LWD
The Weatherford® LWD portfolio helps improve drilling decisions by delivering formation evaluation and drilling measurements for real-time decisions and reservoir characterization in all drilling environments and applications.
Weatherford’s robust, hostile-environment, triple- and quad-combo LWD platform comprises the oil and gas industry’s most accurate and reliable suite of sensors capable of providing wireline-quality measurements in the full spectrum of drilling environments and applications, including deep HPHT, underbalanced air drilling and short-radius conditions where other systems cannot operate.
Weatherford LWD systems deliver the industry’s fastest logging speeds while drilling—up to 400 ft/hr (122 m/hr) – in a full range of wellbore diameters, from 5 ¾ in. to 26 in. Most sensors are designed with the same high-pressure, -temperature and –flow rate specifications as those of our Hostile Environment Logging (HEL™) MWD platform.
