Measurement While Drilling (MWD)

Smith Drilling Systems has purchased and operates the Geo-link MWD system. This product is a robust and compact survey instrument which provides highly accurate measurements of Azimuth, Inclination, and Tool Face from the well bore. The Directional Sensor provides all measurements using Tri-axial Flux Gate Magnetometers and Q-Flex type Accelerometer packages respectively. A built in temperature sensor enables appropriate corrections to be made to these measurements. Tool face readings can be obtained from either the magnetometer or the accelerometer packages according to borehole angle and/or operator choice. Local magnetic and gravity field values are recorded for survey quality control purposes. Features Industry leading Instrument accuracy Robust and Highly Reliable Sondex Drilling Division proprietary technology, manufactured in the UK Available in both Standard and Slim-hole sizes Compatible with all Geolink MWD Systems
