Measurement While Drilling (MWD) Guide
Oil & Gas Measurement While Drilling systems allow the driller to gather and transmit information from the bottom of the hole back to the surface without interrupting normal drilling operations. This information can include directional deviation data, data related to the petrophysical properties of the formations, and drilling data, such as WOB and torque (check also: torque & drag).
