Fastcap's® Ulyss ET for EM Telemetry

The Ulyss ET Systems boosts signal, reduces cost, and improves data rate. In this paper, we’ll introduce Fastcap’s® Ulyss ET (ET) as a solution for EM telemetry that boosts signal, reduces cost, and improves data throughput. EM telemetry is a method of transmitting digital information to the surface during Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) operations. These systems transmit very low frequency EM waves to the surface through the ground that are subsequently decoded on the surface. These systems, inherently, require an energy storage solution capable of delivering high power on the time scale of a minute.
