Patent ID: 10724362

Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for transmission of measurement while drilling (MWD) data from a MWD tool to a receiver. Such apparatuses, methods, and systems may modify MWD data to allow for transmission of the modified MWD data in a manner that conserves electrical power of the MWD tool. For example, the MWD data can be modified to allow for effectively slower transmission of the data while adhering to existing transmission settings. Furthermore, a MWD tool can communicate data to modify transmission settings between the MWD tool and a rig controller. The rig controller can then adjust settings of the rig and transmit corresponding communications to the MWD tool to modify settings of the MWD tool. Such techniques allow for MWD data to be conveyed in an electrically efficient manner, reducing maintenance and recharging requirements of the MWD tool.
