Abstract

See full text

An improved servo-driven pulser is disclosed, for use in measurement while drilling applications. In the pulser, a battery powered on-board DC electric motor is used to operate a servo-valve, which in turn adjusts internal tool fluid pressures to cause operation of a main valve to substantially reduce mud flow to a drill bit, thereby creating a positive pressure pulse detectable at the surface. De-energizing the motor driving the pilot valve results in re-adjustment of internal fluid pressures, causing the main valve to reopen, thereby terminating the pressure pulse.
