Conclusion:

This damaged part is BEYOND REPAIR and cannot be re-used. Due to this
massive damage, there was a high probability of unexpected downhole
incident including severe damage to the whole MWD Tool/String (e.g. short
circuit of any electrical connection within the tool leading to fire or explosion).
The only reason that attributes to such type of wear and tear / washout is the
unwanted amount of solid content in the Mud.
In view of safety of our tool, we request you to maintain the mud parameters like
solid content, sand content etc. within the permissible range through proper
functioning of solid control equipments and if possible improve the quality of mud.
