Enabling high-accuracy drilling in the presence of magnetic interference and offering survey redundancy in noninterference zones, SDI’s gyroMWD technologies eliminate hazards and personnel from the rig and offer significant time savings, allowing for an optimized drilling program.

 

Our gyroMWD technologies define SDI as the ultimate partner in wellbore positioning, meeting industry demand, and exceeding expectations. Recent projects have involved;

/ Batch set top hole drilling with ZeroPOB in a remote region.

/ Deepsea whipstock orientations and casing exits.

/ High inclination / high latitude operations on offshore platforms.

/ Complex collision avoidance in high-angle trajectories.

/ Advanced wellbore surveying in a relief well intercept.


Our gyroMWD tools can be connected to the leading directional providers MWD/ LWD and RSS systems or run within Scientific Drilling’s
Falcon MP and Falcon EM systems.
