SPT Advanced Borehole Survey Tool Systems the Perfect Solution for Modern Surveys

Universal Calibration Stand

A true north seeking gyro, the advanced borehole survey tool system by SPT is the perfect solution for modern surveys. Companies today need more precision, accuracy and repeatability in the context of rising costs and increasing competition. The advanced borehole survey tool systems by SPT is a marvel of modern engineering that has addressed and taken care of all the shortcomings found in traditional borehole survey tools. SPT’s tool references true north by sensing the Earth’s rotation so a collar reference is unnecessary, speeding up the process without affecting accuracy.

The advanced borehole survey tool system by SPT can be used at any depth in wireline or memory mode and links with the software provided along with the package, to a PC to help operators and engineers easily analyze data gathered in continuous, multi or single shot modes during run-in, run-out or both. An engineer can easily prepare a report including azimuth and inclination along with temperature data and other relevant information, all in the shortest possible time.  True north seeking gyros from SPT are especially designed to work perfectly in locations with uncorrectable magnetic interferences.

In practical field surveys the advanced borehole survey tool system by SPT has clearly proved to be a winner on all critical counts. Even in magnetically disturbed areas with the presence of well casings within a radius of 50 feet SPT’s instrument has conclusively proved its superiority. SPT has invested heavily in technological innovations to develop next generation instruments. Rugged, made to extremely highspecifications and backed by prompt aftersales services, these advanced borehole survey tool systems by SPT have become the tools of choice, providing perfect solutions to leading geological survey companies worldwide.

A High Temperature View on Gyroscopic Surveys

Universal Calibration Stand

The deeper one goes, the hotter it gets especially in some geographical locations. In such extreme conditions of temperature and pressure, geological survey companies need extremely robust, rugged and reliable tools for Azimuth, tool face and inclination readings. SPT’s next generation Gyro Tracer Directional HT, built inside a protective thermal heat shield admirably fulfils the role, proving resistant to high pressures of 16500 psi and temperatures up to 150 deg. C. Why the Gyro Tracer Directional HT? The answer is it is a sophisticated piece of engineering, combining hardware and software in a fluid way to get results in seconds. Furthermore, an operator can carry out dip and azimuth measurements at various depths in multi-shot or continuous survey mode using this advanced Gyroscopic Survey Tool. An elegant time saving design factor is capability of continuous survey on a run-in, run-out or combined basis. Operating in real-time, the Gyro Tracer Directional HT allows high speed survey at high temperatures with no accuracy degradation.

When you look at the specs you can realize that SPT, ever considerate of the various requirements of different sectors, has specifically developed the Gyro Tracer Directional HT to suit demanding parameters. High temperature and pressure resistant barrel, robustness to operate in harsh environments are some of its many characteristics. Technologically it has the best and most advanced specifications for an instrument in this category.

With SPT’s Gyro Tracer Directional HT, daily operations become easier not only for geological survey companies but also for the operators who can carry out gyroscopic surveys faster. That’s the outcome of intensive research: a sophisticated tool providing reliable repeatable results.

ROIs Dictate Use of Precision Instruments in Mining Drilling

Tests and Surveys pinpoint mineral finds and it remains for drilling companies to come up with productive wells at the first try. Given that costs are spiraling and competition is intense, a mining well drilling company simply cannot afford errors or failures. In some cases mining drilling companies rely on micro-electro-mechanical devices that reference magnetic North. These are prone to magnetic interference and drift over time besides being complicated to set up each time a survey has to be carried out. A far better, technologically superior and vastly more accurate true North seeking Gyro instrument is usurping the once preferred magnetic instrument. These days when ROIs and bottom lines dictate business decisions and practices, drilling and survey companies can hardly afford to ignore improvements that guarantee success. The true North seeking Gyro is becoming the instrument of choice for its consistently reliable and accurate performance in a variety of field conditions, various depths and geological formations.

Leading the cutting edge North seeking gyro instrument technologies is a Swedish based company offering complete borehole survey technologies along with training packages and full-fledged support. The reasons why the true North seeking gyro instrument is gaining in popularity are not difficult to see. There is no drift over time, it surveys deep holes with absolute precision and accuracy regardless of conditions and does not need a starting point since the true North acts as a reference. It is highly sensitive compared to older, less sensitive, magnetic based tools and it can be used at any depth, even inside metal casings without repeated calibrations, azimuth readings or roll tests. This translates to success at the first attempt which, in turn, means a healthy bottom line. When you have a newer, better instrument, the product of intense research and development, assuring full backup support and total success would you want to look elsewhere or go in for a cheaper, unreliable instrumentation system?

Gyros Deliver Accuracy, Predictability and Speed in Borehole Drilling

Accuracy, predictability, speed and repeatability have gained in importance in downhole drilling operations. As matters stand, oilfields are congested. Exploration companies plan to drill new wells in close proximity to production wells. This gives rise to challenges such as magnetic interferences during initial drilling stages. The proximity of existing wells and possibilities of collision rules out the use of standard magnetic based instruments in the survey. The trend is to use gyro while drilling, relying on tracking azimuth in relation to true North in such cases to assure extreme precision in working around existing wells. At drilling depths of up to 6000 meters (value in feet) a deviation of 0.5 degree would define success and failure. Down hole management and use of next generation gyro directional instruments are closely tied to profitability and reputations.

In a scenario utilizing SPT gyro tools the down hole surveyors place the instrument into the UBHO for orientation jobs. Such advanced tools are placed into the wells supplying real time data in a continuous stream, thus eliminating the delays inherent in earlier processes. This translates to zero error regardless of drilling depth, faster achievement of targets, savings in costs, labor and time as a direct outcome of using Gyro While Drilling.

SPT down hole survey tools provide the data that facilitates the tracking, control and confirmation of the planned well profile. With the current competitive environment, high costs and pressure to succeed at the first attempt, there is no room for errors. SPT down hole survey instruments are not an option for success, they are indispensable for accurate, reliable, cost effective down hole operations consequent to the use of gyro while drilling.
