About the application

Pathfinder® System

Raptor Pathfinder® is an integrated acoustic telemetry system engineered for robust, in-system communication through metal structures, utilising patented proprietary algorithms that deliver the highest combination of speed and noise resilience of data transmission available.

Combining surface and downhole tools, it provides reliable, real-time communication tailored specifically for the oil and gas industry. Looking ahead, the technology is evolving toward intelligent, adaptive communication and advanced data analytics and modelling to further enhance operational insight and efficiency. The system is also compatible with custom subs such as sliding sleeves, valves and sensor modules, enabling expanded deployment flexibility within complex completions.

Available Pathfinder® Sensors

  • Quartz Sensor  P&T

  • Semiconductor P&T

  • Inclination & Direction

  • IRT Dynamics Sensor

  • Raptor Acoustic Listening Platform (leak detection and location)

  • Casing Collar Locator

  • Hydrophone Sensor for precision in-fluid acoustic measurements

  • MEMS Distributed Temperature – thermal gradient, flow profiling, zonal allocation and crossflow measurements

Signal path

From downhole to cloud, one unbroken signal

Surface Receiver

ATEX Certified Surface Receiver

High fidelity, wide dynamic range broadband four-channel receiver processes acoustic signals from the wellbore and pipes them directly to the cloud interface for real-time analysis.

Distributed measurements

Intermediate Repeater Nodes

Distributed measurement nodes along the wellbore extend signal range and gather independent pressure, temperature and acoustic data at multiple depths simultaneously.

Connectivity

Sub Sea – Cloud Interface

Bridges subsea hardware to the cloud, delivering low-latency bidirectional data transmission for remote monitoring, real-time decisions and AI-powered answer products.

Downhole

Pathfinder® Downhole Tool

Multi-mode bidirectional telemetry tool sits at the bottom of the well. Transmits high-value wellbore data upward through the acoustic pathway – no cables, no intervention required.
