Halliburton has developed “measurement-while-drilling” technology to optimise downhole information, enabling operators to drill longer laterals. The QuickPulse Automated Directional Gamma Service uses vibration, directional and gamma ray sensors with a strong transmission signal to reduce downhole interference. In Canada, QuickPulse recently helped an operator reduce connection time by 30% due to faster survey transmission. In the United States, Halliburton’s new system is being used by oil companies in North Dakota, Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma, Texas and California. The service has also made rig-up time 70% faster.
