SPT’s Advanced Research Render Mems Gyro Obsolete

Mems Gyro is short form for micro-electro-mechanical-system survey tool used in borehole surveys, geological surveys, oil drilling and mining. What was state-of-art is now rendered obsolete. The conventional Mems gyro has miniature sensors to detect changes in inertia as the gyro attached to drill moves forward. The chief drawback to this is that each 5 to 10 metres, drilling stops and corrections are carried out by the surface computer receiving data from the sensor. Another reason why the mems gyro is receding into the background is that it needs very precise starting azimuth reference, set up with the help of an azimuth aligner. Chances of errors were high and inaccuracies did cause problems.

Long before modern techniques currently used in borehole surveys came into widespread use, Stockholm Precision Tools invested heavily in research on developing the next generation of true north seeking and fiber optic gyros that remained neutral to magnetic influences, could survey continuously and were easy to set up, operate, service and maintain. Known only in specialist drilling circles, SPT invests over 25% of its income into research and development of better, more precise, extremely accurate and reliable true north seeking and fiber optic gyros. For oil and gas exploration companies, mining companies and geological survey companies, each drilling project is mission critical due to several factors involved. There is little margin for error in face of mounting costs and competition. SPT was aware of this situation gaining importance, as far back in 1996 when it started research into better, more precise and accurate systems that would overcome the short comings of mems gyros commonly in use. SPT tools are today accepted as industry standard and a reference by the global drilling and exploration community. Quality, as always, pays and SPT follows a philosophy of continuing excellence as an everyday precept.

Quality is reflected in the performance of its current line of borehole survey instruments, ensuring accuracy and precision. Such astounding perfection, even when operating in continuous mode, simply put paid to the hopes of mems gyros surviving.

Quality shows in the way SPT render services beyond the call of duty, always on standby to offer maintenance and repairs in the shortest possible time. SPT’s responsibility does not end with supplying a system. When users choose SPT, they get equipment of exceptional standards and with it comes training by SPT’s team of experts to prepare actual operators in exploiting the finer points of gyro units to the maximum. Quality is the road of excellence towards perfection, a dictum that is the lifeblood of SPT.
