High-Speed Drillstring Telemetry Network Enables New Real-Time Drilling and Measurement Technologies

摘要

A real-time,bi-directional,drill string telemetry network has been proven reliable over the course of seventeen field trial wells,including seven wells within the U.S.The network has demonstrated simultaneous upward and downward data rates of up to 57,000 bits per second,with reliability comparable to current mud pulse telemetry technology.
