When Fast Pulse came out, with a slight investment into the surface decoding technology, our entire industry took a huge step forward. At Erdos Miller, we couldn't help but think... what if we make a massive investment into that technology?
Mark IV is what we saw in our minds as the starting point. We designed it thinking about: the main pains of our industry, our day-to-day technologies, great user experience, machine-learning algorithms, and our vision of the future of Drilling Tech.
Today, Mark IV not only is exceeding all of our expectations, but it’s ultimately going to give us the tools and the foundation we need to keep going further, faster.
What we did is we took all of those non-idealities (which normally, any engineer would complain about) and turned them into an advantage. So as you drill forward, Mark IV is actually learning how to decode better by analyzing the signal it’s seeing on the rig.
We always found really frustrating that sometimes you could actually see the sync, but couldn’t do much about it. Mark IV also allows to manually sync the pulse width and alignment in a very intuitive way.
This is the best performing, historically, against hard data set. We now know that this is good data that we can continue training our machine-learning algorithms, so we’re getting better at decoding all the time.
