On September 5th, 2019, Gyrodata Incorporated released a new gyro-while-drilling (GWD) tool during Offshore Europe in Aberdeen, Scotland. The Quest™ GWD system provides all-attitude, high-accuracy, high-performance surveys in real-time as drilling progresses. The Quest™ GWD is the second release that utilizes Gyrodata’s innovative SPEAR solid-state technology. This ground-breaking technology reduces gyro surveying time and the error of ellipse for increased speed, precision, efficiency, accuracy, and reliability. This improved accuracy helps operators avoid lease lines, mitigates frac hits and enhances ability to hit hydrocarbon-rich target zones. The solid-state sensor package is not affected by shock and vibration or magnetic interference. As a result, drillers can safely steer around existing steel casing and magnetic anomalies. The Quest™ GWD also improves the ellipse of uncertainty by up to 41% compared to competing MEMS GWD systems, while being nearly three times faster to perform surveys. Additionally, the Quest™ GWD’s efficient Coriolis Vibratory Gyro assures precise wellbore guidance for collision avoidance and trajectory placement. The tool provides continuous inclination and tool face from vertical while sliding as well as full surveys on demand. Overall, the Quest™ GWD tool also offers operators shorter surveying time, greater transparency and improved decision making, which allows them to reach survey-reliability goals cost-effectively.
