| Halliburton and Grant Prideco combine technologies Sperry Drilling Services, a brand of Halliburton's Drilling and Formation Evaluation division, and IntelliServ Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Grant Prideco, have interfaced their technologies and successfully tested a system using The IntelliServ Network drill string telemetry to transfer all the data and information generated by downhole drilling and formation evaluation tools to the surface in real time, at rates up to 10,000 times those available today. Utilization of The IntelliServ Network, which is fully compatible with Sperry's INSITE logging-while-drilling services, offers new drilling and formation evaluation capabilities, including the transmission of high-resolution images of the subsurface in real time. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
