IXO Interface
Get more information from your reservoir
The IXO Interface from Sperry Drilling services provides two-way communication between downhole LWD sensors and the surface at speeds up to 10,000X faster than current mud pulse telemetry rates. The IXO Interface is the link that connects the Sperry LWD system to NOV's IntelliServ® Network.
The IntelliServ Network is built upon the IntelliPipe® system, the industry's first commercial high-bandwidth wired drill string. The IXO Interface translates information so it can be streamed between the surface and downhole via the IntelliServ Network. All of the LWD sensor readings and diagnostic data that to date have been stored in the tool's memory (due to limitations in current mud pulse telemetry data rates) are now available in real time, at even higher resolution.
