Pegasus Drop-in EM Transmitter
Tensor Compatible EM Transmitter | Standalone EM or Multi-Channel
Understanding our clients’ needs for long-term cost-saving solutions, we developed a new line of highly technological systems that will allow you to make better decisions faster.
Electro-Magnetic (EM) technology frees you from dependence on the quality of your mix and provides instantaneous surveys on connection. But we do not believe in being attached to only one kind of signal flow in an unpredictable environment. We believe in having more than one option and being able to choose the best for the given moment. For this reason, we developed an add-on transmitter, Pegasus, which either acts as a standalone EM channel or modifies your existing mud pulse (MP) based MWD system into an EM and MP multi-channel telemetry system. Impressively, for only a quarter of the price of a full MWD system, you can experience firsthand the benefits that an EM data path can bring to your existing workflow.
Key Features
Times Faster Data Rate Than Hydraulic Systems (Up to)
Faster Data Rate
Electro-magnetic (EM) waves’ bandwidth provides faster data rates compared to those achieved through hydraulic pressure pulses. So, depending on your settings, your data rate could be easily up to 20 times faster compared to that achieved with a hydraulic system.
Accuracy Free From Mud Mix
Data Independent From The Mud Mix
The quality of the mud mix is difficult to control in the always unpredictable drilling environment. Instead of being dependent on the mud mix, Pegasus uses EM waves to send data through earth formations. This is a more reliable way to receive data. Unlike MP dependent telemetry, EM technology allows you to perform air drilling and will not fail when the mud mix is aerated.
In short, you no longer have to balance between your hydraulic system needs and quality of your data.
Days of Wait-Time Saved Over One Month of Drilling
Immediate Surveys
Now, you do not need to wait to receive your survey every time a new pipe segment is attached. Rather than wait for the hydraulic pumps to cycle through, surveys are now available immediately on connection.
That extra five minutes your team has to be on standby whenever a change is made adds up to a week of wait-time over a month of drilling. Pegasus will definitely save you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of one job.
Little to No Service Necessary
Cost-Effective Service
Absence of mechanical parts drastically minimizes the number of elements that could fail and would require service. In fact, Pegasus EM Transmitter requires little to no service, allowing you to save time and money, while focusing on results.

Price Compared to a Full EM System
Affordable EM Solution
Pegasus EM Transmitter allows you to convert your existing telemetry systems, even those based on Tensor technology, into an EM and MP dual telemetry system for a quarter of the price of a full MWD system.
Finally, you no longer need to figure out how to manage your fleet and take it into the future of drilling.
