AZIMUTHAL GAMMA RAY
Scientific Drilling’s portfolio of API-calibrated gamma ray sensors provides natural measurements close to or at the bit. Real-time gamma-ray data ranges from Total GR to 8 sector azimuthal images.
SMART MOTOR / BITSUB AT-BIT AZIMUTHAL GAMMA RAY & INCLINATION
SMART MOTOR
Scientific Drilling’s Smart Motor & BitSub tool is a short-integrated sensor package. For instance, the package provides at-bit real-time continuous inclination, azimuthal gamma ray, and drilling dynamics measurements. The sensors are in an instrumented Smart Motor or a separate BitSub collar. Therefore, offering a high-precision azimuthal gamma ray less than 2 feet from the bit enables proactive geosteering decisions.
The at-bit continuous inclination gives immediate feedback on wellbore directional trends and motor output. Above all, allowing closer proximity to well plan trajectory.
Utilizing the Wi-Sci™ EM short hop for real-time data transmission, a wide selection of mud motor power sections can be used. This EM short hop technology works in water- and oil-based mud systems. Furthermore, it is compatible with Scientific Drilling’s MP-MWD, EM-MWD, and LWD systems.

HAG – HALO AZIMUTHAL GAMMA RAY
Scientific Drilling’s newest azimuthal gamma-ray tool employs an improved design for higher-quality gamma-ray imaging applications. This probe-based sensor is integrated with the HALO RSS or can be placed just above the mud motor in a conventional assembly.
As geosteering target windows thin, the gamma-ray variability can also decrease. Therefore, leading to uncertainty about whether the wellbore is cutting up or down stratigraphically. For example, employing a larger scintillation crystal and improved azimuthal shielding. The HAG sensor provides better-resolution imaging measurements to aid critical real-time well placement decisions.
DELIVERING THE ULTIMATE VALUE
/ Quadrant real-time Gamma Ray imaging for accurate geologic structural interpretations
/ Decreased bit-to-sensor distances with the HALO RSS
/ Compatible with mud-pulse telemetry and electromagnetic MWD systems w/ conventional mud motor BHA
AZIMUTHAL GAMMA RAY AND INCLINATION (Azi-Gain)
An azimuthal gamma ray solution that provides measurements 20-25 ft (6-8m) closer to the bit than the MWD. It is an excellent tool for Geosteering – helping to keep the bit within the “sweet spot” of the reservoir.
On the Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), Azi-Gain is placed just above the motor. Above all, giving the directional driller enough time to react to formation changes quickly. This technology can be run with any of Scientific Drilling’s MWD and LWD systems in all configurations.
DELIVERING THE ULTIMATE VALUE
/ Provides Up/Down gamma ray and inclination measurements closer than standard MWD
/ Supports all BHA sizes
/ Works seamlessly in real-time with both MP and EM MWD
