OSIRIS DIGITAL DIRECTIONAL MODULE is a new tech directional MWD tool with 27 solid state smart sensors which can survive in harsh drilling environments. OSIRIS DIGITAL DIRECTIONAL MODULE is equipped with 18 accelerometers (6 high range and 12 low range), 3 magnetometers, 3 axis vibration sensors, 2 temperature sensors, and 1 gyro sensor. OSIRIS DIGITAL DIRECTIONAL MODULE offers redundancy features to avoid tripping in case of individual sensor failure.
Ideal for high-gpm whipstock fluctuations without any damage to the pulser. Pulse real-time M/LWD data without any delay to enhance reservoir understanding, target well placement and maximize production. Compass Stepper Pulser is comprised of 3 main sections: Pulser Driver, Oil Fill, and Helix End.Compass Stepper Pulser allows mud-flow to be restricted creating a positive pulse pressure differential in standpipe pressure. It features strong signal amplitude and advanced noise cancellation processing, allowing clear detection at greater depths without interference
The Compass Battery Module uses high-energy Lithium Thionyl Chloride double-D size batteries in a stack of eight with 150° C (302° F), 165° C (329° F), 180° C (356° F) temperature ratings available. The cells are diode protected to prevent reverse power charges, and are protected by a 5 Amp fuse on the power line. The battery pack will run an MWD system for over 150 hours at a standard pulse rate with a Tensor Pulser, and 80 hours with a gamma probe added. With an upgraded Compass Pulser, a battery pack will operate the MWD system for over 450 hours and over 300 hours with an added gamma probe. The design of the system allows for the addition of a second battery pack that will be activated when the power of the first battery drops to a predetermined level to then activate the power draw on the second battery. This allows the operator to place the batteries in various positions in the MWD tool design. This option allows the users to determine the optimum position of the directional module determined by magnetic spacing requirements. The use of flexible finned intermodule connectors allows multiple design options on the MWD system with the standards being to place the pulser on the bottom (required) and the gamma and directional module located at the optimum positions.
Aegeus is the most effective solution for drillstring vibration. Drillstring vibration and shocks are a serious problem, particularly in deep and hard formation drilling; it can reduce the rate of ROP, shorten bit life, and damage expensive downhole components. Aegeus is a superb cost savings tool as ROP is a major determinant for the cost of a well, and vibration is the enemy of ROP. When the bit vibrates, it is not drilling at maximum efficiency, and sometimes not at all.
AJAX Slimhole Directional Module is the best MWD directional tool for slim hole applications enabling operators to make critical sidetracks with greater confidence. AJAX Slimhole Directional Module surveys precisely without any interruption due to a micro-processor based data acquisition system. Easy to carry and mobilize Apollo Slim has a rigid one-piece chassis with 3 magnetometers and 3 accelerometers to measure well geometry accurately. Standard version is temperature rated for 150° C and 20,000 psi pressure ratings but HPHT rating tools (175° C, 25,000 psi) are available upon special request

Oil and gas drilling is a hostile activity. Billions of dollars are lost each year to non-productive time and one of the major contributors is excessive shock and vibration. Shock damping is where we can help. Introduction of SoftRide as part of the bottom hole assembly (BHA) has the potential to reduce non-productive time (NPT), increase the mean time between failures (MTBF) of expensive sensing electronics within the nonmagnetic drill collars, while maintaining retrievability of the entire tool string. SoftRide is cost-effective insurance against the threats of rough drilling environments.
