How MWD Systems Work
MWD (Measurement While Drilling) tools use advanced sensors and electronics to transmit real-time directional and geological data to the surface. This continuous feedback allows operators to:
- Optimize well trajectory for precise drilling
- Monitor drilling conditions to prevent costly failures
- Gather geological insights to enhance resource assessment
Operating in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments, MWD systems demand components that deliver unmatched durability, precision, and reliability.
Precision Components Tailored for the most advanced MWD systems
Oberg Industries manufactures MWD components to keep operations running at peak performance. Key offerings include:
- Directional Drilling Wear Pad Housings – Precision-machined housings designed to protect internal components in harsh drilling environments.
- Wear Pads – Our wear pads combine advanced materials with precision manufacturing to help minimize erosion and extend tool life to ensure reliable performance, reduce maintenance, and increase operational efficiency.
- Fluid Restrictors – Fluid control components built for accuracy under extreme conditions.
- Mud Valves – Critical for regulating drilling fluid flow and maintaining downhole pressure stability.
- LWD Components – Precision-manufactured components built to support real-time formation evaluation and enhance subsurface data acquisition.
Each MWD component is built to your exact specifications to integrate seamlessly into your system, ensuring superior performance in the field.
BUILT TO WITHSTAND EXTREME CONDITIONS
MWD components must endure some of the harshest downhole conditions, including:
- Temperatures exceeding 200°C (392°F)
- Pressures beyond 30,000 PSI
- Corrosive drilling fluids & abrasive formations
Oberg Industries manufactures high-precision components to customer specifications, using required advanced materials such as Stellite™, ToughMet®, Inconel®, Nitronic alloys, and Titanium to support performance in extreme environments.
