Case Study: Baker Hughes reduces transducer prototyping costs with COMSOL Multiphysics simulation

Baker Hughes saves 30% on prototyping costs with Comsol

The customer, Baker Hughes, faced the challenge of optimizing the design of ultrasonic transducers used for cement bond logging in oil and gas wells. To improve efficiency and reduce costs, they partnered with the vendor Comsol and utilized their COMSOL Multiphysics® software to accurately simulate acoustic wave propagation and the performance of their transducers.

Comsol's solution enabled Baker Hughes to build and validate both simplified 2D and full 3D models of their transducers, which accurately captured experimental responses. This use of simulation saved the company approximately 30% on prototyping costs by significantly reducing the number of physical transducer designs that needed to be manufactured and tested.
