What is Measurement While Drilling (MWD)? MWD is a type of logging-while-drilling (LWD) technology that collects and transmits real-time drilling parameters and formation evaluation data. Unlike conventional wireline logging, which is conducted after drilling, MWD allows operators to make informed decisions during the drilling process. Key Functions of MWD Directional Drilling Guidance: MWD provides azimuth, […]

What is a Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP)?A PCP is a positive displacement pump consisting of a helical rotor that rotates within a stator. The interaction between the rotor and stator creates sealed cavities that move fluid progressively from the pump’s intake to its discharge. Key Components of a PCP Working Principle of PCPsThe PCP operates […]
Sliding Side Door SSD
In the petroleum industry, a sliding side door (SSD) refers to a type of equipment or mechanism, commonly used in well completion tools, particularly in downhole equipment. SSDs are used during well testing, acidizing, or stimulation to control fluid flow to targeted zones. These mechanisms are crucial in advanced well completions, especially in complex wells […]

The blades of the underreamer remain inside the tool for accessing throughrestrictions. Then they expand by centrifugal and hydraulic force when pumpingbegins and the downhole motor begins to turn. For recovery, the blades areretracted again by stopping pumping. Common applications for underreaming are cement removal after squeezeoperations and scale removal. When fitted with specially hardened […]
