What is downlinking in drilling? Downlinking is sending command(s) from surface to MWD tool so that two-way communication between MWD tool and MWD Engineer is established. Downlinking is needed as MWD tools must become flexible in executing tasks. Command sent to MWD tool is used to change telemetry or execute measurement on demand. What is autonomous directional drilling? Autonomous directional drilling is the downhole control technology guiding our tools in autonomous well construction, overcoming control-loop time and associated data-to-surface delays when downhole tools detect or encounter programed conditions, and then wait for downlinking corrective instructions.
