DBS | Downhole Broadband Solutions

The critical link between you and your downhole performance

When every second counts, real-time downhole measurements and accurate data provide the insights you need to mitigate events such as stuck pipe or additional circulating hours. The ability to quickly augment your drilling approach in response to downhole dynamics allows you to safely drill to your technical limits while avoiding costly nonproductive time.

Our M/D Totco™ downhole broadband solutions rely on accurate BlackStream™ downhole sensors and IntelliServ™ wired drill pipe (WDP) to acquire high-speed, downhole dynamics measurements that support a suite of applications, viewers, and controls focused on optimizing your drilling performance. Using a closed-loop digital platform and high-speed telemetry, the system creates a bidirectional link to real-time drillstring dynamics and pressure measurements along the wellbore.

Our services provide downhole visualization and analytics capabilities on both the rigsites and your operational centers around the world, turning downhole data into actionable insight and recommendations that help you drill faster and more efficiently while achieving consistent, safe operations.

A dynamic optimization platform built on powerful technologies

Our BlackStream series of collar-based dynamics measurement tools work in concert with our IntelliServ wired drillstring to improve telemetry times and deliver high-frequency downhole data. The BlackStream enhanced measurement system (EMS) tool provides real-time measurements of both drilling dynamics and wellbore quality. With the addition of our BlackStream along-string measurement (ASM) tool, the total dynamic environment of the drillstring can be evaluated as it relates to temperature, annular and bore pressure, rotational velocity, and three-axis vibration. Both tools can be run simultaneously in flexible configurations in multiple placements.
