The only wired drill pipe that utilises digital telemetry, power, and enhanced downhole reliability, DualLink has been designed to meet the needs of both land and offshore drilling.

Benefits of Reelwell DuaLink – Powered Pipe

High bandwidth bi-directional telemetry of >56k bits

sec downhole Providing a significant step change from current speeds of 1 to 20 bits per second, enabling the necessary use of data, further digitization, and atomization.

Constant electrical power supply of >500W downhole Significantly changing the limited supply lifespan, removing batteries from tools, while facilitating the introduction of new technologies

Reliable solution meeting on- and offshore drilling requirements Ensuring reliable levels for market adoption of a second-generation wired pipe design that meets E&P industry requirements.

Open access network solution breaking down industry barriers Enabling anyone to connect to the network, integrating drilling systems, hardware, and software providers, and breaking down today’s isolated service offerings.

Technology - Focused on reliability

Historically, wired drill pipe usually depended on one or two wires running through the drill string. This lack of redundancy negatively affected reliability, resulting in increased drilling downtime and higher costs. Recognizing this failure point, DualLink was developed with a strong focus on reliability. DualLink is designed using standard drill pipe that features a unique conductor layer. It includes a copper braid composed of 816 individual wires, creating a robust structure with extensive surface contact. In the event that one wire experiences a short circuit, there is a built-in contingency plan to prevent any risk of signal loss.
