Logging-While-Drilling (LWD)

The economics behind geosteering or high-cost drilling can cost-justify using logging-while-drilling (LWD) sensors to acquire data in real time. Halliburton uses LWD sensors to help direct high-angle and horizontal drilling, and to ensure efficient use of expensive rig time.

Electromagnetic Telemetry (EMT) Service
EMT MWD/LWD system allows data transmission without a continuous fluid column, providing an alternative to negative and positive pulse systems.
InSite IXO Interface
The InSite 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.
