Service qualityService quality is at the heart of everything we do. Every Archer employee has complete commitment to quality and consistency, and our equipment undergoes rigorous in-house testing to ensure it can operate at the highest level on every job, no matter the conditions. Through our Remote Monitoring Control Center, our customers and employees have access to experienced technical supervisors and engineers if and when they are needed. We take pride in the work we do and are totally focused on getting the job done right.

InnovationWe are constantly searching out new ways to deliver better service quality and better drilling efficiency. This starts with selecting and developing the right tools and applying our experience to solve the customer’s challenges. Whether it’s engineering and design or adapting the way we work, innovation is part of who we are.

SolutionsAt Archer, we seek to provide straightforward solutions to our customer’s challenges. This starts with listening intently to our customers, making sure we understand exactly their goals and criteria for success. We understand not all jobs are the same; therefore, not all solutions are the same. That is why we strive to be flexible, easy to do business with and provide simple, fit for purpose solutions.

We listen to our customers and provide them with the specialist support and innovative engineering solutions they require to get the job done right the first time, every time. Whether operating in a conventional basin or an unconventional shale play, Archer has the experience, technology and capacity to deliver your wells efficiently and safely.

With operational bases strategically located in every major U.S. shale basin, and a nation-wide support network, we are able to deliver the highest level of service quality and operational efficiency to reduce the cost of reaching your reserves.

We deliver drilling optimization through safe, efficient and cost effective operational expertise.

Our Collar Mounted Pulser is a reliable, efficient and modular tool that can perform in the worst of conditions. This tool is a great alternative for high temperature and high lost circulation material (LCM) environments. All materials are high wear-resistant to lengthen the run time and increase reliability.

Our Retrievable MWD Pulser uses a proven positive pulse design that is reseatable to reduce risk associated with lost in hole conditions and minimizing rig downtime. It utilizes a piston design for pressure compensation with an option to integrate the gamma detector along with high temperature capabilities.

Retrievable pulser module

Directional drilling

Features• Excellent choice for extremely high LCM jobs due to

its ability to pulse with 50 lbs/bll of nut plug• Brushless motor for increased performance and

decreased current consumption• Open flow design with tungsten flow surface to

minimize erosion• Automatic self-clearing capability• Internal data logging of all pertinent operational data

that can be downloaded after each run Specifications

• Flow rates from 70 – 1200 GPMs• Sub sizes from 3 ½” – 9 ½”• Adjustable pulse height

Key benefits• Increased reliability• High temperature capability• High torque direct drive motor – no pilot

valve to pack off• Easily adjustable on site, less parts required to

accommodate various flow rates• Full flow design• Reliable transmission and storage of data• Electromechanical flowswitch

Applications• Real-time logging and measurement while drilling

Features• Single coil design for improved reliability and low

power consumption• 3-axis flow switch• Memory logging of shock, vibration, battery voltages,

pulses current• Automatic updated firmware via internet• Relocated servo orifice to promote improved

performance in high LCM conditions

Key benefits• Shortened tool length allowing gamma to be closer

to the bit• Single coil design that is directly coupled to the

poppet shaft to eliminate extra internal moving parts for increased reliability

• Floating piston pressure compensation – No elastomeric membrane for increased reliability

Applications• Real-time logging and measurement while drilling

Gamma module

Focused gamma module

Effective in any environment, gamma ray tools are the industry standard devices used for the correlation of logs. The gamma ray tool uses a sensitive scintillation detector for the measurement of natural radioactivity of well formations. The gamma ray tool is placed below the telemetry section, which supplies power to the tool and transmits the gamma ray data to the surface.

The Focus Gamma uses a smaller diameter crystal than the standard gamma module, but with a longer length to compensate for lower sensitivity. A window is machined along the length of a tungsten shield that surrounds the detector, which provides proper orientation of the geological formation. Only gamma rays entering from the formation through this window are detected and counted.

Features• Ruggedized PMT and scintillation crystal,

calibrated to API standard units• The tool may be incorporated into the pulser

module housing• Can be added or removed as needed

Key benefits• Closer proximity of sensor to bit for better

geological placement• High temperature capabilities• Can be added or removed as needed• User can turn on at any time by sending

down-link command

Applications• Logging of formations while drilling• Evaluation of the shale content• Locating frac sands • Locating markers in casing

Features• The Focused Gamma Module may be run

simultaneously with other Archer logging systems

Specifications• Scintillation detector with tungsten shield to orient

gamma detection• Evaluation of the shale content• 0.65 CPS per API• Operational to 350°F [177°C]• Angular resolution of 75°/360° for 8” hole

Key benefits• Gamma counts are detected from a fixed location

through the tungsten shield• Calibrated API specification ensuring highly

repeatable data

Applications• Geosteering by monitoring gamma counts from the

desired direction of the formation• Depth correlation and evaluation of shale content of

formations• Location of frac sands and radioactive markers in

casing collar
