Business Model
Direct Equipment Sales to OFS or Operator
Technology Innovations
- Solid-state sensing technology enables customers to drill more challenging wells (10x more resistant to shock and vibration vs. traditional downhole sensors) and provides a step-change in reliability
- RAID (Redundant Array of Intuitive Decoders) provides hands-free decoding experience, capable of detecting MWD mud pulse signals previously undetectable and decoding reliability increase
- Surface software integration provides users single-click functionality, merging MWD real-time data, MWD memory data, and EDR data into concise logs and reports enabling efficient and effective display of data
- Cloud functionality enables real-time operations and visibility on products and “quantifies” asset reliability based on insight into product lifecycle / use
- Provides asset lifetime “odometer” on every Noralis downhole product ensuring clients have visibility on product exposure to temperature, shock, and vibration
- Real-time and downhole memory offers enhanced well-bore information (shock & vibration, live inclination, live azimuth)
Applications
- Downhole Tools – Noralis Directional Module (NDM), integrated directional tool based on solid-state technology that combines the four main components of traditional tools (sensor, processor, power supply, strongback) to provide accuracy and repeatability at high temperatures and high vibrations
- Surface Equipment – Noralis Pressure Decoder (NPD), MWD mud pulse signal detection designed to replace existing MWD surface equipment, increases data telemetry speeds
- Software – Noralis Integrated Software Environment (NISE), integrated software database and data presentation management solution, includes graphing, logging, remote operations, short collar correction, shock and vibration, memory analysis, etc.
- Cloud-Based Data – Noralis HUB, web portal designed to connect with downhole tools, provide real-time updates, and track tool lifecycle
