other provider, ensuring strong performance in the harshest conditions.

Octane systems include proprietary shock and vibration mitigation, simplified component architecture, rigorous maintenance, and pre deployment evaluation protocols to ensure consistent tool readiness.

In one run, OctaneXT remained active for 184 hours with 146 hours of circulation while withstanding temperatures around 374 °F demonstrating durability in extreme lateral drilling.

You can rely on Octane systems due to the combination of extensive field experience, in house engineering, and a history of successful deployments in settings that challenge other tools.
