  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A system of downhole sensors and telemetry that provides real-time data on wellbore trajectory and drilling parameters during the drilling process. This technology allows drillers to monitor inclination, azimuth, toolface orientation, and gamma ray logs, enabling precise directional control and early detection of drilling problems. Data is typically transmitted to the surface via mud pulse telemetry.",
