1. XTR & XRT
The Initial Setup involves preparing the 2 boxes that will be used on the surface at the well site. The
2 x Boxes are the Extreme Remote Terminal (XRT) & the Extreme Telemetry Receiver (XTR).
The XTR contains hardware for receiving the data from the XEM MWD, processing the data so that
it can be decoded.
The XRT contains a Laptop that has the software which decodes the signal, displays the signal and
communicates with other devices over the network. The XRT and XTR are normally sent in black
pelican cases. A new version of the XRT called the “Azonix” Remote terminal is now available.
1.1. OPENING THE XRT AND THE XTR
1. Open the pelican cases containing the XRT and XTR. The pelican cases should be ‘green
tagged’ indicating that they are in good working condition. An XTR or XRT that has been in
service in the field for an extended period of time should be sent to the R&M facility periodically
for maintenance.
2. The XRT and XTR need to be placed in protective pelican cases when not in use, to prevent
damage from impact or direct exposure to water/excessive moisture.
