What Is LWD and Why Does It Matter?
LWD Components measure physical properties of rock formations, such as resistivity, porosity, and density, during active drilling. These LWD components work alongside MWD tools but prioritize evaluating subsurface geology to guide decision-making. By delivering real-time data, LWD components reduce costly delays and help operators maximize efficiency in complex drilling scenarios.
