EM telemetry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EM Telemetry is a method of transmitting data from a Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) that resides just above an oil well drill bit. The BHA may contain various measuring instruments such as a Gamm Ray Tool, Resistivity Tool, Directional Survey Instrument, or others. EM Telemetry is capable of transmitting data up to ten times faster than mud pulse telemetry.
