Customer Testimonials

APS MWD Customer since 2006

The addition of APS MWD system kits to our fleet allowed Integrated Directional Resources (IDR), an established independent directional drilling company, to become self-sufficient in MWD, removing our previous dependency on third-party MWD service companies. The downhole system is robust and easy to make up at the wellsite, and the surface system is intuitive and easy to operate. These features allowed us to use cross-trained Directional Drilling/MWD personnel to perform both functions, resulting in considerable savings for both our company (IDR) and the client oil company. The overall system reliability was also beneficial in that we were able to run with a “lean” fleet, covering 4 jobs with basically 9 MWD strings, thus saving significant capital expense. All in all, the MWD profitability resulting from use of the APS systems contributed to making IDR an attractive acquisition.
