Global Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Market 2018: Transformation of MWD in the Oil and Gas Sector is Driven by Innovations in Sensors and Telemetry

DUBLIN, Nov. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Measurement While Drilling (MWD) - Patenting and Technology Development Trends" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This study covers technology development trends and stakeholder initiatives in moving away from traditional MWD methods towards a more accurate and high-speed data acquisition and transfer technologies.

Measurement while drilling technology is a critical part of the oilfield drilling operations as it enables the driller to achieve precise good placement by efficient steering the drill bit in the planned well path to reach the target in shortest possible time. Real-time formation evaluation measurements transmitted to the surface while drilling helps optimize drilling and improve recoverable reserves. Therefore recent development in MWD technology has been focussed on improving sensor capabilities together with advanced dual-telemetry systems.
