Short MWD Mud Pulse Telemetry System

The system’s high-speed mud pulse transmission allows users to leave the legacy platform and reduce the need for expensive EM and dual-telemetry systems with limited depth capability. Reliability is improved by eliminating many of the failure points found in other systems. For instance, the 3D-I, m+ Pulser and gamma all fit in one standard directional module pressure housing. The system also has 95% fewer field-mated connectors and less wiring than legacy systems.
