Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Tools
Beyond ConventionalWe believe in pushing directional drilling telemetry technology to the possible limits of perfection. So we designed our downhole MWD tools to be versatile in the field and give our clients long-term cost-saving solutions. For example, power consumption, accuracy, and functionality are restructured to ensure that you invest in MWD technology that serves your needs, every time.
Mud Pulse (MP) MWD Tools
Versatile Classics Perfected
Our range of mud pulse based MWD tools builds upon and perfects the design of conventional mud pulse technology. Thus ensuring that the familiar technology you have come to depend on makes your next directional drilling project a success. We modified every specification, from data transmission, power consumption to sensor accuracy and beyond, to engineer top performing mud pulse MWD tools in the class. As a result, you will be able to drill longer, achieve less Non-Productive Time (NPT), and get more accurate results.
Terre-LP Linear Mud Pulse MWD Tool
175°C
This bottom-landed linear pulser covers 99% of drilling conditions, will work up to 600 hours on one battery, and has a four-year average MTBF of 2,500 hours underground. With sensor pack accuracy within the ±0.2° range, this easy to retrieve and reseat tool will be your most versatile MWD tool in the fleet.
Terre-RP Rotary Mud Pulse MWD Tool
175°C
Our top-hanging rotary pulser can accurately and dependably perform in extreme hydraulic conditions. Terre-RP is built with the same design improvements as our Terre-LP, which ensure your data is accurate and data loss is virtually impossible. But Terre-RP handles High Lost Circulation Material (LCM) tolerances as high as 80 pounds per barrel (LBS/bbl). We have even had successful tests done at as high as 92 LBS/bbl.

Need to Make a Change in the Field?
We believe in versatile solutions. If you purchase a bottom-landed pulse system and realize in the field that the conditions demand a significantly more powerful tool, you do not need to change your entire system. Instead, MWDPlanet can provide you with a cost-saving mechanical section to modify your existing mud-pulse based MWD system in the field. Contact us to find out more.
EM and Multi-Channel MWD Telemetry Tools
Where Speed Meets Accuracy
We believe in designing directional drilling telemetry tools that are versatile and provide unmatched flexibility in the field. With increased difficulty of drilling conditions, it is challenging to rely on a mud pulse MWD data path only: the parameters of the mud mix are not always in line with your data needs. Instead of engineering a purely Electro-Magnetic (EM) tool, our line of MWD EM tools is multi-channel, ensuring that you do not have to make time-consuming decisions in the field.
Pegasus Drop-in EM Transmitter
This Electro-Magnetic (EM) transmitter converts your existing hydraulic MWD system into either an EM system or a multi-channel EM and Mud Pulse (MP) system. For a quarter of the price of a full MWD system, even your Tensor tools will be able to make the leap into the future of drilling: immediate surveys on connection, cost-effective service, and up to 20 times faster data rate.
Terre-Flex Multi-Channel Telemetry System
This multi-channel input-output MWD tool with modular hardware and software design proactively chooses the best data path between EM and MP technology. Combining the best from the existing technologies, you will always have access to reliable data no matter the mud conditions or the specifics of the earth formations. Most importantly, you will never need to decide in advance which channel you want to listen to.
