Abstract

Abstract One of the main challenges from operating companies is the continuous reduction of well construction time. During drilling, considerable time is spent on static measurements to determine the wellbore location and to verify that the actual well path matches the planned one. The electromagnetic telemetry system (EMT) allows the taking of static directional survey measurements during connections, when the drill string is in slips. Transmitting commands to the rotary steerable system (RSS) through the EMT does not cause the drilling process to stop, which also reduces well construction time. The work describes well drilling experience with the use of the electromagnetic channel for communication with the rotary steerable system and the positive displacement downhole motor not only in horizontal section but in all well sections, starting from the top hole. Combined use of the complete logging while drilling tools (LWD) with this type of the telemetry system is a valuable finding. The article describes BHA, operational principles of this type of the telemetry system, and problems which may arise during operation.
