Fortis™️ – Pulser

Fortis. Precision pulsing for extreme environments.
Fortis™ is Rime’s third-generation rotary shear valve servo pulser, engineered to deliver exceptional reliability and performance in the most demanding drilling environments. Built on the proven Slick-HD platform, Fortis introduces Rime’s patented Certus valve topology, increasing flow area and delivering sharper, cleaner pressure pulses while maintaining durability in high-solids and high-LCM conditions.

By combining a magnetic coupling drive system, robust control electronics, and resolver-based motor feedback, Fortis isolates critical components from corrosion, fluid intrusion, and erosion, reducing failure modes while improving overall operational efficiency. The result is a highly reliable pulser designed for deep, hot, and hostile downhole environments.

Description

  • Third-Generation Servo Valve Design: Built around Rime’s newly patented rotary shear valve architecture for improved reliability across the full operating range.
  • Diamond-on-Diamond Durability: Features an ultra-high wear Certus valve topology designed to resist erosion and maintain performance in abrasive, high-solids environments.
  • High-Flow Quad Port Architecture: Utilizes four-port flow geometry to generate sharper, cleaner pulses while improving reliability in high LCM and demanding mud systems.
  • Magnetically Coupled Drive System: Decouples the compensated pulser section from the driver module to eliminate failures caused by corrosion, fluid invasion, and erosion.
  • Extreme Environment Performance: Rated for 175°C and 20,000 psi with enhanced shock isolation and reduced component count for lower failure rates and operating costs.
