Performance insights and optimization service.
Synapse™ performance insights and optimization service is a self-contained sensor module housed within the bit for true at-bit measurements. Its nonmagnetic assembly prevents interference within the BHA, and memory-mode logging with optional preset sleep mode enables efficient acquisition of rotational speed, shock and vibration, and temperature data.
The memory-mode shock and vibration tool sits inside PDC and roller cone bits, providing postrun data to evaluate drilling system performance by measuring three-axis acceleration, torsional vibration, and rpm at the bit. These data are quickly processed and customized to your requirements, giving an improved understanding of downhole events and identifying performance limiters — with synthesized data delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
Postrun analysis enables quick development and adjustment of drilling parameters, further optimizing drilling performance and overall efficiency while downhole. The drillbit dynamics data also help reduce premature tool failure, direct tool maintenance systems, evaluate the performance of new motor designs, and optimize bit selection. Applications include directional and vertical wells.
