GDIS Introduction

  • GDIS
    • MEMS solid state gyro
    • Robust and low power
    • Traditionally low accuracy
    • 3 axis gyro reduced noise level
    • Accurate flipping mechanism
    • 2 minute survey time (Best survey pumped up)
    • Continuous TF during sliding (3 axis gyro)
    • Multiple surveys on every connection
    • Module based system
    • RPM/downlink/Pumps off survey triggers

GDIS Survey QC and Calibration

  • QC
    • Earth Rate
    • Latitude
    • Standard deviation Indicator (through rotation cycle)
    • Shock & Vibration indicator
    • Standard Deviation
  • Calibration
    • True North referenced stand
    • Tool rotated at known references
    • RT and HT

GDIS Test Parameters

  • GDIS Test parameters
    • Setting up for success
    • Run in memory mode
    • Run on platforms
    • Multiple locations
    • Variation in inclination and azimuth
    • Temp limitation
    • Develop empirical and lab based error model
