Core Technology

Read On

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:

  • Tool Programming/Roll-Testing/Memory Downloading
  • Gamma Logging
  • Decoding
  • Remote Operations
  • Survey Correction Algorithms
  • Advanced Data Graphing and Time/Depth Consolidation

Solid State Sensors

Solutions for solid-state devices with accuracy up to 125° C exist, Noralis has now pushed accuracy and repeatability up to 165° C

Pioneering patented techniques to adapt solid-state technology meeting the accuracy and temperature requirements of modern day drilling we offer:

  • 27 optimized sensors
  • Innovative Low Noise Electronic Design
  • Unique Sensor Geometry
  • Ground Breaking Calibration Techniques
  • Real Time Proprietary Sensor Algorithms
  • 1000 samples/second oversample capability

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.
