The discipline of wellbore positioning in the oil and gas industry was born to manage risk. As a result, it is still its primary function today. While sometimes this risk is only economical, new techniques used on both onshore and offshore wellbore design have made wellbore positioning a safety-critical activity.

INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP

For over 25 years, Scientific Drilling has led the industry in high-accuracy gyro survey services. Therefore, providing you with the ultimate drilling confidence. Since introducing the world’s first north-seeking gyroscope, we have been committed to innovative technology development to address the industry’s evolving well placement and risk mitigation challenges.

Scientific Drilling International holds a variety of leadership roles and remains active in industry organizations. For example, ISCWSA, SPE, IADC, and AADE. We are honored to play a vital role in developing and verifying the error models that have become the industry standard for developing survey uncertainty.
