subject: Oil and Gas: Smallest Gyro Developed by Vaughn Energy Services in Texas [print this page] In the business of directional surveying, accuracy of data and ease of obtaining it are very important factors. Innovative tools have been developed and are now being used to survey borehole possibilities. Vaughn Energy Services is a leader in the industry offering directional survey services and various tools as rentals for companies involved in the business of oil and gas drilling. Now more than ever it is crucial to use gyroscopic technologies and gyro tools that are reliable and accurate. Vaughn Energy Services has developed the smallest gyro available for use in oil and gas industry. The outside diameter is just 1.5 and this tool outperforms other many times its size. These tools are available for purchase and on a rental basis to drilling companies.
One of the main tools used in directional surveying is the Flexi-shot EDI device. This is a high accuracy electronic drift indicator is useful in near vertical drilling. Flexi shot tools Measure actual borehole temperature as well as probe temperature. Drift information can be obtained either from the Flexi-shot LCD readout itself or it can be uploaded for use with other applications when connected to any Windows PC. Users have the option of operating the tool by using the keypad buttons on the unit itself, or via network connection on the user's PC. Data can be hard copy printed on the spot or in office to determine viability of borehole drilling.
Relevant in survey and orientation, another useful tool is the Electronic Multi-shot. It is important to note that this Electronic Multi-shot is reliable and sturdy and is compatible with most hand-held devices. New technology has replaced traditional EMS, which required chemicals and film making the process more time consuming and less cost effective.
Electronic Multi-shot tools, such as those from Vaughn Energy Services, produce digital files for download and operate in any direction or orientation. With the digital advances, the data retrieved is stored in non-volatile memory and can be used immediately or stored for later application. Each Electronic Multi-shot tool operates single shot, multi-shot, or as wire line operation.
