Tysk
Wireless Downhole Monitoring for Critical WellsElectromagnetic telemetry engineered for transmission through casing, cement, and conductive fluids — enabling reliable monitoring in well environments where conventional wireless systems struggle and cable-based systems add operational complexity.
Configurable for pressure, temperature, vibration, flow, and proprietary sensors, Tysk delivers real-time or burst-mode monitoring during critical well operations.
Field-proven. Shock-rated. Built for harsh well environments.
When Downhole Visibility Is Limited, Operational Risk Increases
Modern Well Conditions
- Multiple casing strings
- Cemented intervals and plugs
- Conductive / high-salinity fluids
- Elevated temperature & pressure
- Dynamic CT operations
Engineering Impact
- Signal attenuation
- Formation-dependent transmission
- Reduced telemetry reliability
- Tool survivability constraints
- Delayed operational feedback
Conventional Monitoring Limitations
- Mobilization and operational delay
- No real-time visibility during operations
- Surface infrastructure or penetrations
- Limited survivability during cementing or cleaning
- Telemetry degradation in casing, conductive fluids, or formation-dependent conditions
In simple or controlled environments, these trade-offs may be manageable.
In complex, cased, and high-stress wells, they become operational constraints. In these environments, telemetry performance and mechanical survivability become the limiting factors.
EM Telemetry That Works Where Conventional Systems Struggle
Tysk employs electromagnetic telemetry engineered for transmission through casing, cemented intervals, and conductive fluids. Rather than relying primarily on formation-dependent propagation paths, the system is optimized for electrically complex cased-hole environments, maintaining stable signal transmission across conductive, resistive, and electrically shorted conditions.
This telemetry architecture maintains signal stability in environments where conventional EM systems experience attenuation, instability, or electrical shorting.
Combined with its survivability in harsh well operations, Tysk enables real-time downhole visibility in environments where operators have traditionally relied on delayed or indirect data.
Transmission Reliability
Telemetry architecture optimized for electrically complex cased-hole environments.
- Stable signal transmission through single and multi-string casing
- Operates across conductive and resistive formations
- Maintains performance through cemented intervals and high-salinity fluids
- Remains stable even in electrically shorted conditions that degrade conventional EM systems.
Monitoring Flexibility
Configurable monitoring platform supporting multiple sensor types:
- Pressure
- Temperature
- Vibration
- Flow
- Integrated proprietary sensors
Monitoring intervals are configurable from seconds to hours, with real-time or burst-mode telemetry depending on operational requirements.
Operational Survivability
Designed to remain operational during active well operations.
- Shock- and vibration-rated for coiled tubing operations
- Suitable for cementing and milling environments
- Fully sealed, internal battery-powered system
- No wellhead penetrations or surface infrastructure required
The system is engineered to remain operational during dynamic intervention and high-stress downhole environments.
By combining casing-capable telemetry with mechanical survivability, Tysk delivers reliable downhole visibility in environments where conventional monitoring approaches become constrained.
