  • Error models and gross errors
  • Conclusions and Recommendations

Azimuth

  • Magnetic Reference
    • Magnetic Tools
      • Very stable sensors
      • Variable reference
  • Earth Rate Reference
    • Rate Gyro tools
      • Very stable reference
      • Variable sensors
      • Self oriented with the Earth Rate.
  • Continuous Mode
    • Rate gyro tools
      • Dependent of one initialization point

Quality Control for Magnetic Tools

  • Internal Test in each shot
    • Total Magnetic Field (H Total)
    • Total Gravity (G Total)
    • Dip angle
  • Additional tests
    • Repeated measurements with additional down-hole sensors
  • Rotation Shot Misalignment Test Tool misalignment components For BHA-fixed tool

Rate Gyro - Gyro Compass Mode

  • Accelerometers provide Inclination and Tool Face
  • Gyro provides the direction to true North
