GeoTap® IDS Sensor

Fluid sampling and identification on LWD

HP/HT ButtonNow you can obtain fluid samples while drilling your well. Only available on wireline before, formation fluid sampling is now possible using LWD technology. The GeoTap® IDS sensor revolutionizes the industry by allowing downhole capture, identification and surface recovery of representative fluid samples on LWD. Built on the acclaimed GeoTap® formation pressure tester platform, the GeoTap IDS sensor delivers real-time reservoir characterization and helps eliminate the time and cost of wireline sampling.
