SureLog-DDM™

DRILLING INSIGHTS THAT REDUCE DOWNTIME

APS’s Drilling Dynamics Monitor (DDM™)* sub measures and records weight on bit, torque on bit, bending on bit, internal and annular pressure and temperature during drilling operations.

DDM measures and records weight on bit, torque on bit, bending on bit, internal and annular pressure and temperature, all in real time.

  • Captured data may be transmitted in real time via APS’s SureShot™ MWD/LWD system, or stored in the DDM’s downhole memory for later download and analysis.
  • Can be equipped with vibration monitoring to measure, calculate and record axial, lateral and angular downhole shock and vibration.
  • Real-time vibration alarms may be transmitted via SureShot.

Available sizes: 4.75 in. (121 mm), 6.75 in. (172 mm) and 8.0 in. (204 mm).
