Teledrift Product Leading Questions
In determining the best Teledrift tool for your specific application, it might help to consider the following questions:

What are the economics of the well?  Answer: There are price points for each service according to the information provided by the Teledrift tools.  In addition, there are supplemental costs that may be incurred at the end of the well for services to meet regulatory requirements, should you select a lower cost tool to utilize while drilling.   With these two facts in mind, selecting a lower cost service may end up costing you more at the completion of the well when all of the services are totaled up.

What are my survey requirements?  Is azimuth required?  Answer:  If you only require drift measurements to meet your well program needs, then you have two options (Wireless Drift Indicator or ProDrift MWD). If you require azimuth in addition to inclination for well control or regulatory requirements, then ProShot MWD should be your choice.

What tool resolution do I require?  Answer:  The surface or upper hole section may require tighter control so that fewer problems are encountered later in the drilling program.  The ProSeries MWD tools offer greater resolution and accuracy over the mechanical drift tool.

What is my maximum static bottom hole (BH) temperature expected?  Answer: The ProSeries MWD tools have a maximum temperature limit of 300° F (due to lithium battery power source).  The Wireless Drift Indicator has been run successfully in bottom hole temperatures in excess of 500° F.

What is the maximum flow rate that I will be pumping?  Answer:  The maximum allowable flow rate of the Wireless Drift Indicator tool is higher than that of the ProSeries MWD tools.  While lower flow rates can be utilized while surveying, constant exposure to higher drilling flow rates becomes the limiting factor.
