4. Panelists Near Bit Measurement Technologies
Brad Dunbar, Product and Technology Manager BHA Interaction, Halliburton Drill Bits and Services
Brad has been with Halliburton since 1998 in various technology and management roles.  Most recently, he has been the Product Manager for Drill Bits from 2012 to 2018 and a few months ago moved in the role of product and technology manager for BHA Interaction.  In this role, he is focused on deploying sensors into Halliburton products to study drilling dynamics and their effect on drilling performance.  Brad holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering Technology from Oklahoma State University and a MBA from the University of Houston.
Joe Gremillion Senior Well Placement Engineer/Petrophysicist
Joe has been with Schlumberger for 26 years, with 9 years in the field as an LWD engineer in the USA and Colombia, and 17 years in various roles all doing pretty much the same thing, planning and steering horizontal wells or using RT LWD data for Petrophysics and drilling optimization. Working in North America, Peru-Colombia-Ecuador, Continental Europe, Mexico and back to North America. He is currently working as WP/Petrophysics Domain Champion for NAL focused on application of LWD data for geosteering or frac optimization.
Paul Mackinnon
Paul joined NOV in 2008 through the GrantPrideco acquisition. At NOV he has held various roles in sales, application engineering and operations with a focus on drilling optimization and automation. Most recently, Paul led the DDS operations organization for WHO. Prior to NOV, Paul worked at Schlumberger in field and other roles in the UK, Norway and Oman and he holds a degree in Geology from Southampton University in the UK.
Chaitanya Vempati, Digital Development Manager
Vempati is the Digital Development Manager at Drill Bits at Baker Hughes Inc. In his current position he manages the digital group that focuses on in-bit measurement, and drilling optimization. Previously he held various design roles within Baker Hughes Drill Bits. He holds an M.S in Mechanical Engineering from University of Texas at Austin focusing on design automation, neural networks, artificial intelligence, graph theory and numerical optimization. He has co-authored 4 publications and holds 18 US patents. His interests include drill bit design, dynamics, bit/BHA selection and data mining.

12. What near bit measurement technologies are being developed today?
iNBS – Tolteq iSeries Near-Bit Sub Measurement System
Run between bit and motor to provide near bit inclination, RPM and azimuthal gamma
Short length (31”) limits impact on directional performance (Class leader)
EM “short hop” used to transmit data from iNBS to iSeries MWD tool (located above the motor)
Available in 4 ¾” (iNBS 400) and 6 ¾” (iNBS 600) versions
Enablement business model (Existing iSeries fleet)
iNBS near bit sub installed between the bit and motor
iNBS inc data vs MWD survey data

22. Want to be a luncheon Sponsor
Want to be a luncheon Sponsor? Let us know, we appreciate your participation.

23. Join us on September 17th and 18th
This IADD topical forum will address these issues and determine the criteria for success. 
To a directional driller, it can be about painting the line
To a geologist, it can be about identifying and staying in the zone
To a completion engineer, it can be about the ease of running casing or a completion system
To a production engineer, it can be about production rates or minimizing workovers or well interventions
Join us on September 17th and 18th
