““MWD uses gyroscopes, magnetometers and accelerometers to determine borehole inclination and azimuth during the actual drilling. The data is then transmitted to the surface through pulses through the mud column (mud pulse) and electromagnetic telemetry. Decoded at the surface, the data can also be transmitted to an offsite location immediately. “”
Friggen BRILLIANT. People have NO CLUE what’s going on in so many areas. In oil, most people are probably still thinking Beverly Hillbillies.
