The Motion Decoupled Delivery System: A New Deployment System for Downhole Tools is Tested at the New Jersey Margin

Show other versions (1)

The Motion Decoupled Hydraulic Delivery System (MDHDS) is a new downhole tool delivery system that is deployed by wireline and uses drillstring pressure to advance a penetrometer (or other downhole tool) into the formation at the bottom of offshore boreholes. After hydraulic deployment of the penetr...
