ABIX via COMTEX) -- Gas well drilling operations can be optimised using a new telemetry system being tested in the US. The Gas Technology Institute (GTI), in the US, is using fibre optics to monitor the conditions in gas wells and relay this information instantaneously to the well-head. The high-bandwidth telemetry system relays information at speeds of up to one million bits per second using a multi-mode, unarmoured fibre optic cable housed within the drill string. The fibre is disposable, negating the need to recover it when drilling operations are completed. Drilling conditions are obtained without the added expense of the traditional method of lowering specialist instruments into the well during suspended drilling...
