THE BUSINESS
What they bring
to the well.
MWD Solutions serves oil and gas operators evaluating measurement while drilling and logging while drilling packages. Its scope includes specialty downhole systems and independent technical consulting.
THE MWD SOLUTIONS ADVANTAGE
High-end capability. Independent economics.
MWD Solutions gives operators access to sophisticated MWD and LWD equipment at substantially lower cost than the major service companies. Ask Corey to build a proposal around the measurements, conditions and support your well actually needs.
Compare quotations on equivalent equipment configuration, operating conditions, personnel and support scope.
TECHNICAL SCOPE
Capabilities that matter.
Quad Orbital / Azimuthal gamma
A retrievable four-sensor probe with selectable directional bins, rotary inclination and drilling-dynamics measurements.
Omega / Propagation resistivity
Phase-shift and attenuation measurements at two frequencies, with multiple investigation depths.
APWD / Annular pressure
Average, peak and resting pressure, temperature and drilling dynamics, including pumps-off measurements.
Values below are published by MWD Solutions for the named systems. Confirm the current configuration and operating envelope with the team before specifying equipment.

| Sensor offset | 12 in |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 175°C / 347°F |
| Inclination accuracy | ±0.25° |
| Combined motor + string limit | 250 rpm |
| Data path | EM short-hop; real-time and memory |
Formation resistivity is listed as optimal at 2–200 ohm·m. Receiver retrieval does not make the bit sub retrievable. Confirm configuration-specific torque, shock and rotary limits.
