WorldWide Drilling Resource

20 FEBRUARY 2014 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Precision, Productivity, and Peace of Mind Adapted from Information by Scientific Drilling International Scientific Drilling International (SDI) announced the success of their high accuracy gyroMWD Module which has run tandem with Baker Hughes’ MWD (measurement while drilling) services on several recent jobs. Proven applications to date have ranged from whipstock ori- entation, multipad drilling, and sur- vey validation; with current markets in- cluding the Gulf of Mexico and on- shore U.S. Activity for the internation- al markets is ex- pected to bui ld over the next cou- ple of months. The gyroMWDModule was launched in May 2013 and was designed as fit-for- purpose modular solution compatible with all industry-leadingMWD and rotary steer- able systems. The gyroMWD Module offers reliable measurements which are backed by the company’s robust quality system, extending from its manufacturing and calibration center to its worldwide district offices and highly skilled operators at the rig site. The gyroMWD Module is said to de- liver the precision, productivity, and peace of mind the market demands by: j Providing real-time gyro tool face, allowing precision surveying in the presence of heavy magnetic inter- ference. j Delivering optimal performance and reliability through proprietary TUF™ Preventative Maintenance System. j Reducing cost by enhanced ROP (rate of penetration) performance and reduced survey acquisition. j Enabling operational efficiency through flexible BHA (bottom hole assembly) configurations. j Providing preventative measures for collision avoidance. j Allowing continuous gyro tool face while sliding. Based in Houston, Texas, SDI is one of the largest independent directional drilling and wellbore placement service providers with operations strategically located around the world in Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Latin America. SDI possesses a unique combination of both experienced pro- fessionals and an extensive portfolio of innovative drilling and production tech- nologies. SDI has a long and successful his- tory of designing, engineering, building, and manufacturing all of its directional drilling technology products in-house. As drilling gets more and more dif- ficult, SDI engineers get better and bet- ter at finding innovative cost-effective solutions to optimize performance. )0&"%1 "6)&4 ,, ,, 2)&0 -%3120*"+ )0&"%1 "-% 312., )0&"%1 "-3'"$230&0 .' -&02*" !&+%&% 0*++ */& 3"+ !"++ 0*++ */& !*0&+*-& 0*++ .% "1*-( .,/.1*2& !*0&+*-& 0*++ .%1 .-*$ 0*++ */& "1*-( *21 &0$311*.- "1*-( *21 0*++ .++"01 *1)*-( ..+1 3#1 2"02&0 .%1 "-% 2"#*+*7&01 0*++ */& -$ )*0% 2 8 !*-12&% ).-& 8 8 "5 2., %0*++/*/&*-$ $., Don’t miss the April issue deadlines!
