Stop using an MWD that robs your hydraulic horsepower and only gives you 1 bps. You think that valve is good for your BHA? It’s constantly stalling your motor and drill bit — and it’s definitely not an “agitator for your BHA.”
We have the upgrade. MESH™ — EM-primary, Pulse-backup (dormant), decoded at surface typically at 4–24 bps with 32 bps peak. No moving parts in the flow path when EM is primary. Your motor and drill bit health improves, leading to longer runs, higher VCL success, and fewer BHAs per well.
Keep the geologist happy with higher gamma density. You’re crushing ROP, but your MWD has limited data rates to surface. No longer. Save time with surveys and downlinking during the connection, rather than waiting until pumps resume and compromising with some kind of “some survey info and toolfaces mixed in” so you can resume drilling. Ask your DD provider to update their speed… oh wait they can’t — they don’t own their technology, they only own the asset they bought off the shelf.
Stop compromising. Level up.
It’s physics. To talk to surface, a Pulse system drops a valve into the flow path and chokes it down to make a pressure wave. That valve doesn’t care about the rest of your BHA — and the rest of your BHA pays the bill. The motor loses hydraulic HP. The bit loses hydraulic HP.
It only gets worse on the tougher wells. Longer laterals add drillstring, and you add friction reduction tools to mitigate. To squeeze that beloved 1 bps pressure pulse through the FRT, your DD provider chokes the valve even tighter — and the BHA pays again. The reach you bought the friction reducers for? You pay for it twice.
MESH™ takes the valve out of the flow path for as much of the well as possible. EM-primary, Pulse dormant as backup. Zero moving parts when EM is doing the work. Your BHA keeps its hydraulics. You keep drilling and setting records. Stop compromising.
We get it — you like your directional provider. But they don’t have the best of everything. Maybe they have the best motor. Maybe they have the rotary steerable you prefer. Maybe it’s the DDs. But as a drilling engineer, your job is performance. You want the best mud, the highest-capacity rig, the most optimum drill bits.
Why would you compromise on sub-par MWD because “it works” or “the package rate saves me $1,000/day”?
How much is it worth to increase your VCL success from 35% to 75%? How much is it worth to save 2–3 trips per pad? Why is it acceptable to pay high rotary-steerable damage tickets due to torquer, pad, or turbine damage?
The legacy “it’s good enough” Pulse is your issue. Let us help with your performance.
One vendor, one signal chain, one accountable party. Every Quantum MWD run ships with the full stack — not as separate rentals you stitch together.
EM-primary + Pulse-backup. Auto-failover under fluid changes, like 5G ↔ 1X on a phone.
High-torque structural-isolation sub on the proprietary VIC connection. Torque capacity exceeds the highest-rated Extreme Torque API end connections.
Integrated, not a separate sub. Bedding-plane resolution at standard MWD spacing.
Resistance-at-bit. Measurement at the cutting structure vs gamma 20–60 ft behind.
EM downlinking. Commands in seconds. Direct Live extends to continuous closed-loop control.
24/7 remote ops + on-location boots-on-the-ground. Real engineers, real-time, every run.
Surveys during connections. Direction every joint. No pumps-off pause to ask the tool what it sees.
