Product Overview

Overview

Bench Tree has greatly reduced the number of connectors in the system, which helps to minimize the primary source of MWD related NPT. The tool is capable of operating up to 185 degrees C and will soon provide real time azimuth and stick-slip detection. Additionally, they have recently introduced an advanced Resistivity tool which meets or exceeds the accuracy of major service companies.

Short String MWD

Bench Tree’s Short MWD system provides operators with directional information to maximize drilling efficiency and pay zone exposure. It is shorter and lighter than competitors, helping to minimize sensitivity to shock/vibration.

The 3D-I incorporates Bench Tree’s proven high-temperature electronics, and high quality magnetometers and accelerometers. Bench Tree’s Short MWD System, can be retrofitted in to many legacy and proprietary systems and is compatible with standard pulsers and gamma sensors.

HPR Integrated System

The Bench Tree HPR resistivity tool incorporates a simplified design, with signal and processing power in an integrated tool which has substantially fewer connection points for higher reliability.

Technology Innovations
  • Bench Tree’s Directional Sensor highly accurate and delivers true 175C Performance

  • Bench Tree’s New Advanced Detection Receivers improve decoding in harsh and noisy environments, while enabling increased data rates by reliably decoding shortened pulse widths.

  • Increase data density and log quality by using Bench Tree’s patented instantaneous dynamic synchronization which allows the user to switch between rotate modes and slide modes.

  • Bench Tree’s dual-frequency, propagating-wave resistivity system offers accurate resistivity data in a broad range of formation properties and temperatures, while consuming minimal power to stay downhole longer. With a flat response throughout its operating temperature range (up to 175°C), it can be run on virtually any LWD architecture.

Applications
  • Bench Tree’s Short String MWD Tools are used in directional drilling applications for surveys and steering
  • The LWD Resistivity Tool is used for Geosteering or as a memory only wireline replacement
