Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are described herein for transmission of measurement while drilling (MWD) data from a MWD tool to a receiver. Such apparatuses, methods, and systems may modify MWD data to allow for transmission of the modified MWD data in a manner that conserves electrical power of the MWD tool. For example, the MWD data can be modified to allow for effectively slower transmission of the data while adhering to existing transmission settings. Furthermore, a MWD tool can communicate data to modify transmission settings between the MWD tool and a rig controller. The rig controller can then adjust settings of the rig and transmit corresponding communications to the MWD tool to modify settings of the MWD tool. Such techniques allow for MWD data to be conveyed in an electrically efficient manner, reducing maintenance and recharging requirements of the MWD tool.

Abstract: An MWD system with a BHA sensor assembly that can be assembled and tested off-site and then transported to the field and that requires fewer on-site workers to install and operate the system. The BHA sensor assembly can include a sensor for monitoring at least one physical parameter of the BHA and a processor for collecting the data from the sensor, analyzing the data to determine whether a physical condition has been met, and, if so, activating the telemetry system to begin transmitting drilling information to the surface. In some embodiments, a determination that a physical condition has been met can be used to activate or discontinue local logging of data to memory. Data from sensors can also be used to trigger a modification of the types and/or rates of data that are transmitted to the surface and/or logged to memory.
