ABSTRACT: The paper addresses a literature review of
the technologies used in the transmission of measuring and logging data during
well drilling. It presents a discussion about efficiency in data density
transmission and reliability, especially when it comes to software and
automated tools. Initially, this paper analyzes the principle of the telemetry
systems, considering the mud pulse telemetry, acoustic telemetry,
electromagnetic telemetry and wired drill pipe telemetry. They were detailed
highlighting information about functionality, data transmission and its linkage
to supporting software. Focus is also given to details of the main advantages
and disadvantages of each technology considering the influences of lithology,
drilling fluid and formation fluids in the reliability and capacity of data
transmission.
