Capitalizing on modern-day consumer electronics and providing significant advantages to existing down-hole technology.
Integrated Directional Tool based on Solid State Technology (NDM)
- Replaces traditional 3-axis tools with 25+ sensors at 50% cost.
- Meets standard MWD error model and accuracy requirements at 168° C.
- Eliminates traditional MPU, TPS, Strongback configuration by consolidating tool functionality.
- Robust & Improved Reliability; Sensors capable of surviving 10x more shock. Single board ridged mounting.
- Advanced Memory (32 MB); 65+ data points every 20 seconds + lifetime environmental logs.
- USB Plug and Play
State of the Art Decoding (NPD)
- Noralis RAID (Redundant Array of Intuitive Decoders) enabled. Never miss a downlink.
- Hardware slightly larger than an I-phone for minimal footprint and cost.
- Intrinsically Safe Design, capable of 400 Hz sample rate.
First Class Software (NISE)
One Powerful Program combining:

Integration
Driving system reliability up while achieving a cost reduction Noralis tools come with:
- Reduced number of circuit boards
- Less Connections
- Shorter Length
- Less Complexity
Additional benefits from integrating the MWD downhole electronics:
- Lower Power Requirements - Using solid state devices eliminates the need of a "triple" power supply. All internal power on a single +5V rail.
- Failed Component Tracking - Pieces are no longer separated, all components experience the same amount of wear/tear and replaced at the same time.
- Systems Compatibility - By eliminating mix & match firmware and hardware compatibility issues are removed.
MWD-USB Interface
Providing direct PC access removes clunky additional surface system components.
To remain compatible with existing tools on the market the Noralis NDM also has a Q-bus interface, capable of being programmed by traditional surface units.
