Teledrill recently completed its 7th well trial and accomplished several milestones with its Rate of Penetration Enhancement drilling tool that also delivers MWD (Measurement While Drilling) information with a Gamma Ray detector. Those milestones were:
Encoding and Decoding MWD/Gamma Ray information in real time with its own proprietary encoding scheme.
Successful correlation of its Gamma Ray log with Open Hole log Gamma Ray logs done by an independent logger.
Several successful wireline trips in and out of the hole, thus proving its retrievability consistently.
Reliability testing of the turbine, instrumentation, and pulsing/ROP system was proven as the tool was still functioning perfectly after 3 days in the hole.
