Nemein
Real-Time Intelligent Hole Condition Data for Faster, More Informed Decision Making
Advanced thermal, vibration & energy flow management technologies provide downhole power, imaging & data analytics to optimise drilling efficiency & increase safety whilst reducing cost & environmental impact to address key industry challenges such as stuck pipe & well control issues
Nemein, an OEM, designs and manufactures solutions & products for harsh environments, particularly deep hot boreholes, the principle focus being thermal & vibration management & big data sensing. The technology enables:
-
conditions with the potential to cause environmental damage or safety risks to be detected early to allow for avoidance & mitigation, whilst improving drilling efficiency & therefore reducing drilling costs
-
downhole tools to operate & be powered at higher temperatures than established technologies which is a key enablers for deeper & hotter geothermal boreholes - a driving factor in reducing fossil fuel consumption​

Nemein has benefited from financial support from the Welsh Government SMARTCymru programme, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The Demeter project aims to design and develop a thermoelectrically powered EM telemetry repeater. The thermoelectric generator for Demeter is a scaled variation of the full thermoelectric technology of the Persephone project, also being supported under this programme.
