The ParaTrack Gyro Module
The ParaTrack Gyro Module
The ParaTrack Gyro Module is a North seeking HDD gyro steering tool and the latest in a long line of innovations for the HDD market. With no concern for magnetic interference from nearby active utility lines, shore piles, ship traffic or other transportation activity, drilling may be carried out confidently, regardless of surrounding conditions. The ParaTrack Gyro Module provides precision surveys field-proven to 0.02° of inclination and 0.1° of azimuth with a simple setup and user interface.The Gyro works independently of surface magnetic sources, and is designed to withstand the same harsh drilling environment as the proven ParaTrack Steering Tool. Prior to punch-out, absolute drill head position may be verified by the ParaTrack2 Guide Wire or Beacon Tracker System, avoiding lengthy sidetracks for corrections, and eliminating the risk of exceeding the project tolerances. Always know where you will punch out and avoid surprises! The Gyro Module can be utilized on non-magnetic drill collars as small as 5”, giving the operator the ability to use it on mid-sized rigs.
Benefits
- Compatible with the entire range of ParaTrack Steering, Tracking, and Surveying Tools
- Reliable even in high-vibration environments with no additional calibration (North seeking) time
- Pressure rating up to 690 bar (10,000 Psi)
- No specialized handling or personnel required
- No lengthy down-hole re-orientations
- Reduces the need of secondary tracking systems (coil, Beacon, etc.). However, secondary tracking will be used on Entry side and on Exit side when high accuracy is expected to overcome drift, inclination bias and Formation effects.
- Hand carried (not the Non Mags)
Tool Accuracy
Provides a gyroscopic azimuth not perturbed by
- Rail lines
- High voltage power lines
- Live product installations nearby
- Offshore and Outfall applications with large stretches of areas without secondary tracking.
