Halliburton (HAL) Unveils PulseStar for Efficient Data Streaming

In this article:

Halliburton Company (HAL), a global leader in energy services, introduced PulseStar, a service that offers operators a steady, high-speed flow of downhole data. This service transmits real-time drilling and subsurface data, including high-resolution information from greater depths, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of well delivery.

According to HAL, PulseStar employs advanced telemetry for remote operations, thereby reducing the need for human intervention and maximizing on-bottom drilling time. This adaptive system intelligently responds to environmental shifts, ensuring optimal data rates and detection levels. Its integrated artificial intelligence dynamically optimizes data pulses, maintaining superior quality across the reservoir. Additionally, the system’s advanced signal processing allows downlink for seamless two-way communication during drilling operations.

One of the key advantages of PulseStar is its ability to facilitate rapid and precise drilling decisions. By enabling high-speed transmission in deeper reservoir depths, it caters to the crucial need for detailed characterization and drilling optimization. This translates to enhanced operational efficiency and potentially faster project timelines.

Per Jim Collins, the vice president of Sperry Drilling at Halliburton, the PulseStar service is an automated mud-pulse telemetry system that consistently delivers high-speed data at extended depths for industry-leading subsurface insight and higher rate of penetration. Collins’ statement highlights the transformative potential of PulseStar in empowering the energy industry with cutting-edge technology.
