Halliburton Introduces Automated Drilling Telemetry Service
Published on : 2019-11-17
Halliburton Company released QuickPulse™ Automated Directional Gamma Service,
a new measurement while drilling (MWD) technology, that
provides quick and reliable downhole information at extended depths to deliver
wells faster. This capability helps operators drill longer laterals, make
improved geosteering decisions and reduce well time to maximize their asset
value.
The QuickPulse system combines directional, vibration and gamma
ray sensors with a strong transmission signal that overcomes most downhole
interference. The system automatically prioritizes critical vibration, tool
face and downhole inclination measurements enabling rapid drilling decisions.
It transmits data in intervals as fast as three seconds and full survey
measurements in as little as 24 seconds.
“As operators drill longer laterals, obtaining quality data at
greater depths can be difficult because of noise and interference,” said
Lamar Duhon, vice president of Sperry Drilling. “We designed the
QuickPulse system with advanced sensors that detect and automatically transmit
data so operators can drill faster and more accurately.”
The system also has a small footprint for up to 70 percent
faster rig-up time and the fully automated signal detection helps increase rig
efficiency.
In Canada, QuickPulse recently helped an operator reduce
connection time by 30 percent due to faster survey transmission. In the Bakken
formation, another operator reported a significant increase in sliding
efficiency and delivered the wells below their targeted cycle time.
