Advanced MWD solutions
The Positive Pulse Measurement While Drilling (PP-MWD) system from Alberta Global Industries represents a modern, reliable solution for downhole data transmission and drilling optimization. Engineered for performance in both high and low resistivity formations, our system significantly reduces survey time while enhancing measurement accuracy at greater depths. Its modular downhole design allows seamless customization to suit a variety of Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) configurations, while the use of minimal moving parts extends tool life and simplifies maintenance requirements. For added operational efficiency, the tool is fully wireline retrievable and re-insertable, minimizing costly downtime and reducing the risk of tool loss during operations. Additionally, optional wireless communication modules enable secure long-range data transfer between the rig site and command centers, ensuring better real-time decision-making. With its durable construction and optimized decoding performance, the PP-MWD system is a dependable asset for any high-performance drilling operation.

Specifically developed to overcome the traditional depth and formation resistance limitations of EM tools, this next-generation system is optimized for deep horizontal drilling—including overbalanced, underbalanced, and high lost-circulation material (LCM) conditions. The XEM tool provides precise real-time measurements including Inclination, Azimuth, Gamma Logging, Pressure While Drilling (PWD), and Vibration While Drilling (VWD), making it ideal for all directional drilling applications. Its high-voltage (HV) technology features intelligent regulation of voltage and current, automatically adjusting to varying formation resistances. This enhances efficiency by enabling deeper penetration, reducing troubleshooting time, and streamlining downlinking and survey operations. The latest receiver design includes multiple decoding channels and reference points, which significantly improves signal clarity and decoding reliability without requiring signal amplification. Built-in noise cancellation further ensures accuracy in even the most challenging environments, positioning the XEM system as a leading solution for advanced directional drilling.

Engineered with advanced technologies, it delivers significant enhancements in durability and operational efficiency. At the core of the SLICK HD is a rotary shear valve, purpose-built to perform reliably in demanding conditions such as high solids content and heavy lost-circulation material (LCM) environments. This design not only reduces pressure drop across the servo module but also enables increased force transmission to the main valve assembly. The valve's self-cleaning wiping action effectively removes compacted debris, ensuring consistent and unobstructed flow through the tool—making it a robust and dependable choice for challenging drilling operations.

Designed as a survey-on-connection tool, it delivers real-time inclination, azimuth, and toolface readings without relying on costly steerable MWD systems. The Surefire, Wildfire, and Wildfire Pro tools are fully pre-programmed and can be operated directly by the driller—eliminating the need for dedicated MWD personnel. Engineered for durability, the system supports up to 1,000 hours of continuous operation and is built to withstand extreme shock and vibration, making it an ideal fit for rugged drilling environments.
