Bench Tree’s HPR Integrated MWD/LWD System
Helping Customer Drill First Well in Harsh Latin American Environment
A leading provider of technologies and differentiated services was contracted to help an operator drill an exploratory well in a harsh environment in Latin America. To ensure they would complete the well within the time frame and in the sweet spot, they needed a robust all-in-one formation evaluation tool that would record the most accurate gamma ray, resistivity, and survey measurements possible.
The customer partnered with the Bench Tree team because of their outstanding record of providing technologies with reliable, accurate data. They used Bench Tree’s 4 ¾-in HPR Integrated MWD/LWD system, which combines the high-precision resistivity and short string measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools, while optimizing the bottomhole assembly to 48 feet for the collar, base tool, and battery sub.
The well, which was the first completed in this area, was drilled in 28 days and seven runs, despite harsh environmental conditions. The data from Bench Tree’s HPR Integrated solution allowed all parties to receive the necessary information at the surface quickly so appropriate real-time decisions could be made.
Bench Tree is excited to announce the launch of their Gamma-ST module, now available throughout the globe. The 175°C gamma solution offers customers dependable gamma measurements at a new low price. Through the use of Bench Tree’s PCBA design and manufacturing process, the Gamma module can extend battery life downhole and increase reliability. Temperature- and vibration-induced counts are a thing of the past when utilizing the Bench Tree Gamma module. The 15.40-in. chassis is designed as a drop-in replacement for all standard MWD systems. When run with Bench Tree’s 3D-I module and m+ Pulser, it can be configured into a short String MWD system, with all electronics housed in one pressure barrel, eliminating the need for multiple field-mated connectors.
As we celebrate 20 years of helping the oil and gas industry make better wells, we're hosting an Anniversary Celebration Luau. Join the Bench Tree team on Thursday, November 16, noon to 4 p.m., at B52 Brewery (12470 Milroy Lane, Conroe, TX 77304) for food, drinks, Polynesian entertainment, and networking.
